New Re: The poltical side is also similar
Now that the Jews have a definite political structure, I suppose we can expect a similar schism to appear in that religion. For all I know it's already happened.

New Jews went thorough this long ago
This is not the first time that Jews had a definite political structure :)

I am not quite sure what battles happened back then, but the end result was: all truth is in Torah, but Torah cannot be properly interpreted without a huge oral tradition coming from Moses via Aaron, his sons and discipples and so on.

So it seems that Jews managed to sintethize Protestantism and Catolicism.

New Probably happened multiple times
Major splits in the Jewish religion have happened many times, but often the only reference we have is the Torah itself and it is by no means an unbiased source. Nor does it tend to record anything but the religous aspects of the disputes, even though many of them obviously had geographic, poltical or other significant aspects.

Evidence suggests that the Christian religion itself was split off because of such a dispute. The movement that spawned the Christian religion became a major movement in Isreal because the population was angry with the way the leaders and high priests where selling out to the Romans.

Once again this was a religious / poltical dispute where a significant portion of the population turned away from the previously accepted central authority.
