Anyone who is familiar with Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People can go down the list of all 7 to see how the Palestinian Authority failed at each one and explain how it's their own damn fault.

1. Be proactive.
Take the initiative to respond to your experiences positively and improve the situation within your circle of influence.

PA Grade: F
Only reacts. And always negatively.

2. Begin with the end in mind
Act based on principles and constantly review your mission statements against the goals you set.

PA Grade: F
Policies of rewarding terrorism, and international bullying don't help achieve goals.

3. First things first
Focus on what's important, before they become urgent.

PA Grade: F
After 70 years of dealing with the unimportant and the harmful, the Arab League lost its patience.

4. Think Win-Win
Focus on mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in your relationships.

PA Grade: F--
For the PA it's not a win until the other party loses.

5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood

Use empathetic listening to genuinely understand a person, which compels them to reciprocate the listening.

PA Grade: F-
Forcing us to release 1000 murderers from prison just to negotiate is not empathetic listening.

6. Synergize!
Combine the strengths of people so the sum of the two parts is larger.

PA Grade: F----
PA actually makes a concerted effort to negate all opportunities of synergy.

7. Sharpen the saw
Do things to promote growth, change, and constant improvement

PA Grade: F-
Why would they do that when NGOs and governments give them free money?

Conclusion:
PA's Arab brothers left them? Nobody's fault but Palestinians.
