The only reason israel is a raree gem in its area is because the US  supports it while simultaneously destroying all of the other middle eastern nations. Just look at what USA has done to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and others. The 'rebels' USA supports are the founders of Daesh. And the rebels that USA still supports are not much better than daesh. In Afghanistan USA created Taliban to fight Russia and now look what happened.

That makes little sense at all. Destroying all the middle eastern nations? You've stated their purpose yourself which is to fight and remove russian influence in the past and certainly they are no enemy of Saudi Arabia despite the huge human right's issues there and the use of Sharia law. I don't think the situation can be quickly summarised in a few lines. 

Islam is not a religion that believes in all people being equal and islamic countries are rarely democratic. They have had a huge number of wars and issues between each other before you start trying to blame the US or Europe for their problems. A religion that doesn't embrace equality and is fractured into multiple types that try to make their chosen path dominent over other sects. I'm not saying I agree with US, UK or European middle east policies but most of the middle east's problems are internal. Remember most muslims killed in war are killed by other muslims and many muslim countries are the worst offenders for the use of torture and a failing and biased legal system where many innocent people are executed. I just feel the actions of muslims themselves are far more questionable than US policy with its occasional excursions.

The region has gotten worse in the 20th and 21st century. If the religion was all bad then we wouldn't have had an age of learning and scientific advances a few centuries after its creation. While Europe was in its dark ages, the middle east was a hub of advancement and opportunity. I agree that sectarianism has ruined Islam and sects themselves are more modern issues since there used to be only one religion at the beginning. Even the women of previous times in islamic areas had more rights then now. It got worse for the middle east and the USA was no help for making it any better. On top of that The Great Game in the middle east is a problem. The problems are not only internal but external as well. Real help would be dismantling daesh and leaving the region but USA supports those damn rebels and russia supports the government and they are playing with people's lives for their own games. A nation is sovereign and has the right to work out its own problems. Let that happen for the middle eastern nations. Right now the major countries including USA and Rssia are not doing that that is why the problem is escalating instead of getting better. The middle east has seen better days and I hope it does again but I also hope than Palestenians finally get some peace and get better as well.
