Britain was once seen as a model of stability, decency, and quiet integration for its Jewish community. Today, many British Jews are asking whether that promise still holds.

In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Dov Forman, New York Times bestselling author of Lily’s Promise, former adviser to Robert Jenrick, and a prominent voice against antisemitism in the UK, about Britain’s worsening antisemitism crisis, the rise of anti-Israel radicalism, and whether Jewish life in the UK is becoming increasingly unsustainable. They discuss Jeremy Corbyn’s legacy, the normalization of anti-Zionist hostility, Iran-backed threats on British soil, the failures of policing and prosecution, and what all this means for Britain, Israel, democracy, and the future of the West.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How antisemitism in Britain moved from the political fringe into mainstream society
 • Why “anti-Zionism” has become a social purity test for British Jews
 • How weekly anti-Israel marches, weak law enforcement, and political cowardice have emboldened extremists
 • Whether Britain can still offer a secure future for its Jewish community, or whether more Jews will look to Israel

This conversation moves beyond headlines about protests and political slogans. The deeper question is whether a democratic society can protect a small minority when ideological extremism, foreign influence, and social intimidation are allowed to grow unchecked. For British Jews, this is not an abstract debate about foreign policy. It is about whether they can walk openly as Jews, speak honestly about Israel, and trust the institutions meant to protect them.

🎯 Key moment:
 “The purity test doesn’t actually exist, because the man who stabbed two Jews didn’t ask them what their stance on Israel was before he attacked them.”
