    this presents a hope that Israelis and their children would become malleable, in the event of the collapse of the state of Israel, to the establishment of a binational unitary state of Palestine

    Is that what happened during Reconstruction?

      No, because the analogy to that would be a slave revolt winning against the south

      What happened historically can be likened to either Netanyahu getting couped by liberal Zionists or Jordan annexing all of Occupied Palestine but remaining a Hashemite comprador nation

        If Israel collapsed, my money would be on a neighboring US ally's military - Egypt, Jordan, Turkyie, or SA - taking over.

        Not a slave revolution, but a replacement of Ashkanazi/Sephardic Israeli nationalists with a neoliberal-ish protectorate, while locals continue to feud in the Balkin States model.

        I don't think there's anything seriously resembling Liberal Zionism anymore. But that other one seems possible.
