Now we are saying enough," said Aviva.Aviva continued by saying "four long years of negotiations have gone by and nothing has happened. During this time terrorists were released and closure was imposed on Gaza. Mr. Prime minister, on Friday families will sit down to Shabbat dinner, and Gilad will sit in a hole in Gaza, God knows where, as he has for four years."Over 10,000 people joined the march on Friday escorting the Schalit family to Netanya.Shimshon Liebman, head of the Schalit campaign, said "More and more people understand that what we have done so far is not enough."
