Palestinians shoot down Israeli F-16 fighter jet in Gaza.

Run_to_da_hills

Not sure how accurate this news is, if its true we will hear it from other sources, I would certainly not want to be to be about in Gaza.

Palestinian fighters have downed an Israeli warplane flying over the Gaza Strip as retaliatory rocket attacks from the enclave continue to sound alarms across Israel.

According to Hamas sources, the Israeli F-16 fighter jet was shot down on Friday.

What Hamas wouldn't do to have that wreckage if true.

I'm sure the Palestinians have a few tricks up their sleeves besides the Qassam's so it could well be true.

It doesn't seem to be. All footage so far was taken in libya.

Evidence?

2 Israeli pilots captured by Palestinians.

Palestinian sources say they have captured two Israeli pilots amid escalation of violence against the Gaza Strip.

When will the Palestinians ever learn ? There will never be an outright winner in this situation. Their future is with a negotiated settlement with Israel in which both parties agree concessions. The Palestine cause has been used by the dictators around the Middle East to distract their people from their own tyrannies.

If the Isrealis stopped bulldozing down Palestinian homes and allowed them to live normal lives in Gaza and the West Bank perhaps Hamas might not feel compelled to fire rockets into Isreal? I see Isreal as the aggressors in a problem created by Britain and the United States of Assholes.. If these two were to condemn all Isreali aggression there may be some chance of stopping what looks like escalating into a real war involving muslim brotherhood run nations.

I sincerely doubt that an organisation which has called for the removal of all Jews would take peace with simply a stop to the violence.

Especially since the violence is their main reason for existence.

Since this seems to be the thread for it, those madcap Iranians are claiming that the King of Qatar is an Israeli spy http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/11/17/272801/qatar-emir-located-hamas-cmdrs/
