Here is an idea how about we help them make their land a place worth living no matter their religion or political beliefs? I mean if you want to get people who hate you to stop hating you why not stop killing them and start helping them? People tend to respect those that help their families and don't kill them. I mean it's worth a shot right? We can literally give people the tools to empower themselves. Where is the leadership in the world?

Odd that. People like you more when you don't kill them or steal their stuff.
it's very odd indeed.
what ? Be Human ?
we can create the world we wanna.
The leadership, including the leaders of the areas you just listed, are not interested in that stuff.
in the Crusades, the church launched atacks - for God - against Jerusalem
today, Islam promises 72 virgins for martyrs
in two years, the Syrian civil war cost 70,000 lives
Arab/Moslem violence against Arab/Moslems cost 11,000,000 lives in the last 65 years
Here is my answer:
why dont the ultra-rich oil states donate some of their billions to build PEACEFUL prosperous societies. Saudi Arabia spends a fortune teaching millions of Arabs about the Quran - but not how to build & manufacture & grow in peace
Progress not drones.
So you are against greening the desert? You want to force despots to do the right thing? Try giving their people what they need. See who is loved.
Israel did a fabulous job greening - with much American help
Why cant the Arab oil zillionaires do the same for their brothers in Syria, Gaza, Egypt?
israel still has not undertaken a truly ambitious plan yet but i believe they will someday.
