Something unusual I'm seeing in responses to the ceasefire deal

Firstly, just to be transparent; I'm an American and have no direct interest in the conflict other than the fact that I 100% fully support Israel's right to complete and total self-defense against terror. As a humanitarian though I do recognize that we need to give the Palestinians an off-ramp from this war.

My concern is though that I don't think they'll ever take it. Let me explain why ...

I noticed something today in several political subs that reminded me of a conversation I had many years ago in college (late 90's) where I had an Egyptian professor who told me that the entire problem in the Middle East would only be solved once the Palestinians got over their obsession with "celebrating non-victories".

Just to explain this further he gave me several examples going back over many decades where every minor concession or acknowledgement that Israel or anyone in the world makes to Palestinian's is interpreted and celebrated as a major victory by them. He felt explained this was due to a long standing inter-generational trauma due to the multiple invasion's from the Achaemenid empire onwards where they'd be crushed repeatedly and have to rebuild. The celebrate being crushed is sort of a trauma response. Unlike other peoples (e.g. Germans and Japanese) who learn from their mistakes, Palestinians have a faulty feedback mechanism due to this and think they're mistakes are working in their favor.

It reminds me of the Bruce Lee saying; "The pain will leave you, when its done teaching you". The only thing is that unlike others, the Palestinians never really learn.

I remember thinking a little about this in 2005 when I saw the movie Don't Mess with the Zohan where the terrorist guy and his crew celebrate victory for securing "one peepee touch" from That Phantom! It really reminded me about this tendency.

And now today I'm seeing it in several of the pro-Palestinian's subs in that some of these folks feel that the ceasefire is a monumental victory for Hamas and Israel has been bought down to its knees. Despite the fact that your country is destroyed, you've lost all credibility, 50K of your people (mainly terrorists) are dead, the entire leadership of Hamas is dead as well as Hezoballh. But, hey ho, its a victory!

How bizarre, I'm almost starting to think that my Egyptian professor was onto something.
