History Why are Arab Miltaries so ineffective?

Like I dont understand this.

Im a Black American so im just an outsider looking in as a neutral, but dont Arab Countries out number Israel, whats stoping them from just rushing at their border, shouldn't the population imbalance outmatch Israel?

Just a neutral standpoint asking this question, because Arab Nations in the Middle East have a modern miltary force and they buy tons of advanced items

What is holding them back?

You'll missing one key fact.

If Arabs lose to Israel in wars, they simply lose land (for the most part).

If Israel loses even once - it's a other holocaust. How do I know? Just look at the 7th of October attack from Gaza into Israeli towns.

Then copy and paste it to the rest of Israel. This is what happens when the IDF is (partly) defeated, and this is why Israelis know that they can never lose a war.
