It is possible that there could be a political realignment out of ethnic Palestinian/Jewish lines in a post-Israeli Levantine. The nature of the current settler-colonial project creates a certain uniformity of allegiance within the Jewish population there, but there are tensions simmering under surface. There’s obviously the bias against non-white jews by the European jews there, and the secular jews have a lot of animosity towards the ultra orthodox jews. So I could see a more cosmopolitan/urban vs rural/traditional dynamic emerge, probably with some class elements as well, that doesn’t break down neatly on ethnic lines.
I don’t think I know enough to dive into the subdivisions of Israeli society in useful enough depth to answer you. I think you’re onto something about the Jewish population being so fractious that it could split apart at any time, but they’re largely held together by one thing: settler-colonialism. If they lose, does that unifying impulse weaken or strengthen? I could see it going either way.
