I'd like to see a policy like that as well...it might mean that Israel might have to take a few extra punches...but would be much better off long term.

In order for that to work, you'd have to have faith that the Palestinian side would reciprocated. But when you have a organization who's definition of ceasefire is re arm and reload, why would Israel do that without a huge pre-emptive gesture from the other side.
Neither side has earned or would give the benefit of the doubt.
If Hamas started pulling rockets out of the street and destroying them. Or arrested members of other radical groups that were launching rockets, you'd have a basis to open discussions in Israel's side.
But in Israel's mindset, its a fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you for lack of a better word.
