"Does that include the left in Israel?"

I was referring to the left in Israel. They are pretty much the same as the left here.

I don't think PM Sharon is unrealistic in his appreciation of the Palestinian hatred and desire to wipe Israel off the map. Leftists may like his current program but he is not one of them. I think he has opted for what is called defnsible borders, and a two state solution because he felt that the world was heading for forcing a one state solution. He also thought that Pres Bush and this administration would allow him the best shot at achieving the best borders.

Whether he has made a hubrisitic miscalculation remains to be seen.

How will the 2 state solution work? Will Israel be left with the right of religious based expulsion? Can she jettison any and all Moslems? If not, I wouldn't be surprised that many decide to stay. One, in the end, their goal may be nothing more than driving Jews into the sea - so to hell with joining a new state. Secondly, maybe they will realize how good they have it in Israel. Versus moving to a new state run by PLO dirt bags. The problem with them staying then is how does the new state solution solve anything? My understanding is that Israel's greatest fear is to be outnumbered by Moslems in years to come.
