To follow up my own post, this is what's gone on with the "road map", isn't it?
World: We're giving you A and B, and your job is to upgrade your internal forces and go after militants.
Pals: We like A and B, and we'll try but we just can't promise anything. But we also want C, not on the road map: you release Pal prisoners.
US: We also kinda want D, stop building that wall on the border. We're not really against it but the world wants us to look fair and balanced.
Israel: We are doing A and B and we are also releasing all the prisoners except known bomb-builders. Since you say you can't do your part, we are helping you with the militants by killing some of them.
Pal Militants: In response we are blowing up a bus. *boom* See what Israel made us do?
World: Israel! We hate violence, so stop killing those militants!
