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?

They always were.

To quote based god:

Americans were never part of the vanguard

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.
