"Peace" deal a war pact against Israel

Washington Times:

Officials from Hamas and Israel dashed hopes yesterday that a Palestinian unity deal reached in the Saudi holy city of Mecca would end a crippling economic embargo or lead to a resumption of Palestinian-Israeli peace talks.
"Our battle with the Israeli enemy is still on," Fathi Hamad, a Hamas leader in Gaza's Jebaliya refugee camp, told thousands of supporters.
He urged militant groups to resume attacks on Israel and denied that Hamas would respect past peace deals with the Jewish state -- a central element of the accord between Hamas and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas brokered by Saudi diplomats Thursday.
"We will be the spearhead of jihad ... to defend Palestine and Arab and Muslim nations," Mr. Hamad said, according to an Associated Press dispatch from Gaza.
Israel stopped short of a formal response, but Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told a security conference in Munich that Hamas remained dedicated to Israel's destruction.
"Hamas is not using terrorism to build a peaceful Palestinian state but to destroy the other, to destroy Israel. ... We cannot afford a terror state," Mrs. Livni said.
In Israel, a top lawmaker in the ruling Kadima party said the accord falls short of conditions set by the international community to lift an economic embargo against the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority.
"Abbas failed yesterday. He gave the Hamas a big victory," said Tzachi Hanegbi, chairman of the parliament's Defense and Foreign Relations Committee. "Regarding whether this helps the peace process, I'd say it's a step backwards."
Israel, the United States, Europe and other would-be Mideast peace brokers have demanded the Palestinian Authority recognize Israel and honor previous agreements between the two sides.
...
The pact is a truce between the two factions so they can continue their war against Israel. They tried to give it a veneer that would allow them to begin collecting funds from the US and Europe again, but we would be fools to fall for this fraud. The diplomats need to be brutally frank with the Palestinians that what they have agreed to is not going to get them money or a state.

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.
