Nice article from Israel Hayom:
"...In addition, we Arabs have given our dictators carte blanche to impoverish, terrorize, oppress and destroy us all in the name of "the great Arab struggle to end the Zionist entity." The outcome of this has been clear: While Israel made 10 new breakthroughs in cancer and cardiac treatments in the last two years alone, we Arabs developed new execution methods. The latest is death by drowning in a cage, as shown in an Islamic State group video two weeks ago.
"...We Arabs have wasted seven decades of our existence awaiting Israel's demise. It is time to think of the future, and whether Israel's "disappearance" should be our ultimate wish.
"If these Israel-haters got their wish to see Israel disappear, what would happen?
First, Israel is the only reason Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons. Iran could buy the technology to produce them, or could learn it quickly the way Pakistan did. Why has Iran been slow in doing so? Because it learned a lesson from the experience of Saddam's Osirak reactor, which Israeli jets reduced to rubble in 1981.
Iran is not the only evil power in the Middle East: We also have Islamic State, which has now spread across Iraq, Syria, Sinai and Libya, with clear ambitions to enter Jordan. Islamic State has not entered Jordan yet, and this is not because of any fear of the Jordanian army. After all, the Global Firepower website ranks Jordan's army at the same level as the Iraqi army, which Islamic State has defeated many times. Islamic State does not dare enter Jordan for one reason only -- its fear that Israeli jets would catch up with it 15 minutes later.
If Israel were to disappear and be replaced by a Palestinian state, the Palestinians would most likely end up with another Arab dictatorship that oppresses them and reduces them to poverty. We have partially seen that with the Palestinian Authority and the "liberated" areas it rules. I regularly visit the West Bank and have interviewed scores of Palestinians there. I can confirm that, as much as they hate Israel, they still openly yearn for the days when it administered the West Bank. As one Palestinian told me, "We prayed to God to give us mercy and rid us of Israel; later, we found out that God had given us mercy when Israel was here."
Amen.

"It is
not only Arabs who want Israel gone. There are others who seek the same,
for example anti-Semites in the West. Just last week, neo-Nazis
marched in London with swastikas and the Palestinian flag. The organizer
of the march claimed it was a protest "by all of those who have
suffered because of Israel." There are groups calling for a boycott of
Israel "for the sake of the Palestinian people." There are countries
whose entire foreign policy seems to revolve around opposition to
Israel. We Palestinians might have believed that these groups and
countries actually care about us, but they take no interest in the fate
of the 150,000 Palestinians being starved to death in Syria's Yarmouk
refugee camp, nor in an estimated 5.8 million Palestinians in Jordan
(as indicated by a U.S. Embassy cable) who live as second-class
citizens and are banned from government jobs and any form of state
benefits while paying full taxes."

Further,
Iran already controls at least a third of Iraq and its resources
through a pro-Iranian regime. If Israel were to disappear, Iran would
extend its influence into Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain the next day, as
it would not have to fear an Israeli reaction. Iran could then bring the
world to its knees by reducing oil production.
