But there is also a price to ending a war on the enemy’s terms — and that price can be more war.</p><p>In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with listeners in an emergency solo episode after Israel and Iran traded fire in a dangerous 24-hour escalation. He explains why the question is not simply whether Israel should “stop shooting,” but whether Iran can use missile attacks to force Israel to stop defending itself against Hezbollah. At stake is the future of deterrence, the freedom of Lebanon, the security of northern Israel, and whether Iranian proxy armies can drag the region into war whenever Tehran decides.</p><p>In this episode, we discuss:</p><ul><li>Why Iran’s missile fire was really about protecting Hezbollah from Israeli retaliation</li><li>The danger of ending a war too soon if it rewards aggression and invites the next round</li><li>How Iran’s “ring of fire” — Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis — has become a strategic liability for Tehran</li><li>The “Pride paradox”: why Israelis want normal life to resume, but cannot accept a reality where Iran can cancel it at will</li></ul><p>This episode moves beyond the headlines of ceasefires, missile salvos, and calls for restraint. The deeper question is whether Israel can be expected to absorb attacks from Iranian-backed forces while the world demands calm from the country being targeted. If Iran learns that firing missiles at Israeli cities carries no price, the next escalation will not be a surprise. It will be the result of a message the world allowed Tehran to hear.</p><p>🎯 Key moment:<br/>“If you want peace, you don’t reward aggression.

But there is also a price to ending a war on the enemy’s terms — and that price can be more war.</p><p>In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with listeners in an emergency solo episode after Israel and Iran traded fire in a dangerous 24-hour escalation. He explains why the question is not simply whether Israel should “stop shooting,” but whether Iran can use missile attacks to force Israel to stop defending itself against Hezbollah. At stake is the future of deterrence, the freedom of Lebanon, the security of northern Israel, and whether Iranian proxy armies can drag the region into war whenever Tehran decides.</p><p>In this episode, we discuss:</p><ul><li>Why Iran’s missile fire was really about protecting Hezbollah from Israeli retaliation</li><li>The danger of ending a war too soon if it rewards aggression and invites the next round</li><li>How Iran’s “ring of fire” — Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis — has become a strategic liability for Tehran</li><li>The “Pride paradox”: why Israelis want normal life to resume, but cannot accept a reality where Iran can cancel it at will</li></ul><p>This episode moves beyond the headlines of ceasefires, missile salvos, and calls for restraint. The deeper question is whether Israel can be expected to absorb attacks from Iranian-backed forces while the world demands calm from the country being targeted. If Iran learns that firing missiles at Israeli cities carries no price, the next escalation will not be a surprise. It will be the result of a message the world allowed Tehran to hear.</p><p>🎯 Key moment:<br/>“If you want peace, you don’t reward aggression. If you want Lebanon free, you don’t give Hezbollah immunity.”</p><p>ABOUT THE SHOW<br/>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.</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/eylontherecord">Support the show</a></p><p>ABOUT THE SHOW<br/>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.</p><p>Stay up to date at:<br/>X: <a href='https://x.com/eylontherecord'>https://x.com/eylontherecord</a><br/>Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/eylontherecord'>https://instagram.com/eylontherecord</a><br/><br/></p><p>Support on <a href='https://patreon.com/eylonalevy'>Patreon</a> for only $10 a month<br/><br/></p>]]></content:encoded>

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.</p><p>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.</p><p><b>In this episode, we discuss:</b></p><ul><li>How the “Netanyahu is dead” conspiracy spread from fringe rumor to mass delusion</li><li>The role of Iran-linked propaganda, bot networks, troll farms, and useful idiots in amplifying lies</li><li>Why fake footage of destroyed Tel Aviv and AI hoaxes are part of a wider asymmetric war</li><li>Whether democracies can defend themselves when social media rewards manipulation over truth</li></ul><p>This conversation goes beyond one viral lie.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p><b>In this episode, we discuss:</b></p><ul><li>How the “Netanyahu is dead” conspiracy spread from fringe rumor to mass delusion</li><li>The role of Iran-linked propaganda, bot networks, troll farms, and useful idiots in amplifying lies</li><li>Why fake footage of destroyed Tel Aviv and AI hoaxes are part of a wider asymmetric war</li><li>Whether democracies can defend themselves when social media rewards manipulation over truth</li></ul><p>This conversation goes beyond one viral lie.

It may begin at the edges.</p><p>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.</p><p><b>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.</b> 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.</p><p><b>In this episode, we discuss:</b></p><ul><li>Why even a prominent voice on the Israeli left sees the war against Iran’s regime as justified</li><li>What the Kurds in Iran can realistically do — and why backing them is essential if the regime somehow survives </li><li>Why Israel may need a coherent long-term Kurdish strategy across Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey</li></ul><p>This conversation goes beyond the immediate military campaign.

It may begin at the edges.</p><p>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.</p><p><b>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.</b> 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.</p><p><b>In this episode, we discuss:</b></p><ul><li>Why even a prominent voice on the Israeli left sees the war against Iran’s regime as justified</li><li>What the Kurds in Iran can realistically do — and why backing them is essential if the regime somehow survives </li><li>Why Israel may need a coherent long-term Kurdish strategy across Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey</li></ul><p>This 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.

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.<br/><br/>🎯 Key moment:<br/>“The arc of Jew hatred bends into a horseshoe.”<br/><br/><br/></p><strong><a href='https://jewishpb.org/fed/' class='no-underline' target='_blank'>mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issues</a></strong><br><p>mosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...<br><p>Listen on: <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1631734201' target='_blank'>Apple Podcasts</a> &nbsp; <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/6lyJcj7NEDeodWn4fECYt6' target='_blank'>Spotify</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/eylontherecord">Support the show</a></p><p>ABOUT THE SHOW<br/>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.</p><p>Stay up to date at:<br/>X: <a href='https://x.com/eylontherecord'>https://x.com/eylontherecord</a><br/>Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/eylontherecord'>https://instagram.com/eylontherecord</a><br/><br/></p><p>Support on <a href='https://patreon.com/eylonalevy'>Patreon</a> for only $10 a month<br/><br/></p>]]></content:encoded>

It’s fought tunnel by tunnel—and headline by headline.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>In this episode, we discuss:<br/>• How the IDF adapted under fire: tunnel operations, command integration, and rapid learning loops<br/>• The surprising battlefield edge: data-driven medicine and forward deployment that saved hundreds of lives<br/>• Why “civilian harm” became a strategic weapon—and what that means for future Western wars<br/>• The enemy’s playbook: how Hamas “deletes itself” from coverage, goes underground, and builds a media ecosystem before the first shot<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>🎯 Key moment:<br/>“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.”<br/><br/>ABOUT THE SHOW<br/>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.<br/><br/>🎙 Filmed at M10 Studios, Tel Aviv ➡️ https://m10.co.il/<br/><br/>Follow on social media:<br/>Twitter: x.com/eylontherecord<br/>Instagram: instagram.com/eylontherecord<br/><br/>Read Andrew&apos;s report &quot;TACTICAL LESSONS FROM GAZA&quot;: https://henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/tactical-lessons-from-gaza/</p><strong><a href='https://jewishpb.org/fed/' class='no-underline' target='_blank'>mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issues</a></strong><br><p>mosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring...<br><p>Listen on: <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1631734201' target='_blank'>Apple Podcasts</a> &nbsp; <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/6lyJcj7NEDeodWn4fECYt6' target='_blank'>Spotify</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/eylontherecord">Support the show</a></p><p>ABOUT THE SHOW<br/>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.</p><p>Stay up to date at:<br/>X: <a href='https://x.com/eylontherecord'>https://x.com/eylontherecord</a><br/>Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/eylontherecord'>https://instagram.com/eylontherecord</a><br/><br/></p><p>Support on <a href='https://patreon.com/eylonalevy'>Patreon</a> for only $10 a month<br/><br/></p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2306294/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Peter Berkowitz, former Director of Policy Planning at the US Department of State, offers a candid, insider’s view of how U.S. foreign policy is shaped and often hindered by entrenched bureaucratic dynamics. In this interview, filmed at the Hudson institute in Washington D.C., Eylon Levy and Berkowitz reflect on the global implications of the October 7th Hamas attack and critiques the failure of Western diplomacy to adequately respond to the Iranian-backed threat.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2306294/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Peter Berkowitz, former Director of Policy Planning at the US Department of State, offers a candid, insider’s view of how U.S. foreign policy is shaped and often hindered by entrenched bureaucratic dynamics. In this interview, filmed at the Hudson institute in Washington D.C., Eylon Levy and Berkowitz reflect on the global implications of the October 7th Hamas attack and critiques the failure of Western diplomacy to adequately respond to the Iranian-backed threat. He discusses the ideological divides within the State Department, the persistence of flawed policies like the two-state solution, and the limitations of diplomatic engagement with Iran. Berkowitz also highlights the West’s dangerous complacency regarding Iran’s influence in the Middle East and how U.S. foreign policy could be reoriented to more effectively support Israel and deter regional adversaries.
