Does anyone in the Middle East even understand the reasons for the continuous conflicts as the reasons were understood when the conflicts all started? Is it possible that everything began when two ancient shepherds were playing tricks on each other?

Does any Westerner realize that they will never understand the reasons for the constant conflicts in the Middle East?
For millennia, the Middle East was a backwater of the world, with little or no progress, ruled by tribalism to this day and flavored with the tenets of Islam from the 7th century, while most of the world has moved on to the 21st.
IMO, the main mistake is that Westerners don’t believe that Middle Easterners are a different culture than theirs and act from ignorance time and again.
