It's that inevitable cycle of violence in which the abused become the abusers. Breaking it is hard, but I think the young people in Israel were trying as they took to the streets back in 2022-23 as they saw Daddy going for the belt; that is, Bibi and the zealots attempting to sabotage the peacemaking and justice meting of the Israeli court and taking the power/belt into their own hands. Control freaks using religion as a slapjack of enforcement because religion neatly divides the we from the they.
