The same case can be made about the Israelis...without the Arab threat, they also, would be at each other's throats

Their politics is fractious enough, but the threat of losing an election hardly rates with the threat of being shot in a coup. Having a functioning democracy does make a difference.

More importanly, without the Arab threat, Israel would not receive nearly as much support (military, financial, political) from the diaspora. The siege mentality is a tool to quell the left-wingers and the anti-Zionists.
