By: A loyal listener who laughs, yells at the radio, and occasionally wonders if this is still journalism or just national group therapy.

If you’d told anyone a decade ago that Israel’s hottest right-wing show in 2025 would be two hours of sarcasm, political chaos, and ideological flirtation wrapped in patriotic banter—
they would’ve laughed you out of the newsroom.

But then came “Fathi & Zimri Among the People” (also Fathi & Zimri LTD) on Gali Israel Radio, and suddenly it was cool—no, necessary—to shout about the Deep State, the media, and the Supreme Court while cracking jokes about hummus and IDF reserve duty.

It’s not just a talk show anymore.
It’s a phenomenon.
Or, to be precise: it’s a perfectly twisted mirror of the Israeli right in 2025—divided, loud, self-aware, funny as hell, and absolutely addicted to its own outrage.

They Don’t Do Balance — They Do Truth (With a Wink)

In a media world still dominated by Tel Aviv progressives and faculty-room liberals, Fathi & Zimri are an act of civil disobedience with a punchline.
They don’t pretend to be “neutral.” They don’t bow to buzzwords like “pluralism” or “objectivity.”
They proudly say, “Yeah, we’re right-wing. So what?” — and then proceed to deconstruct the day’s news with the energy of two caffeinated stand-up comics armed with biblical references and Twitter grudges.

Sometimes they’re brilliant:
Within three minutes, they’ll connect an IDF operation in Gaza to Israel’s tax policy and then somehow drag Chief Justice Hayut into the mix.
And sometimes they’re so outrageous you can’t believe it’s live radio.
It is—and that’s exactly the point.

It’s Not Just Radio — It’s a Voiceprint

For years, Israel’s right searched for its voice in the media.
We got Channel 14 on TV, a few brave YouTubers, some Telegram pundits—but Fathi & Zimri took it further.
They turned right-wing politics into performance art.

This isn’t a news show; it’s oxygen for the exhausted majority.
It’s the soundtrack of every guy driving home from work, listening to headlines about “judicial reform,” wanting to scream—and hearing Zimri scream for him.
Then Fathi jumps in, softens it with humor, and five seconds later they’re arguing again.

They sound like an ideological married couple—two talk-show therapists fighting over custody of the national mood.

Their Audience: The Real People

The listeners are not just an audience. They’re a movement.
They send texts during the show, they flood social media, they make memes faster than the Left can fact-check.
They don’t just consume the show—they live it.

For a political camp that’s been told for years to “sit quietly,” this is liberation via decibels.
Where the Left holds moral lectures, the Right now throws a radio party.

“Fathi & Zimri” isn’t about being right—it’s about sounding right.
It’s about reclaiming the national conversation, one punchline at a time.

The Tone: Half Talkback, Half Think Tank

Try explaining “Fathi & Zimri” to a foreigner and you’ll fail.
It’s half political circus, half military analysis, with a dash of Tel Aviv street humor.
They’ll discuss Iran, roast a former state attorney, and then debate where to get the best shawarma near the studio.

That’s Israel in a nutshell: a country where you can talk about existential threats and still make fun of someone’s pink shirt on live air.

But that’s the charm — it’s authentic chaos.
There’s no filter, no fake smiles, no “and now a message from our sponsor.”
It’s raw, funny, patriotic, and unapologetically Israeli.

Laughing at Themselves, Not Just at the Other Side

The secret of their success?
They don’t take themselves too seriously.
They know the right isn’t one monolithic bloc — it’s a glorious mess of settlers, seculars, traditionalists, Likud veterans, and religious Zionists who can’t agree on anything except that they’re tired of being called fascists.

And in that mess, everyone finds a home.
They make the right human again — funny, flawed, loud, but finally confident enough to laugh.

Coming Soon: “Fathi & Zimri — The Reality Show”?

Let’s be honest: Israel doesn’t listen anymore. It watches.
The next logical step is to bring them to TV — the right-wing answer to “Ofira & Berkovic,”
but with more flags, fewer Botox injections, and way more self-awareness.

Until then, they’ll keep broadcasting their brand of comic outrage—
helping millions of Israelis feel a little less alone inside the media storm.

Conclusion: Finally, a Show That Says What We’re All Thinking

In a country where every word is policed, every tweet can ruin a career, and “offense” is a national sport—
“Fathi & Zimri Among the People” is a small cultural explosion of free speech,
a reminder that truth can be loud, unfiltered, and—God forbid—funny.

Because sometimes the best way to survive the madness…
is to laugh louder than it.
