I’m not entirely disagreeing with you, we’ll likely never have accurate data on how many remaining Jewish Israelis actually dissent, and it may well be that 15% is almost totally the Palestinian Israelis. I’m well aware almost everyone even vaguely left of centre has either left the country or is trying to (I will admit I have some out-sized sympathy for those who can’t), and they were never a major faction to begin with, because most Jews with progressive or socialist sympathies never wanted to be associated with the project in the first place. I’m just saying it’s not untrue that there is still a spectrum within the remaining right wing there. “Far right”, is still an accurate description of the most extreme subset.
I mean, listen, there’s always a spectrum. But my definition of “far right” is anyone advocating for a colonial ethnocentric state. And that’s israelis.
A liberal Zionist is still left of far right Likud, but the majority of the colonial project was constructed and given cover by liberal Zionism. And that’s far right.
