The core concept is that the only way to defeat an idea, is with a better idea. 
This made me think of the “halotzim” (pioneer movement) of Zionism. Their ethos rejected the “diaspora” life>

For a dream of rebuilding a homeland. They dried swamps, built the first ‘Hebrew city’ (tel aviv) and the concepts of Kibbutz. This movement rejected Jewish victimhood even after the Holocaust. The focus was on building a new better future, not revenge. This was the foundation of modern Israel. Palestinians lack>

A new ethos. The driving cultural and educational concept is one of victimhood, resistance, and whatever sacrifice is needed for however long in order to eventually bring Israel down and return to all of the land. More than a military defeat, to beat Hamas they need a new idea- a new vision of what Palestine could be-

A Singapore in the ME? Revival of ancient trading culture? From war to prosperity? 
Until such new ideas permeate, the future will be a repeat of the last 75 years. 
(The new idea doesn’t deny the past, it doesn’t reject it just like Israel kept the memory of the Holocaust, but the conclusion was rebuild rather than revenge.
