Judea, Samaria and Gaza (Yesha) Council leader Pinchas Wallerstein told Arutz-7:
Speaking from Kfar Maimon, where demonstrators stopped for the evening, Wallerstein called for thousands more to join the anti-Disengagement protest. "This is a clear-cut call for tens of thousands more to arrive here in order to win this struggle. I make this call despite the fact that the public is aware of the need for more people and is already marching and arriving from all over the country, precisely because of the police's stunts."
Knesset Member Uri Ariel (National Union), who is also at the march, seconds Wallerstein's call. He told Arutz-7 Radio that if thousands more join the protest, then the demonstrators will have the power to bring down the government:
Kedumim Mayor Daniella Weiss told reporters during the first leg of the march to Gush Katif Monday that soldiers are not motivated to block protestors. She claims that a lack of motivation among soldiers is obvious from their faces and statements. “Soldiers understand that [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon is a dictator."
Weiss, a veteran settlement pioneer and leader, said confidently that Kfar Maimon is a temporary stop, and the march will continue on "to Gush Katif and all of the Land of Israel."
"Last night was one of the greatest and most moving experiences that I recall. We are talking about unprecedented numbers of people.According to eye-witness and media reports, some tens of thousands more demonstrators are making their way to the march.
“The police were cocky after the stunt with the buses that they pulled on us. A senior commander told me dismissively, 'Now only six or seven thousand people will show up,' and in the end, between 70 and 100 thousand protestors marched with determination... [and] stood up for themselves, firmly stood their ground."

"There is no need to confront a single soldier or a single policeman. The dictatorship is in a panic and note how it behaves. In my opinion, we are at the beginning of the end of this government.MK Ariel noted with evident admiration that the protestors are not confronting police or the army, but are singing and dancing with Torah scrolls in their hands. This type of non-confrontational protest march, he said, "is unprecedented."
The masses continued to march overnight and there was never anything like this, of this size. I hear the people of faith, smiling and feeling great to be able to carry out this task with self-sacrifice and in a democratic manner."
