You're wrongly assuming that, if Israel hadn't existed, the Arab World would've been less susceptible to conflict.
That is simply not true.
Countries in the Arabian Peninsula would've always been more wary of a power based in the Iranian Plateau than a power based in the Levant. Also, they would've always been more concerned with a power based in Mesopotamia/Iraq than with a power based in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
This has more to do with geography and less to do with religion and ethnicity. As a case in point, prior to the fall of Saddam, the Gulf states were more frightened of Iraq than they were of Iran.
Even if Israel hadn't existed, these geopolitical realities would continue to exist.
Likewise, the rivalry between powers based in Syria and Egypt would've continued to exist, with or without Israel. In fact, for many decades, both Egyptian and Syrian nationalists believed that Palestine should be an integral part of their homeland.
The point is, this irrational obsession with Israel has to stop. With or without Israel's existence, rivalries in the Arab World will continue to exist.
Actually i wouldnt call it an irrational obession. You have to understand that the events of the last 15 years in the Middle East have their origin in a group of individuals in Washington who were put in a position to implement their ideas on re shaping the middle east. read up on richard perle. alot of this by in large was done for the sake of israeli security.
Your empty religious discourse is not going to fool anybody or impress anyone. We Arabs know your likes and similar ones perfectly and their agenda. I will not elaborate on that as I risk getting banned although I won't care but I have better things to do. In any case I suggest to worry about something else. You have more things to worry about in any case.
What are you talking about?
