When the Palestinians have been killed off, then the divisions within Jewry within Israel will become more evident to the rest of the world.
The Ashkenazim have been at the heart of all the troubles since 1948, while the 2nd Israel - the Sephardim whose ancestors were expelled from Spain in 1492 and found asylum in the Middle East; the Mizrachi, the original, later Arabized Judeo-Hebraic ethnic stock of the Fertile Crescent and the Exiles from various countries within the ME following upheavals in the 1950's/60's.
Modern day Israel is hardly a homogenous society. Divisions will only run deeper once the Palestinians and Bedouin have been "cleansed" from the land.
"For all its rhetoric, the Zionist elite failed to implement an inclusive model for the Integration of Exiles (mizug galuyot), forcing the ‘backward’ and ‘primitive’ Sephardim into a Eurocentric Procrustean bed instead. In reality, the “spirit of the Levant” inherent in Sephardi Jews troubled European sensibilities.[13] Zionism’s aim as articulated by Max Nordau was to “extend the borders of Europe to the Euphrates . . . [and] sweep Eretz Israel clean from . . . all traces of the Eastern soul”."
