Why is it that all their neighbors are complete rogue states at best? And I am asking this from a historical perspective. Before Israel came to the region in the 1950’s these were not advanced nations, but these were still decent places where you could settle and raise a family. And that includes places like Afghanistan. In the 60’s The Hippies loved to travel to all those places. So what happened? Is it religion? That religion exists since the 6th century. So it’s not religion. What happened there?
Religion. Specifically ethno-religious nationalism. The arab-israeli war played out from 69-76. The syrian army invades lebanon in the 70's. The taliban came to power late...in 94.. It's completely ludicrous to zero out the impact of the competing abrahamic religions in this. Each of these conflicts were explicitly predicated on it from every abrahamic side.
You appear to believe that they're not doing their own religions right - but that's a quirk of your own religion and not indicative of their correctness or lack of religious motivations.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
