That makes sense. Perfect match. Ain Atid is the Anti Torah party.
He and lapid together can go Flying.
So Stern finally shows his true colors. A kipa-wearing, self-hating, anti-Semite. Let’s see how much Tora-bashing he’ll do with his new partners-in-gehenam.
Bayit Yehudi is too “frum” for someone who is anti-hareidi and anti-yeshiva (remember, it grew out of the Mafdal – the religious party). Lapid is a logical home for those modern orthodox who are anti-hareidi, of which there are many.
