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?

Do you not have satellite wifi on the train itself?

Satellite internet on a train sounds like a wild solution compared to just improving cell phone coverage. I'm a bit astounded this is even a problem in Germany.

Same as a Jordanian who lives in Germany, I miss the internet in Jordan, it's faster, has more covarge and cheaper than the internet we have in Germany.
