The rest is said at the risk of victim blaming and I feel a bit ranty about some of the following because the victims are suffering so much, but I think that the Palestinians might bring something to the table that allows the situation to continue.
You are victim blaming, in my opinion.
I recently started thinking that the only thing, really, that the Palestinians bring to the table that perpetuates the situation is their sheer existence. Were the Palestinians to all wake up tomorrow and realize the wrongness of Islam and embrace the C's cosmology, it wouldn't change a thing.
We can infer this from the way the Israelis have for a long time fabricated lies, terrorists, bombings, deaths and so on with no basis in reality on numerous occasions. Think White Helmets, October 7th, and the various "lone bomber" dupes over the years.
It might be harder to do were the Palestinians to suddenly become non-violent. However, it wouldn't stop the Israelis from continuing to cleanse the land of its current inhabitants.
As we know from the situations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine, truth is but an inconvenience that is easily dealt with when certain objectives are sought after. With enough powerful players going along with it, even the most egregious lies are given the weight of truth.
Kurt Gödel in his outline of his philisophical world view:

With that in mind, maybe the predatory class have learned that countries that have a high concentration of any particular religion are basically going to be pushovers, something that would make a predator smile, no doubt. Not only can they gain access to all the riches of that country, but they can do it by creating the maximum amount of suffering as loosh for their 4DSTs overlords without expecting too much by way of resistance.
This section wasn't clear to me but I think all the above could be summed up as:
"Palestine is overwhelmingly Islamic and I think that religiosity is being used against them."
If anything about this idea of religious concentration in a population is correct, cost of giving primacy to religious ideology over truth
If it's possible to put some of the blame for the situation on the Palestinians, it's likely to be because of their acceptance of certain militant aspects of Islam.
The extent to which they bear the blame and even the extent to which it can be attributed to Islam is by no means a clear cut issue, though. After all, retributive justice is an instinctual drive of human nature, and while many religious teachings, Islamic included, seek to temper this violent reaction, such sources of tempered resistance was co-opted long ago by those who wish to see exclusively violent reactions.
What's more, it's a hallmark of religious thinking of all kinds to bestow honor upon the glorious dead. Either those who fought for a righteous cause or those who were killed cruelly and senselessly.
The violence and martyrdom then isn't entirely Islamic in nature. Therefore, in my opinion, it wouldn't be a fair assessment to say that believing Islamic lies has lead either to them or to the situation.
jeez, they have watched their kids, families, homes and livelihoods being bombed, shot up and shredded for 75 years! Under these circumstances they refer to their dead as martyrs because they held onto their dodgy religious ideologies instead of learning to question them and their own minds until the end, fer cryin out loud! If that's not an acceptance of torture and a total resistance to learning what the hell to do differently to avoid it, I dunno what is.
It seems to me that what you're trying to say here is that the decision to not change their religious belief despite their suffering is a choice against their own soul.
However, I think the Palestinian people could be said to have taken the mark of the beast, accepted torture, and gone against their own soul if and only if they think there's no line they can't cross, no cruelty which is unjustified, and no retributive act against the Israelis which is unconscionable.
Yet, this doesn't seem to be the case for many Hamas fighters if some of what the released Israeli prisoners have to say is correct. Many, if not most, were treated with dignity and one even got to celebrate their birthday, if memory serves.
Moreover, its not uncommon for those who're persecuted or tortured to seek or utilize a religious framework to give meaning to their suffering. Religion, in such a context, is hardly a sin against the soul.
But for them their whole country is basically their monastery and they are surrounded by it no matter what they do and where they go. How much do they have to suffer until they do learn the simple and karmic?
Knowing the extent of the lies contained within the religion of one's upbringing can hardly be said to be simple and karmic.
The knowledge that protects? When do they reach the level of suffering where they experience the transmarginal inhibition that undoes their religious conditioning? How do parents stand watching their kids shot and blown up without deciding to do what they have to get the hell out?
I think you're missing the point that the Palestinians aren't asking for this. Nor can they exactly "
get the hell out".
The borders are closed. There is no escape.
I don't know how many Palestinians would say, 'I want no part in this game, how do I get out?' instead of turning into terrorists themselves to seek revenge and becoming the monster that they fight. Maybe there are a few and perhaps it would be good to include them in prayer.
Not everyone who's in the Gaza strip is a terrorist, though. Most are peaceful people.
But let's say for argument's sake that literally all of them wanted to see Israel bombed to the Stone Age and were willing to strap bombs on themselves to do it, they wouldn't necessarily be in the wrong or sinning against their souls in that desire. So long as the desire came from a place of wanting the terror against them to stop and the desire to teach these people a lesson didn't extend into the torturous raping and destruction of the Jews.
Even then, much can be forgiven.
Ultimately, perhaps the situation in Palestine could only happen because Palestinians are Palestinians. Maybe overall they are more like gardeners in a war, instead of warriors in a garden like the Russians and Chinese who also have lower concentrations of any one religion in their countries. In this respect, and keeping the power of programs in mind, perhaps the Palestinians can't learn anything from the situation in the way that knowledge can protect them and their children. That is probably the most painful realisation when witnessing the atrocities, that the Palestinians are perhaps unlikely to be able to do or be anything different.
I think it's the other way around. The situation in Israel is because the Israelis are Israelis.
The only way any enjoyment could come out of that situation is if the Palestinians did learn something and could resolve the situation.
There's no way for the Palestinians to resolve the situation and while it may have been an innocent notion at first to see if it took two to tango in this situation the hard fact is that there was never any chance the Palestinians were ever going to avoid this fate.
They were doomed from the creation of Israel. Not because of their choice to remain devout Muslims, but because of the nature of the Zionists who wanted their land.
