Hamas death cult leader postures on boycott

Ynet:

Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal told the Al-Ahram Egyptian daily on Sunday that Israel and the United States will sustain heavy losses if "the boycott of the Palestinian people" continues.

He added that if a Palestinian unity government is set up and the boycott is not lifted, the Palestinian Authority would collapse. "If they continue in the path of starvation and pressure against the moderate Palestinian forces, they will come out losers and find themselves facing a result opposite the one they had hoped for," he said.


Speaking from Damascus, Mashaal said there are some positive signs regarding the guarantees received for lifting the boycott on the Palestinian Authority, but added that these signs are ‘insufficient.’


According to him, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, senior Hamas officials and Arab elements are conducting intensive talks with the Americans and Europeans to secure these guarantees.

He said the Bush Administration and the international community must respect the Palestinians wishes, particularly in light of the establishment of a unity government in the PA.



Mashaal said Hamas’ demand to condition the formation of such a government on guarantees for lifting the boycott is justified.

...

"Hamas will never recognize Israel, even if a Palestinian state is set up," he said. "Which right do we have to acknowledge the legitimacy of the occupation? It is also forbidden to submit to American and Israeli logic. If any Arab country had occupied land like we do they would have acted like us," he said.

...
He certainly makes a poor cases for lifting the boycott. Why should Israel agree to anything with Hamas if they will not even agree to recognize its existence? Why should the US donate money to an organization that wants to destroy one of its allies. Wouldn't that be more illogical than boycotting them. The fact is that the Palestinian Authority is a beggar entity because they have chosen war against Israel over enterprise that produces revenue and they want Israel's allies to subsidize that war. Beggar's do not get to set the terms underwhich they will receive donations.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
