Do you really believe that arab states want israel wiped off the map today?

Yes. Just listen to the discourse in Arabic.

If so, why?

The reason is religiously grounded - land that was once Muslim and Arab must never become non-Muslim and non-Arab, it is contrary to the will of Allah. This reason has only gotten stronger with the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.

And if so, havent they realized that dream of theirs is not possible so settle for plan B.

It doesn't matter if it's possible or not, don't you see? As a dream it is already one of the pillars upholding their regimes. They need the Great Palestinian Cause to keep their people's attention fixed outside of the mismanagment of their own country. It is the all-purpose scapegoat and excuse. We can't do any better, we are oppressed by the evil US that is controlled by the Joooooos, that's why we couldn't destroy Israel...
