I was once staying in a hostel in the Arab district of Old Jerusalem. I started to get along with the owner of the place. He said to me that the continued existence of a sense of superiority, where violence against another group is tolerated or even encouraged, leads to these people developing a certain malign personality type. He claimed, however, that it was not irredeemable. He named the British as an example, where over the years, they have become a pleasant people as soon as they had stopped subjugating other peoples. I think about that interaction sometimes.
