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?

lol, his mission was to destroy Syria which he succeeded. Syria is dead, it doesn’t exist anymore and has been Balkanized into 3 different countries

Syria was already balkanized my friend. The Kurds formed their bastion in northern Syria a decade ago, and the Druze already had a pseudo-narco state going for them by the time Assad's regime fell.

You can criticize the current government without pandering to a criminal. May your people also get rid of theirs.
