I think that considering that for the past 60 years the Arab countries have used the Palestinians as pawns, I think they would have attacked anyway. Think about it. The creation of Israel was blessing from Allah for unpopular Arab governments, it gave them a physical entity that they could blame all of their problems on, thus diverting the populations resentment away from them and towards the Israelis.

Look at Ahmenijad. People are beginning to complain, because for all his rhetoric against Israel and America, he hasn't helped the country domestically at all.

They would have either invaded Israel, or many ME governments would have eventually been toppled or coup-de-etat'd so to speak. If you were the leader of one of these regimes, what would you have done? I would have invaded too.
