Ronn Torrosian has been active in revitalizing Betar in the United States in the wake of the current resurgent anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
As a result of an exchange of mutual criticism with members of a rival list participating in the elections for the upcoming World Zionist Congress, Ronn was banned from being elected.
Chaim Fischgrund, who was among those who sat in at the Syriam UN Mission in 1966, noted:
"I believe that after our takeover of the Syrian Mission to the UN there was a proposal raised in the Zionist Youth Council to suspend or perhaps expel Betar".
Efraim Dimant added this:
"Betar was not removed but I was invited by Ted Comet to submit my resignation as chair of the Council."
