Today, many British Jews are asking whether that promise still holds.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Dov Forman, New York Times bestselling author of Lily’s Promise, former adviser to Robert Jenrick, and a prominent voice against antisemitism in the UK, about Britain’s worsening antisemitism crisis, the rise of anti-Israel radicalism, and whether Jewish life in the UK is becoming increasingly unsustainable. They discuss Jeremy Corbyn’s legacy, the normalization of anti-Zionist hostility, Iran-backed threats on British soil, the failures of policing and prosecution, and what all this means for Britain, Israel, democracy, and the future of the West.In this episode, we discuss:• How antisemitism in Britain moved from the political fringe into mainstream society • Why “anti-Zionism” has become a social purity test for British Jews • How weekly anti-Israel marches, weak law enforcement, and political cowardice have emboldened extremists • Whether Britain can still offer a secure future for its Jewish community, or whether more Jews will look to IsraelThis conversation moves beyond headlines about protests and political slogans. The deeper question is whether a democratic society can protect a small minority when ideological extremism, foreign influence, and social intimidation are allowed to grow unchecked. For British Jews, this is not an abstract debate about foreign policy. It is about whether they can walk openly as Jews, speak honestly about Israel, and trust the institutions meant to protect them.🎯 Key moment: “The purity test doesn’t actually exist, because the man who stabbed two Jews didn’t ask them what their stance on Israel was before he attacked them.”🎙 Filmed at M10 Studios, Tel Aviv mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showABOUT THE SHOWEylON the Record is a podcast about Israel, the global information war, and the battle between democratic societies and authoritarian or extremist movements — told through in-depth conversations with people shaping events

It does not necessarily remove the threat — it may simply shift the burden back onto Israel.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about the future of the Iranian threat, the risks of a suboptimal U.S.-Iran deal, and whether the Islamic Republic can be contained without regime change. They discuss the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear program, the limits of diplomacy, Israel’s shadow war, and the broader strategic question facing the West: whether democratic allies are prepared to weaken their enemies before those enemies recover.In this episode, we discuss: Why reopening the Strait of Hormuz without confronting Iran’s core threats could create a dangerous precedent  Whether Iran’s nuclear program has been seriously set back — or merely driven deeper underground  How a U.S.-Iran deal could leave Israel with more responsibility and less diplomatic cover  Why Dubowitz argues Israel must focus on weakening the Islamic Republic before it rebuilds This conversation moves beyond the immediate headlines over diplomacy and ceasefires. The deeper question is whether the West is prepared to confront the Islamic Republic as a strategic enemy, or whether it will settle for temporary arrangements that leave Israel facing the same threat again — only stronger, richer, and harder to stop.🎯 Key moment: “Israel has two and a half years under President Trump to bring down the Islamic Republic of Iran.”🎙 Filmed at M10 Studios, Tel Aviv mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showABOUT THE SHOWEylON the Record is a podcast about Israel, the global information war, and the battle between democratic societies and authoritarian or extremist movements — told through in-depth conversations with people shaping events on the front lines.Stay up to date at:X: https://x.com/eylontherecordInstagram: https://instagram.com/eylontherecordSupport on <a href='https://patreon.com

But after October 7, the question is whether the entertainment industry still has the courage to tell Jewish and Israeli stories honestly.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Jonah Platt, actor, writer, host of Being Jewish, and a leading voice on Jewish identity in Hollywood, about whether Jews and Israel are being pushed into the villain role in American culture. They discuss the fear around Jewish representation, the chilling effect around Israel, the battle inside Hollywood after October 7, and why storytelling matters in the broader fight for moral clarity, democracy, and the West’s understanding of Israel.In this episode, we discuss: Why some actors and studios are afraid to touch even apolitical Jewish stories  The difference between anti-Israel activism in Hollywood and the quieter Jewish fightback behind the scenes  How “oppressor vs. oppressed” narratives shape the cultural space around Israel  Why Jewish and Israeli creators need to tell better, more compelling stories before others define them This conversation moves beyond celebrity politics. The real stakes are cultural: who gets to define Jews, Zionism, Israel, and moral legitimacy for the next generation. If the only Jewish stories allowed are safe, detached, or stripped of Israel, then the Jewish people lose more than representation — they lose narrative power.🎯 Key moment: “We can’t have any more Jews writing movies about Norwegians. They gotta be about Jews in Israel, because we need to be telling our own stories.” You can follow Jonah and listen to Being Jewish with Jonah Platt on all major podcast platforms and on social media at @JonahPlatt and @BeingJewishPodcast.mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showABOUT THE SHOWEylON the Record is a podcast about Israel, the global information war, and the battle between democratic societies and authoritarian or extremist movements — told through in-depth conversations with people shaping events on the front lines.Stay up to date at:X: https://x.com/eylontherecordInstagram: <a href='https

But how stable is that quiet really?In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Aaron Magid, author of The Most American King: Abdullah of Jordan, about Israel’s cold peace with Jordan, the fragility beneath the 1994 peace treaty, and why instability in the Hashemite Kingdom would have serious consequences for Israel, the region, and the West. In this episode, we discuss:• Why Jordan remains one of Israel’s most important security partners despite hostile public opinion • How King Abdullah has kept the peace treaty intact under pressure from the Jordanian street • The role of American aid, Israeli water and gas, and Jordanian security cooperation • Why the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran, and Palestinian politics make Jordan a critical strategic frontBeyond the headlines, this conversation is about the danger of assuming quiet borders are permanent.

And in the Middle East, the difference between a breakthrough and a mirage can be a matter of political will.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Dan Feferman, co-founder and co-editor of Middle East 24, former executive director of Sharaka, and an IDF reserves major, about the sudden and extraordinary possibility of peace talks between Israel and Lebanon. They unpack how Hezbollah’s weakening, Lebanon’s internal political shifts, and American mediation have created an opening that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago — and whether this moment could produce a real strategic shift or just another temporary pause before the next war.In this episode, we discuss: Why the real conflict is not between Israel and Lebanon, but between both states and Hezbollah  How Israeli military pressure changed the political balance inside Lebanon  Whether the Lebanese state can actually confront Hezbollah without sliding into civil war  Why parts of the Western media and European leadership still misunderstand this moment This conversation goes beyond the headlines to ask what peace would actually require: not just ceasefires or diplomatic theater, but the dismantling of an Iranian proxy that has held Lebanon hostage and kept both countries trapped in a conflict neither population truly wants. Getting this right matters not only for Israel and Lebanon, but for the wider struggle between regional stability and the forces that profit from permanent war.🎯 Key moment: “War should end with peace, not a piece of paper.”mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showABOUT THE SHOWEylON the Record is a podcast about Israel, the global information war, and the battle between democratic societies and authoritarian or extremist movements — told through in-depth conversations with people shaping events on the front lines.Stay up to date at:X: https://x.com/eylontherecordInstagram: https://instagram.com/eylontherecordSupport on <a href='https://patreon.com/eylonalevy'

But when the Islamic Republic is finally under real pressure, many of the same voices suddenly want de-escalation.What exactly are Western leaders so afraid of: a wider war, or the fall of the regime itself?In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about whether regime change in Iran is still a realistic outcome, why Western governments seem more frightened by instability than by tyranny, and what the fall of the Islamic Republic could mean for Israel, the Gulf states, Europe, and the future balance of power in the Middle East.In this episode, we discuss: Why so many Western leaders prefer the “devil they know” in Tehran to the uncertainty of regime collapse  Whether the war is actually creating the conditions for regime change after the bombing stops  How Gulf states, Europe, Turkey, Russia, and China are positioning themselves for the day after  Whether a weakened Iran leads to containment, covert action, or a full scramble to remake the region This conversation goes beyond the immediate battlefield. It asks whether the West still has the confidence to confront openly hostile regimes, or whether it has become so risk-averse that it now fears the collapse of tyranny more than tyranny itself. Getting that question wrong will shape not just Iran’s future, but the future of regional order and Western credibility.🎯 Key moment: “When the bombing stops, that’s when the interesting stuff is very likely to begin.”🎙 Filmed at M10 Studios, Tel Aviv mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showABOUT THE SHOWEylON the Record is a podcast about Israel, the global information war, and the battle between democratic societies and authoritarian or extremist movements — told through in-depth conversations with people shaping events on the front lines.Stay up to date at:X: https://x.com/eylontherecordInstagram: https://instagram.com/eylonthereco

But worse than the sirens, the sleepless nights, and the chaos is watching serious people say unserious things with total confidence.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Shany Mor, former Israeli National Security Council official and academic, about the flood of bad analysis surrounding Israel’s war with Iran. They examine why so many commentators, diplomats, and self-described experts keep recycling arguments that collapse under basic scrutiny, from claims that Iran is somehow winning, to the idea that international law exists mainly to constrain Israel while shielding those attacking it. The conversation goes to the heart of a larger question: what happens when moral posturing replaces strategic thinking in the way the West talks about war, deterrence, and Israel’s right to defeat its enemies?In this episode, we discuss: Why the claim that striking terrorists only “creates more terrorists” is applied obsessively to Israel and almost nowhere else  How “international law” is often invoked against Israel in ways that are incoherent, selective, and politically motivated  Why ceasefire diplomacy so often freezes threats in place instead of removing them  How fantasy narratives about the Iran deal, deterrence, and “forever wars” distort what Israel is actually facing This conversation goes beyond headlines and talking points. It is about whether democratic societies still know how to think seriously about war, victory, deterrence, and self-defense. If the West cannot distinguish between ending a threat and managing it forever, it will keep rewarding aggression and punishing those willing to confront it.🎯 Key moment: “People who make these big, empirically verifiable statements often count on us not going out and verifying them.”🎙 Filmed at M10 Studios, Tel Aviv mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showABOUT THE SHOWEylON the Record is a podcast about Israel, the global information war, and the battle between democratic societies and authoritarian or extremist movements — told through in-depth conversations with people shaping events on

The question now is not whether Israel has power, but what it will do with it.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Sharren Haskel, Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister, about how October 7 and the war that followed transformed Israel from a country under siege into a state projecting force across the region. They discuss how Israel has emerged as a new regional power, why much of the West still struggles to understand the threat from Iran, and what a stronger Israel means for the future of the Middle East, the democratic world, and the fight against Islamist extremism.In this episode, we discuss:Why mass Muslim immigration from antisemitic countries is dictating European foreign policyHow Israel and the United States are doing the world’s “dirty work” by confronting the Iranian regime Why Western leaders keep trying to freeze conflicts instead of solving them How the fall of Iran’s regional axis could reshape Israel’s ties with Arab states This conversation goes beyond battlefield updates to a deeper question: what kind of power Israel is becoming. If Israel emerges from this war stronger, more feared, and more central to regional security, then the real challenge will be how that power is used, how it is judged, and whether the West is capable of understanding the stakes before it is too late.🎯 Key moment: “October 7 will go down as one of the greatest strategic blunders in modern warfare, because instead of wiping Israel off the map, it has entrenched Israel more firmly on the map than ever before.”🎙 Filmed at M10 Studios, Tel Aviv https://m10.co.il/video-podcast-studio-tel-aviv mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: <a href='https:/

But the ease with which it spread reveals something far more serious: hostile actors no longer need bombs alone to destabilize democracies. They can do it with algorithms, fake accounts, recycled footage, and millions of willing believers.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Travis Hawley, a former US Air Force intelligence analyst and open-source investigator, about how the conspiracy theory that Netanyahu is dead went viral, who helped push it, and what it reveals about the broader information war facing Israel and the West. They explore how state and non-state actors exploit social media, AI, and collapsing public trust to spread falsehoods, inflame hatred, and weaken democratic societies from within.In this episode, we discuss:How the “Netanyahu is dead” conspiracy spread from fringe rumor to mass delusionThe role of Iran-linked propaganda, bot networks, troll farms, and useful idiots in amplifying liesWhy fake footage of destroyed Tel Aviv and AI hoaxes are part of a wider asymmetric warWhether democracies can defend themselves when social media rewards manipulation over truthThis conversation goes beyond one viral lie.

Now Lebanon is being forced to confront what that evasion has cost.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Jonathan Elkhoury, a Lebanese-Israeli and the son of an officer in the former South Lebanon Army, about Hezbollah’s grip on Lebanon, why the Lebanese state failed to dismantle it after the November 2024 ceasefire, and why Israel no longer believes diplomacy alone can remove the threat. Together, they examine whether Lebanon’s sudden moves against Hezbollah are genuine, whether peace talks with Israel are serious or tactical, and what this means for Israel, Lebanon, and the wider war against Iran’s proxy network.In this episode, we discuss:Why the 2024 ceasefire failed and how Hezbollah rearmed despite diplomatic guaranteesWhether the Lebanese government truly could not confront Hezbollah — or chose not toWhy Israel sees renewed diplomacy as a way of freezing the threat rather than removing itWhether Hezbollah’s defeat could create a real opening for peace between Israel and LebanonThis conversation goes beyond the latest strikes and ceasefire talk.

The question now is whether the U.S. and Israel will finish the job—or leave behind an even more dangerous regime.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Lt. Gen. Dick Newton, former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force and America’s first commander of the B-2 stealth bomber squadron, about the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran and what it will take to actually win. They discuss whether this is a synchronized allied operation or two parallel wars, what success against the Islamic Republic would really look like, and why stopping short could leave Israel, the United States, and the wider region facing an even greater threat.In this episode: Why the United States is so impressed with the Israeli Air Force as a "force multiplier" for American power Why declaring victory too early could leave a wounded Iranian regime alive, angry, and more dangerous than beforeWhy a joint US-Israeli commando operation might be the only way to deal with the Iranian regime's enriched uranium This conversation goes beyond the daily headlines to examine the real strategic stakes: deterrence, alliance credibility, regime survival, and the future balance of power in the Middle East.

It may be central to what comes next.In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Uri Zaki, policy fellow at Mitvim – The Israeli Institute for Regional Foreign Policies, about whether the Kurds could play a decisive role in weakening or even helping topple the Islamic Republic. They discuss the strategic logic behind Israeli interest in Kurdish alliances, the risks of backing minority forces inside Iran, and why the post–October 7 Middle East is forcing Israel to think like a regional power — not just a country defending its borders. The conversation explores what regime change in Iran could actually look like, and what it would mean for Israel, for the region, and for the wider democratic world confronting authoritarian aggression.In this episode, we discuss:Why even a prominent voice on the Israeli left sees the war against Iran’s regime as justifiedWhat the Kurds in Iran can realistically do — and why backing them is essential if the regime somehow survives Why Israel may need a coherent long-term Kurdish strategy across Iran, Syria, Iraq, and TurkeyThis conversation goes beyond the immediate military campaign. It gets at a deeper question: what kind of regional order could emerge if Iran’s regime weakens, and whether minority alliances, federal structures, and political realism can succeed where slogans and diplomacy alone have failed.

Born in India to the historic Bene Israel Jewish community and now an Israeli citizen, Revital offers a rare insider perspective on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s expected visit to Israel (February 25)—and what it signals about India’s strategic ambitions, its balancing act in the Middle East, and the future of the IMEC trade corridor.At a time when Western campuses are increasingly hostile to Israel, India’s growing alignment carries profound geopolitical and moral significance.In this episode, we discuss:How Israel’s support during the 1999 Kargil War reshaped India–Israel relationsWhy Modi’s upcoming visit is a statement of strategic independence—not just diplomacyWhether anti-Israel radicalization on Western campuses is beginning to influence young IndiansThe promise—and vulnerability—of IMEC as a counterweight to China’s Belt and Road InitiativeIndia is now the world’s fastest-growing major economy.

Together they dissect how modern antizionist narratives recycle old falsehoods: reframing Jewish return as “colonialism,” treating Hebrew revival as proof of invention, and reviving pseudo-history to deny Jewish peoplehood and Jewish indigeneity.In this episode, we discuss:⬛ The core difference between colonialism and Jewish national return⬛ How Hebrew was revived from a centuries-old living written language⬛The disturbing return to racial politics among "progressives" The stakes aren’t academic.

Recorded ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day at a Zikaron Basalon gathering in Eylon's home in Tel Aviv, this conversation confronts what happens when history is forgotten—and why testimony still matters now.In this episode, we discuss:• What the Holocaust looked like through the eyes of a child who lived it• The moment friends turned into persecutors—and what that revealed• Survival, memory, and the burden carried by those who lived• Why Holocaust remembrance is collapsing just as antisemitism resurgesUnderstanding the Holocaust is not only about honoring the past.

They discuss how the Islamic Republic of Iran actually thinks—its ideological drivers, its apocalyptic streak, and why Western governments keep misreading Tehran as a “normal” authoritarian state.In this episode, we discuss:Catherine’s surreal personal journey—and how she gained proximity to senior Iranian figuresWhy the Islamic Republic operates like a cult, not a conventional stateWhat “Death to Israel” means in the regime’s own words—and why dismissing it as rhetoric is dangerousHow Iran behaves when cornered: escalation, deterrence, and the logic of “maximum pressure”Understanding Iran isn’t an academic exercise. If policymakers mistake ideology for theatrics, they’ll miscalculate deterrence, misunderstand escalation, and sleepwalk into the next phase of the conflict—whether that’s an external war, internal collapse, or something uglier in between.🎯 “It’s a cult.

It’s fought tunnel by tunnel—and headline by headline.In this first episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Andrew Fox, a former British Army officer and military analyst who has studied the IDF’s campaign in Gaza and what Western militaries—and Western democracies—should learn from it. They examine how Israel adapted in real time to tunnels, civilian shields, and a battlefield designed to produce global outrage, and why the information war can decide what happens in the physical war.In this episode, we discuss:• How the IDF adapted under fire: tunnel operations, command integration, and rapid learning loops• The surprising battlefield edge: data-driven medicine and forward deployment that saved hundreds of lives• Why “civilian harm” became a strategic weapon—and what that means for future Western wars• The enemy’s playbook: how Hamas “deletes itself” from coverage, goes underground, and builds a media ecosystem before the first shotThis conversation goes beyond slogans about “morality” or “PR.” It’s about how democracies should fight enemies who use civilians as human sacrifices, treat cameras as weapons, and understand that delegitimization can be as powerful as rockets. If the West gets the lesson wrong, the next war will be harder—and the next enemy will be smarter.🎯 Key moment:“The first lesson for an asymmetric enemy is this: delete yourself from the battlefield. If no one sees your casualties, if you’re absent from the coverage, the war stops looking like force-on-force—and starts looking like one side simply destroying the other.”ABOUT THE SHOWEylON the Record is a podcast about Israel, the global information war, and the battle between democratic societies and authoritarian or extremist movements — told through in-depth conversations with people shaping events on the front lines.🎙 Filmed at M10 Studios, Tel Aviv ➡️ https://m10.co.il/Follow on social media:Twitter: x.com/eylontherecordInstagram: instagram.com/eylontherecordRead Andrew's report "TACTICAL LESSONS FROM GAZA": https://henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/tactical-lessons-from-gaza/mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show<
