We all know the main thing keeping Israel alive, US support, isn't going to stop (or likely even slow down) no matter who wins in November, so is the only real hope of a "killing blow" from a combination of the above?

    Please refer to them as Ansarallah, "Houthis" is a Western pejorative that attempts to minimize the scope of their movement to just one tribe/family group.

    Yes. Israel is a dead-end fascist society with no hope of reform. All domestic polling indicates its campaign to exterminate Palestine is broadly supported. The only thing which will stop them is intervention.

    They always were.

    To quote based god:

      They weren't always, they have been since sorta recently. The PLO/PLFP would have been way more up our collective alley but like most of the region, right wing Islam was intentionally used to replace left leaning secular resistance to America cause either they'd fight the soviets or cause they're more convenient enemies. It is however a popular front struggle backing Hamas cause they're the guys who can get the goods. The Taliban suck for Afghanistan as well, but they did push back America. Sometimes you're stuck with the allies you've got.

    This has pretty much been the case from the start, barring an Arab Spring scenario. 'Israel' historically does well in a single front and badly in multiple fronts, so as long as they have to fight in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the Red Sea at the same time there's hope.

    Yes. Nothing other than the Axis of Resistance can put an end to this. They could be substantially helped by a civil war within the zionist entity, but that will still have been provoked by Resistance pressure

    US support will slow down towards 2050.

    And not just direct support for Israel, but also the billions being spent to pay off Egypt and Jordan.

    Younger people aren't supportive of Israel and the dependency on oil will lessen year by year, while climate change will wreck the region. Ultimately, oil is what drives US interest in the region.

    So no, I doubt whether Israel as a nation will reach the 100 year mark and it definitely will not surpass the 192 years that the Kingdom of Jerusalem lasted.

    The only way they survive as a nation is through peace with their neighbors and they basically don't have peace with any neighbor, aside from the ones being bribed/threatened by the USA.

    That said, for the current generation of Palestinians, things look really bad. It's nauseating how they are being massacred.

    Was there ever any other hope? Maybe 30 years ago sure but in modern times I can't think of any other scenario that would work for them.

      Probably more likely to get support from Russia. China is so reluctant to involve itself in any kind of military conflict (funny that Western media portrays them as sabre rattling military bullies).
