> hey are, in my loosely held opinion, slightly closer to their actual revisionist objective, which is the annihilation of Israel

Agree. But we're closer to a two-state solution than the destruction of Israel.

> Gen Z and Gen Alpha's political influence in the US removing the diplomatic shield at the UN opening the way for sanctions

You're describing a political turning point decades away. And it doesn't lead to the destruction of Israel, just weakening its occupation. Also, Israel is a rich and vibrant economy. It wouldn't take that much for it to pivot to another security guarantor if the U.S. ditches it in 30+ years (when the relevant generations will be at the peak of their power).

> Hamas is defeated. Gaza is then rebuilt.

If Hamas is defeated fast, maybe. But again, Gaza would be rebuilt under occupation. And Israel wouldn't have been destroyed. Hamas--and the Palestinians' bargaining position--is weaker today than it was in September. Israel is, too. But not in as permanent a way as Gaza (and Hamas) are being dealt.
