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?

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.
