Two ancient civilizations. Two young states. 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 relations
• Why Modi’s upcoming visit is a statement of strategic independence—not just diplomacy
• Whether anti-Israel radicalization on Western campuses is beginning to influence young Indians
• The promise—and vulnerability—of IMEC as a counterweight to China’s Belt and Road Initiative

India 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.

Antisemitism is back, and this time it's everywhere.
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.”

Two thousand years ago, Josephus was already rebutting the claim that Jews are a fake people with a fake past. 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.

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.

The world is watching President Trump—and guessing what he will do with Iran's murderous leaders. 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 figures
• Why the Islamic Republic operates like a cult, not a conventional state
• What “Death to Israel” means in the regime’s own words—and why dismissing it as rhetoric is dangerous
• How 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 absolutely a cult.”

Urban warfare isn’t just fought street by street. 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.”

Starved, tortured, and still alive—Rebecca now speaks publicly, demanding the world not forget her husband or the other hostages left behind.

In this emotional and urgent conversation, Rebecca recounts:
•The day Elkana was taken, after staying behind to help others escape
•Why she initially stayed silent—and what made her speak out
•The horrific conditions Elkana is enduring underground in Gaza
•The heartbreaking toll on their five-year-old son, Re’em
•The global indifference that’s prolonging the hostages’ suffering

Rebecca’s testimony is a raw and powerful reminder of what’s at stake in this war—not just for Israel, but for the soul of the free world.

🎯 “They put a photo of our son on the tunnel wall—to torture him with what he couldn’t have.”
