Yahya Sinwar Rests in Pieces

10/17/24 • 50 min

Yahya Sinwar is dead.

He was the leader of Hamas, the architect of the October 7 attack on Israel — the largest massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust.

He has the blood of many Americans on his hands, too, and was designated as a terrorist by the U.S.

For Israel, this is a significant battle won in a long and multi-front war.

What’s next? Host Cliff May discusses with his FDD colleagues Mark Dubowitz, Jonathan Schanzer, and Hussain Abdul-Hussain.

McMaster and Bowman on the Axis of Aggressors and Cold War 2.0

Gen. H.R. McMaster has written a memoir about his action-packed 13 months serving as national security advisor to the 45th president of the United States.

It’s titled “At War With Ourselves,” and it focuses on the widening divisions among Americans — divisions not just between the major political parties but very much within them.

H.R. is an historian as well as a soldier, and his mission, in writing this book was, as he spells out for readers, “to explain what the Trump Administration achieved and failed to achieve in the areas of foreign policy and national security during a pivotal moment in American history.”

Gen. McMaster now chairs FDD’s Center on Military and Political Power where Bradley Bowman is the senior director. They both join host Cliff May to discuss the new book and a range of conflicts, crises, and issues.

Decolonize Lebanon

On Oct. 8, 2023, one day after Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel and carried out the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust, Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon began firing missiles at Israel, and the attacks have continued ever since.
Last month, Israelis defended themselves against Hezbollah in new ways, including by exploding thousands of pagers worn on the belts of Hezbollah members and eliminating longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Soon after, Israeli troops began operating in southern Lebanon and uncovered a Hezbollah plot to invade Israel — all right under the noses of UN employees who claim to be peacekeepers and are bankrolled by U.S. tax dollars.
To discuss Lebanon’s colonization by Tehran, its war with Israel, its storied past, its troubled present, and its uncertain future – host Cliff May is joined by his FDD colleagues Hussain Abdul-Hussain and David Daoud.
