Does Kadima's softer support come from Labor or Likud?

an excellent question, which one of our Israeli friends will need to answer. However im not sure its that simple - some of the voters who moved from Likud to Kadima are, IIUC, working class Sephardim (jews of middle eastern and North african origin), who arent wild about Netanyahu's "neo liberal" record as finance minister. While it was easier for them to leave Likud to go to Sharon, Peretz, the new Labour leader, who has reemphasized the social agenda and was born in Morocco, could appeal to them. Peretz will have to show his firmness on security to win them over, though.

I disagreed with Sharons policies through the 80s and 90s. While I dont think he was a war criminal, his negligence contributed to the tragedy of Sabra and Shatilla, and the invasion of Lebanon was itself a mistake, as was his support for aggressive settlement activity in subsequent years.
However when, after decaded in public life, he became PM, in some of he most trying times for Israel, he saw farther than most. He recognized the new situation pragmatically, and while exerting a firmness that offended some, he was far more moderate in his actions during the 2nd intifada than many called for. When a partner for peace stood up, in the shape of Abbas, even a dreadfully imperfect partner, he met the test and reached out. He climbed down from the stance of decades and accepted in principle a Palestinian state, and the need to give up much of the occupied territories. Like Disraeli, he educated his party (or much of it, at any rate) He finally took the step of risking his political career, and even his life (when that looked more likely to be shot down by an assasins bullet than by a stroke) to withdraw from Gaza. He then started an earthquake in Israeli party politics, one which will likely continue whether he lives or dies.
The glory is not in having never sinned, but in having sinned and changed.
I deeply hope this man lives, and guides his people to the promised land of peace. If not, if he must part with us on the far bank of the Jordan (!!!!), we will never forget him.

Why are we worried about the Jews anyway? It is only a matter of time until the Arab nuke them into the fate that Hitler planned for them in the first place.
