Territorial disputes in the Middle East have led to conflicts between what two groups?

There are actually several different conflicts that are taking place in the middle east, and certainly more than two groups who are involved. Most conspicuously, there is the conflict between Arabs and Jews over the land of Israel/Palestine. But there is also a very serious conflict between Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims in diverse countries throughout the Middle East (like Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, etc.). There is a civil war in Syria, between supporters of Bashar al Assad and opponents of Bashar al Assad. There is a serious conflict between the Kurds of Iraq and their neighbors, especially Turkey. There are other conflicts as well, I am not going to list all of them.
