 Eighteen Years of Exceptional 
Pro-Israel Activism

Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon served as chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from 2002 to 2005. Born in 1950 in Kiryat Haim, he was drafted into the IDF in 1968. He served as a reserve paratrooper during the 1973 Yom Kippur War and participated on the Suez front. In 1986, General Yaalon left to pursue advanced studies in Camberly, England. When he returned to Israel, he became commander of an elite unit in which he had previously served. In January 1992, Yaalon was appointed commanding officer for Judea and Samaria and promoted to the rank of brigadier-general. In May 1998, he was appointed commander officer for Central Command. General Yaalon was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-general and appointed the seventeenth IDF chief of staff on July 9, 2002, a position he held until June 1, 2005. General Yaalon is married and has three children.

SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER: Dan Alon

In 1972, Dan Alon, then aged 27, marched into the Olympic stadium in Munich under the Israeli flag. Six days later, on Sept. 5, 1972, the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September took 11 Israeli athletes and coaches hostage in their rooms at the Olympic Village. None of the hostages survived. At 4:30 a.m. Alon was sleeping in his room in the second of five units that housed the Israeli squad. He and his teammate awoke to the sound of machine gun fire. The athletes in room number two miraculously avoided capture. Despite his talent, Alon gave up fencing. He returned to the sport at the urging of his students only once, at age 46, when he again won the Israeli fencing championship. Dan began a career in business and now is a manager-director at a plastics company. He met his wife, Adele-a native of Capetown, South Africa-while she was hitchhiking in Israel. They have three children, one of whom also fences.
