The problem is that when you kill a few terrorists, then follow the
advice of people who tell you to *not* kill terrorists, you just give
them a chance to train up a bit and plan their next run. The trick is
to keep going after the real bad guys, and not try to follow a "roadmap"
that the bad guys have bragged about not following.

Aha, I see.

But, isn't it then actually very surprising to see they never get those you
call "the real bad guys"?

They've been killing quite a few of the head guys in Hamas, which pretty
much negates your sentence above. The funny thing about large terror
organizations is that the guys in charge don't like dying all that much,
while being very supportive of their footsoldiers dying for the cause.

Aggressively going after the training camps and organizers of groups
like Hamas *works*, as opposed to trying to negotiate with a bunch of
people who have sworn to kill all of the Jews.

Could it be there is a mistake somewhere in that "roadmap"?

Yes, the mistake is in thinking that Hamas and other terrorist groups
would ever follow it. They have bragged repeatedly that they will not.

Now, I do not say I know "everything", far from this: I'd say I know barely
enough for general orientation. But, it is obvious that you don't have a
slightest clue about what I know nor what is my actual standpoint.

I can only judge by what you say here, and you're saying things that
indicate that you think the Israelis are wrong in attacking terrorists
in countries that support and train them.
