Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge on this area. I don't think I realized the subtle differences between the two group of Jewish settlers in modern Israel. I still see them both as "settlers", but one group is more "Western/European" and one is made up of settlers from other parts of the Arab world.
"... under the maximalist Mizrahi ideology that Netanyahu has so cynically embraced, the genocide will continue; the atrocities will continue; the outrageous flouting of all international laws and norms will continue."
I certainly hope not, but you do paint a rather bleak picture here. If the US and other Western/NATO powers had never allowed Israel to gain so many weapons and encouraged them to use them on their neighbors (such as in the 1967 War), perhaps Israel would have been more agreeable to follow the UN protocols set up in 1948. But they feel they're above all cooperation with other nations and they are "ubermensch" or superior to all others who live in "their" land and perhaps the rest of the world. Trouble in the making!
