I mean there's a good 600-700 years of stuff that was happening from the end of the crusades to the late 1940s

You mean the time when the area was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, which enforced stability on it?

I do agree, if we put the whole area under a single Empire's influence again it would likely be a lot more stable.

I don't think any sort of one state solution that would exist between the two countries would classify as an empire, and "enforced stability" is a funny way to try to make people not killing each other sound bad. Also if you want to talk about enforced, that word seems perfectly applicable to Israel's relationship with Palestine now.
