What if Israel had become the kind of state that Kalman Katzenelson advocated in The Ashkenazi Revolution, where Yiddish (not Hebrew - too Semitic) was the official language, and where non-Ashkenazim were denied the vote?

He's talking about split smong Jews, which is much harder to achieve. BTW, I found some interesting and pretty relevant article: http://www.meforum.org/article/707How? a worse holocaust leading to a more radical leadership? a worse war of independence in which Ethnic cleansing is a standart procedure?
Results? even more hate from the arabs and palestineans, and less support from the West and the United Nations...

Or do you thing that the Arabs would tone down their Jew-hatred in this scenario, in order to facilitate a divide-and-conquer approach to Israel?
That's why I said "not a DBWI", as my WI is that Israel is a specifically Ashkenazi state, rather than a more general Jewish state...Well, considering that the occupied territories are treated like the bantustans were, isolated and impoverished, many people today already argue that an apartheid system exists in Isreal. If the Isrealis want to maintain a "Jewish state" in former Palestine, then a settlement needs to be reached quickly, for demographics are everyday working to create an Arab majority in the territory Isreal now occupies...
It was.a worse war of independence in which Ethnic cleansing is a standart procedure?
There was no "Jew-hatred", at least not on a large scale. Zionist activity was simply prohibited, and the Jews were constantly suspected for it. If Zionism meant Ashkenazi supremacism, than Jewish Arabs would not be zionist at all.<zionist>Because it's better than being exterminated by the Arabs perhaps?</zionist>
