Until total, final, apocalyptic defeat coillectivist authoritarian societies in the grip of a narcissistic death cult don't look in the mirror and change. The Japanese Bushido cult example is instructive: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/palestinian-bushido-postwar-japan-shows-how-to-remake-a-society-mobilized-for-death-41ab6830021b

Dr. Wilf uses John Dower's Embracing Defeat, to show this.

Collective narcissism is like alcoholism or drug addiction. As in the Ray Milland movie The Lost Weekend, the addict doesn't reform before hitting absolute bottom.

You'll know the Palestinians have reached that point when a power vacuum opens and Bassam Eid becomes education minister and Hamza Howidy head of PA security and they claw back Haniyeh's, Meshaal's, widow Arafat's and Abu Marzouk's billions to build secular schools, water systems and turn the terror tunnels into a real metro system for civilians.
