It won't. Destroying Israel might. Do you think the Muslim extremists are going to suddenly be happy and lay down their weapons just because they help Aussie get rid of the Jews? 
You cannot stop terrorism by ceding one demand at a time to the terrorists. The only thing stopping the terrorists running rampant and spreading in every direction from the middle east and north africa is the regular reminder that they face certain death. A reminder provided by Israel, by the combined global effort to destroy ISIS, and by the death of Osama Bin Laden. A failure on any of those 3 would have been the biggest propaganda coup and flashpoint for every Muslim extremist in the world since Muhammad raped and pillaged his way across the middle east. 
 FD,
I have nothing against the Jews.
I am just concerned that a small population of only 7 million people in Israel
is placing the future of the whole world of 8 billion people in jeopardy.
We are not playing for small change here.
7 million people don't out vote 8 billion people.
We all want to live in peace - not have a nuclear gun pointed at our heads.
For 80 years now, mankind has been at the point of total destruction
due to possessing nuclear weapons.
The one dropped on Hiroshima was tiny - only 12 kilotons -
but it destroyed an entire city.
It is likely that Israel has nukes in the mega ton range -
it could have 100s of them.
