What is happening in middle-east?

As a middle-eastern, there are many concerns about this region, a region in which the promise land is passing its time to the end (?!).
It's always disaster out there. Isreal, Palestine, Lebonan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan are in the headlines everyday because of terror, suicide bombing, refugee attack, nuclear threats and terms that are not good at all. The face we all see in news networks is completely hopless and wild.
What's going on really here? Even, we who live here cannot tell. I do want to write about my own country, it's political structures and the role that country leaders play in the regoin.
