You are referring to the state of Israel, yes?
Prior to the state of Israel being formed, the people living in the area (Persians, Arabs, Jews, et al), always had absentee landlords. Probably because nobody in their right mind wanted to live in the shithole.
After Israel was formed and the Jews flocked in to make the desert flourish, it was not the locals but outside agitators that started the trouble. The Arabs, after losing a couple of wars, pretty much accepted the status quo, but the Persians continue to cause trouble.
