Prof. Asa Kasher today explained his joining the Israel Veterans Party, led by Danny Yatom.

"I don't go into politics in the sense of power struggles. All my life I've been involved in just struggles - I've spoken in favor of women, Arabs, LGBT people, children, and the sick. Now I have to help the group that I belong to and who suffers from discrimination," said Kasher in a Kan News interview.
