Hamas is the ultimate poster child for FAFO. My experience working abroad is that groups like Hamas only understand one thing, the hammer. They started this with the full understanding of what Israel would do. That being said, they also knew they would find millions of people who would completely forget Hamas' atrocities and side with them once their well oiled propaganda wing swung into action. Once Hamas propaganda takes hold in your mind, you won't fight your way towards what is right, you will fall into lock step with those others who are infected and overpowered through constant one sided reporting and short memories. FAFO is how the world keeps from falling into a constant state of war and chaos. Germany found out, as did Japan, Iran, Iraq, and a host of others. That's the short version. This is not an easy topic to tackle in short order. The blather from terrorist sympathizers is all very predictable, "what about the children, the bombed schools and hospitals?" etc etc. Children are nothing more than propaganda tools for Hamas and their immediate supporters in that region. Leveled schools, hospitals, and mosques? Don't store arms there, don't shoot missiles at Israeli civilians from hospitals and schools. Don't post snipers in minarets. Simple.
