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.
