125. Removing Israel destabilizes the region

The Israel conflicts seems major with all the media attention and deaths occuring. However when looking at the Middle East as a whole it's relatively minor. Arab countries were always at war with each other, or within themselves from coups, revolutions, and civil wars.

Many of those countries have a tenuous hold on power where they can be overthrown at anytime. Egypt is a prime example when the Muslim Brotherhood tookover. Egypt was barely able to regain power. That's one of the reasons why Egypt doesn't take in Palestinians refugees, who are allied with the Muslim Brotherhood, as it would tip the balance and allow the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas to takeover again.

Israel is the superpower of the Middle East with Iran trying to be second. Muslim countries got their ass beat in the past and know they can't win a war against Israel. They also know Israel won't invade them unless provoked. Those former enemies are making peace with Israel and starting to form a coalition against Iran and it's allies.

If Israel leaves, those nations just go back to fighting each other. Some of them say they are against Israel, but that's to appease their people.
