This kind of reminds me of the IRA and the "Real" IRA at the time the Irish Troubles were coming to an end and negotiations were taking place. The IRA wanted dialogue and cease-fire, and the "Real" IRA were doing their damnedest to sabotage the process.

I am hoping that, in many respects, this is a good sign. As long as Israel hold their nerve and don't retaliate in an over-egged way.

The cycle of violence has to be broken. History tells us that no amount of "an eye for an eye" or displays of force will ever do that.

Sean: Yes you are right overall, except we don't know at this stage the unprovoked-ness or otherwise of the jihad rockets. The fact that the West Bank is not included in the cease-fire agreement is bizarre to say the least. I think I need to see a much bigger picture before I pronounce on it.
