When interviewed by Reuters, Itzchak said, "The issue of getting the Israeli people to be more united is my main motivation for being here. I get the chance to sit and actually talk and listen to people from many different backgrounds and origins such as Russians, hippies, right and left wingers, religious and seculars and the fact that we sit together and spend time together everyday or most of the day is a step towards unity. It might happen that because of family or work I will have to leave the camp at some point but even then I'm planning to come back and spend a bit of time here so that I'll still be part of this ongoing change together with everyone."
