Actually it would make things worse for the arabs as it removes their claim to victimhood and eliminates a convenient scapegoat to blame all their misfortune on.

I would propose removing Israel would not improve anything in the middle east....

Well it would obviously improve the situation for the 6 million Palestinians. It would also remove a major reason for poor relations between the US and other ME nations. And it would allow the present day Israelis and their descendants (assuming the relocate to the US) to live in peace. Those three are something.

Keeping Israel as it is just results in another 60 years of warfare, and by then most of us on the thread are dead so won't see what comes after....
