Meet the father of 11 the Israeli establishment wants to shut down
Meira Kolatch hosting  “The Meira K Show” on JNS TV
Something explosive is happening in Israel, and most Americans have no clue. In this week’s episode, host Meira K breaks down the shocking political war behind the headlines: the rise of Maj. Gen. David Zini, an Orthodox, right-wing father of 11 who’s just been nominated to lead Israel’s most secretive and powerful agency: the Shin Bet.

But this isn’t just about one man. It’s about who really runs Israel—the elected right-wing majority or the entrenched unelected security elite.

Zini’s nomination has shaken the Israeli establishment to its core. Why? Because he predicted the Hamas massacre on Oct. 7, 2023, in a memo. When others stayed silent, he ran into battle. And now, instead of being celebrated, he’s being attacked by judges, ex-Shin Bet chiefs, the media and leftist elites terrified of losing control. (0:23-24:42)


“Standpoint” with Gabe Groisman and guest Rich McCormick
Peace through strength: Rep. Rich McCormick speaks about Israel, Gaza and US power 
American leadership, military deterence and U.S.–Israel relations take center stage in this episode of “Standpoint.” Hosted by Gabe Groisman, a Florida communal leader and the former mayor of Bal Harbour, the program welcomes Rep. Rich McCormick—an ER physician, veteran of combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now a leading voice on Capitol Hill.

McCormick shares his perspective on the role of U.S. military strength; why peace is only possible through deterrence; and how America’s alliances, particularly with Israel, shape the future of global security. The conversation ranges from committee assignments in Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Science, Space & Technology, to the challenges of isolationism versus global engagement. (24:42-56:07)
