Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon responded for the first time on Thursday to Yisrael Beytenu joining the government, and said that “There is a loss of moral compass when it comes to basic questions that are clear as day to me.”
“Navigate according to a compass, not according to a weathervane. I cannot say that I was not surprised by those who loudly slammed basic values. I am convinced that the sane majority is not among those voices, but a small rock inside an empty barrel makes a loud sound. In this case the rock is no longer small,” he said.
