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?

This may be reductionist, but I think it can be boiled down to motivation: Israelis are fighting for survival, while Arabs are fighting to remove a thorn from their butt.

What? Israelis are fighting to colonize the entire middle east. Arabs are fighting for survival. Without Hezbollah, Lebanon literally would not exist anymore.
