Yair Lapid is right that there is corruption in the World Zionist Organization – but wrong to walk away.
When liberals abandon the field, the far right takes it over.

In a Statement, the World Labor Zionist Alliance Said That the Centrist Yesh Atid's Surprise Withdrawal From the Agreement Governing Power Sharing in the Main Zionist Institutions Had Sent a 'Damaging Message' to Liberal Jews in the Diaspora

Yes, the World Zionist Organization definitely needs more transparency and oversight; and that’s part of what we spent last week doing in J'lem. But Yair Lapid's announcement that Yesh Atid is leaving the WZO is little more than performative politics, explains our ED, R' @mhughesrob.bsky.social.
