Former Chief of Staff Moshe "Boogie" Yaalon has decided to join Likud after weeks of serious exploration both as to Netanyahu's true intentions on important issues and as to his own political conscience.
Known for his analytical acumen as well as his decision to leave a lauded military career because of the evacuation of Jews from Gush Katif, a move he felt to be a strategic and military blunder, Yaalon has spoken out to clarify the consistency of his kibbutz, Left-leaning background with his beliefs about what is best and right for a strong future in Israel.
No puppet or darling of the Right or of the Left, Boogie has proven over and over that he is his own person with a strong set of principles and values which guide his decision-making.
A beacon in a sea of swirling alliances based more on how to intensify one's personal spotlight than what is good for the country.
