It is true that the very existence of Israel is totally dependent on the unconditional support and sponsorship of the US government as a super power. Additionally, many key Arab countries (such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt) are ruled by regimes which allied themselves with the US for the sole reason of securing their thrones and dictatorships. All it takes is for the US government to suspend its unconditional support to Israel for some reason (very unlikely), or one or more of the US-friendly regimes being overthrown by a more patriotic anti-israeli ones (very likely) and Israel will be in big trouble! Imagine if five or six Arab countries attack Israel at once, or if Saudi Arabia initiates an oil embargo on the US like it did in 1976, or a combination of both, how long can israel last for?

Your premises is false. Israel's existence is not conditioned on US support, neither are the governments of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or Egypt.
Even without US support Israel would be able to defeat its enemies...again. Israel will outlast most of the arab governments in existence today.

Israel will be around for a long time. They planned well, plus as you said, they have the support from key allies. More than likely there would not be countries that join forces to overthrow Israel. This would require a unity among Arab nations and this has not existed for a very long time. Why haven't the wealthy Arab nations joined forces to alleviate poverty in the Muslim lands? If they can't do this, then they would do nothing else.

If all of the Islamic and Muslim factions could only stop fighting and killing one another, they might then realize, once united, that Israel would be in deep sh!t.
Fortunately, they can't even get along with each other in their own countries, how would they ever manage to get together with other neighboring countries and attack Israel?
I suspect Israel will be there long after the Arab countries self destruct.

Dont be paranoid. Israel will exist. Even when Javier Solana unsuccessfully fails at turning it into mush.

Israel will last as long as they (the Israels) have the means and the will to fight their enemies.

As long as God wants them to. They are his chosen people and he made a covenant with their ancestors that they would be so as along as they worshiped him.
