Well, the IDF does have several decades worth of really bad publicity going against it there. NATO has only been in Afghanistan for six years. NATO would need to blitz something equivalent to Gaza several times a decade before you seemlessly replace the two. And you still need a displaced group of people languishing in small cooped up enclaves or external refugees camps for 30-40 years before you could get Jimmy Carter to fly over there and meet with Taliban leaders.
