The war against Islamic Jihadism is defining generations. It was our father’s war, it’s our war, and will most likely be our children’s war. The FDD' s Long War Journal team has been researching and reporting for over two decades on the jihadists fueling this terror. “Generation Jihad” features LWJ Editors Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss as they diagnose the black and white motivations behind the worl... more

A precision strike in southern Beirut wiped out Haitham al-Tabataba’i, Hezbollah’s chief of staff, longtime military leader, and architect of its elite Radwan force. He was also the man overseeing Hezbollah’s post-ceasefire rearmament.

Ceasefire on paper. Chaos on the ground. Trump’s 20-point plan promises “peace” in Gaza — but Hamas is already violating the ceasefire, gaming hostage returns, killing rivals, and rearming in tunnels.

  • This should be required listening

    This podcast is part of the solution needed as a requirement in all high schools and universities. The problem that needs to be solved is the indoctrination of teachers and college professors subject to Qatar’s decade long soft power influence campaign.

    Update Jan. 2025. In the episode entitled Domestic Terrorism there is a suggestion that “stable family men don’t commit suicide attacks.” This is a similar claim Sam Harris often points to as fundamentally flawed. As he says, people in the west r... more

  • Please improve your tone

    I’m giving this 3 stars because I support the Long War Journal and think everyone involved here does important work. But gentlemen, the tone has gotten absolutely unbearable. They guy who said “ever heard of Google” in the most recent episode is a child. You’re not funny and no one is listening to this to hear your jokes. Why can’t you just be professional and soberly address issues like an adult?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Don't Call it a Peace Deal
Q: What is required for the peace plan to succeed?
Military action from Israel is necessary to disarm Hamas, as they are unlikely to do so willingly.
Don't Call it a Peace Deal
Q: What are the odds of Hamas actually agreeing to disarm?
The odds are approaching zero, as Hamas would view disarmament as a death sentence and a loss of power.
Hezbollahi: Gotta Catch ‘Em All
Q: How would a resumption of war with Hezbollah be received in Israel?
The Israelis are generally not eager for another war with Hezbollah, especially given the recent history and recovery efforts in Northern Israel.
Hezbollahi: Gotta Catch ‘Em All
Q: Is this strike that killed Tabatabai, is Israel signaling that they're taking off the gloves here, that they're going to go after Hezbollah's leadership?
Yes, the strike indicates a shift towards being more aggressive against Hezbollah's leadership.
Wheel of Jihad
Q: Will the Pakistani state eventually turn on the Afghan Taliban?
No, unless there is a severe threat level comparable to the peak insurgency in the 2010s, as the Pakistani state is strategic in its approach and does not want to jeopardize its position with India.
