What the arabs and other Muslims have failed to realize is that ever since the Six-Day War, they have lost their chance to destroy Israel. The only way this could happen now would be with a WMD attack of sufficient magnitude to wipe out a fair percentage of Israelis and the IDF.

What an apocalyptic success that would be. The Palestineans would suffer horribly (from their very close proximity), as would Lebanon and Jordan. This is before the Israelis used their 50 to 100 nuclear weapons on the arabs in a last gasp retaliation. By my count, that would take care of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq (assuming it was independent again), western Iran (where most of the population lives) and parts of Saudi Arabia (including, no doubt, Mecca and Medina).

So, if you are willing to pay the price, go ahead and dream. What the Muslims continually forget is that Israel has for the most part fought a civilised conflict with its Arab neighbors. For example, it could have driven all the Palestineans into neighboring countries and just annexed Gaza/West Bank outright decades ago. You don't want the kid gloves to come off.
