In a moment of war, regional upheaval, and collapsing old assumptions, the Kurdish question is no longer peripheral. 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. Understanding that matters not just for Israel’s security, but for the future of the Middle East after the old order begins to crack.

In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Yonatan Shalev, a 23-year-old former special forces soldier and reservist activist, about Israel’s exploding draft crisis: an army short tens of thousands, repeated reserve call-ups stretching families to breaking point, and a government trying to legislate what critics call a “draft-dodging law” to formalize mass exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men. What happens to Israel’s security, economy, and liberal democracy when service becomes something only a shrinking segment is expected to carry? In this episode, we discuss: Why the IDF says it’s short tens of thousands of soldiers — and what that means in a prolonged warHow repeated reserve duty is crushing the same people who power Israel’s economy and civil societyThe politics of coalition survival vs. national survival: why the draft issue could trigger electionsThe deeper Haredi reality: fear of leaving a closed world, lack of basic education, and rabbinic controlIsrael’s draft debate isn’t just about fairness. It’s about whether a small country in a hostile region can keep a sustainable army, a functioning economy, and a shared sense of obligation — without sliding into a two-tier citizenship where some serve and others are protected from the cost.

And a partnership that could reshape the balance of power from the Mediterranean to the Indo-Pacific. In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Revital Moses, founder of “Moses in Israel” and a leading voice in India–Israel cultural diplomacy. 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. Israel is one of its most important defense and technology partners. But this alliance is more than transactional. It reflects a civilizational confidence in two democracies surrounded by volatile regions, navigating terrorism, technology, and global power shifts. If IMEC succeeds—linking India to Europe through the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel—it could transform global trade routes and reduce the leverage of both Beijing and Tehran. If it fails, the consequences will extend far beyond the region.

The far-left and the far-right are starting to speak the same language—especially about Jews and Israel. In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Karys Rhea, an American political commentator and author of an upcoming book about how identity politics on the right is fracturing Trump’s MAGA movement. They unpack the “woke right” (also called the identitarian right), why it converges with the far-left on anti-Jewish narratives, and how a cultural echo chamber is migrating into real political power at breakneck speed. In this episode, we discuss: • How the “oppressor vs. oppressed” worldview jumped from the far-left to a new faction on the right • Why conspiratorial politics inevitably turns Jews into the “master villain” • What Jewish communities and Christians must do before this virus takes over America This conversation is about more than internet craziness. When a society loses trust in institutions, conspiracy becomes a substitute for explanation—and antisemitism becomes the fastest, laziest shortcut to a total worldview. If democracies can’t name that pattern clearly, they’ll keep fighting yesterday’s battles while tomorrow’s coalition of extremists grows in plain sight. 🎯 Key moment: “The arc of Jew hatred bends into a horseshoe.” Support the show ABOUT THE SHOW EylON 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 Stay up to date at: X: https://x.com/eylontherecord Instagram: https://instagram.com/eylontherecord Support on Patreon for only $10 a month

Today, the same accusations are back—rebranded as “anti-colonialism.” In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Elon Gilad—historian, writer, and a leading voice on Hebrew language and Jewish history (Haaretz columnist and author of The Secret History of Judaism). 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. These myths don’t just distort history—they’re used as weapons to declare Israel uniquely illegitimate, to turn Jewish self-determination into a crime, and to push Jews back into a world where they are tolerated at best and disposable at worst. If you care about truth, liberal democracy, and the fight against modernized antisemitism, you need to understand how these narratives are built—and how to dismantle them.

    “You Will Go Up the Chimney” | Holocaust Survivor Dan Auerbach at 95

    Send a text The Holocaust is slipping from living memory—and that vacuum is being filled with distortion, denial, and inversion. In this special episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Dan Auerbach, a ninety-five-year-old Holocaust survivor, who recounts his childhood journey through the machinery of genocide—from deportation trains and separation from loved ones to survival in Theresienstadt and liberation at the end of the war. 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 resurges Understanding the Holocaust is not only about honoring the past. It is about recognizing how easily moral clarity erodes when lies replace facts—and how quickly violence follows when Jews are recast from victims into villains. This testimony insists on accuracy, memory, and responsibility at a moment when all three are under attack. ⸻ ABOUT THE SHOW EylON 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 in collaboration with Zikaron Basalon  Support the show ABOUT THE SHOW EylON 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 Stay up to date at: X: https://x.com/eylontherecord Instagram: https://instagram.com/eylontherecord Support on Patreon for only $10 a month

But the real question is not how the United States will act, but what an apocalyptic regime will do if it believes its survival is on the line. In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Catherine Perez-Shakdam, a pro-Israel activist with a bizarre backstory that took her to the halls of power in Tehran. 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 shot This 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 SHOW EylON 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/eylontherecord Instagram: instagram.com/eylontherecord Read Andrew's report "TACTICAL LESSONS FROM GAZA": https://henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/tactical-lessons-from-gaza/ Support the show ABOUT THE SHOW EylON 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 Stay up to date at: X: https://x.com/eylontherecord Instagram: https://instagram.com/eylontherecord Support on Patreon for only $10 a month
