The latest “scandal” in Israel - An Intelligence Director who does not touch women

from The Pulse of Israel · host Avi Abelow

Israel’s latest manufactured “scandal” centers on the appointment of David Zini as head of the Shin Bet and his open declaration that, as a religious Jew, he does not shake hands with women in accordance with Jewish law. The furious reaction to this—framed as an issue of “equality”—reveals far more about Israel’s self-styled liberal elite and their intolerance for authentic Jewish observance than it does about Zini himself.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
