Eric, > Even today - Israel would go for a cease fire immediately if the rockets stop - what does Gaza have to lose by trying this?

"Is lobbing rockets (no matter effect) considered good form during a cease fire?"

Nope. Like I said, both sides played their part. Hamas did totally cease lobbing rockets for a while. There was one break when some Fatah people got upset over an arrest in the West Bank. And then Israel would do something to provoke and Hamas would fire a rocket to let them know they are paying attention...

"Even today - Israel would go for a cease fire immediately if the rockets stop - what does Gaza have to lose by trying this? "

Because every time they try it, Israel doesn't do their part. It is almost like they want the Palestinians to keep doing what they are doing...

The problem is that everyone is playing a different game that the one they are claiming they are.

BS. If you believe this, I have a freeway to sell you. Israel has a big election coming up in February. It won't stop until Hamas and Gaza are destroyed.

what does Gaza have to lose by trying this?

Everything.
