New Recruit for the Forward Party
This is strange. Dyed in the wool lefty Israeli politician (and Nobel Peace laureate) Shimon Peres, who was in the liberal Labor Party for at least 60 years, strongly hinted today that he will quit that party and join the new party, the Forward Party, started by current Prime Minister Ariel Sharon who recently left his conservative Likud Party after many decades in it. In addition, a TV journalist quit her job to hook up with Labor. A respected professor announced he's switching parties.
What's with current politics in Israel? Is everyone having a well past middle age crisis?
