    Far less inter-secular conflicts there before the WW1 promise of not dividing the region up amongst European empires was broken.

      Less conflict? Maybe, far less? No, the region was always bloody. There was smaller population. I didn’t read any statistics that were normalized by population size.

      The comment was about the claim that Israel is THE source of instability in the region. Which is false.
