Violence Pays - The 1936 Arab "Revolt" | Oren Kessler on what the FIRST First Intifada taught the Arabs
Send us Fan MailHamas supporters' favorite equivocation is "History didn't start on Oct 7". While cynical and sinster in its intent, this statement is, of course, technically true. But a closer examination of the full history of the conflict, only further exposes the violent Islamist culture at the root of it.For this discussion we are joined by Oren Kessler, a journalist, political analyst, and author of the acclaimed book Palestine 1936, recently awarded the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. His book explores the much-forgotten Arab Revolt of 1936-1939, a violent uprising against the British Mandate and Jewish immigration that you might even call the real first intifada. What has changed since then? What hasn’t? And how do the dynamics of the Arab war against any Jewish presence in this land, way back in 1936, still reverberate in the Middle East today?In this conversation, we'll discuss Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, the Oslo Accords, the Six Day War of 1967, and the Arab rebellion of 1936-1939 — a pivotal but often overlooked period of violent upheaval against British rule and Jewish immigration.Join us as Eylon Levy and Oren Kessler unravel how the echoes of past conflicts continue to reverberate in the Middle East today. Gain insights into the untold stories and historical truths that shape the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I Could Have Been a Houthi | Luai Ahmed escaped Islamist Yemen to become a pro-Israel peace advocate
Send us Fan MailLuai Ahmed was raised in the most fundamentalist Islamist culture in Yemen, where hatred of Jews, gays, and Kafirs was not only preached, but practiced. When he realized that he himself was gay, he had to plot an escape.In this riveting interview, Ahmed recounts his extraordinary journey from his upbringing in Yemen where he was inches from becoming a Houthi himself, and the ideas beliefs his family and friends still hold, to his new life as an advocate for peace and understanding in Sweden.He describes the shock and fear of meeting a Jew for the first time, the realities of Sweden's refugee camps as Islamists indoctrination mills, the tragedy and perversion of Sweden's support in the Middle East, and much more.He is fierce critic of Europe's simplistic approach to multiculturalism and immigration, with a unique perspective on the challenges of integration, and the dangers of domestic radicalization. He eloquently points out the hypocrisy in Western media and political discourse, where issues like the persecution of Jews in Malmö by immigrants are underreported or ignored due to fears of being labeled racist. Ahmed calls for more balanced and honest discussions about these issues to foster a more inclusive and understanding society, and today he fights alongside Israeli friends for democracy, human rights, and a peaceful future for our region—an activist in the “Builders of the Middle East” movement on social media.Follow Luai Ahmed at:https://www.instagram.com/justluaiAnd The Builders of the Middle East:instagram.com/buildersofmideast/ Support 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 Patreon for only $10 a month

Debating Israel | Internet sensation Destiny on how the conflict takes shape online
Send us Fan MailHamas is waging two wars against Israel. There is a physical war and there is an information war, which is no less important. Because Hamas has been waging a brutal psyops campaign against Israel, spreading lie by lie to poison global public opinion against Israel.

And with misinformation running rampant across the internet, now is more important than ever to nail down the facts. Steven Bonnell II, better known as Destiny, is an online professional gamer turned political commentator. A man who has leveraged his following and passion for research into a career debating politics on the internet.

GIVE ME BACK MY SON | Hostage Father's Urgent Plea
Send us Fan MailIt’s been eight months since the October 7 Massacre, and still the residents of Kibbutz Nir Oz, a mile away from Gaza, have not had time to mourn. This tight-knit community was the hardest hit, with over a quarter of its people massacred or abducted on October 7.Professor. Jonathan Dekel-Chen and his family were residents of Kibbutz Nir-Oz. He wasn’t at home that gruesome weekend. But his son Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, a US-Israeli citizen, was taken hostage as he fought to hold back the terrorist invasion. Jonathan is fighting for his son’s freedom, and that of all remaining hostages. In this brutally frank and open conversation Jonathan doesn’t hold back, demanding of the Israeli government: BRING THEM HOME. While demanding world governments to pressure Hamas to LET THEM GO.This conversation pulls no punches and takes a stark and uncomfortable look at where we stand today as a people. It is painful to listen to and contains graphic descriptions of the atrocities of October 7. But we can’t let the world forget what happened, and we can’t let it forget the hostages rotting in Hamas captivity. You should feel uncomfortable. Because none of us are free, until all of them are free.Support 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 Patreon for only $10 a month
