The self-contradictory voice of the zionist "left"

I just found this on Engage. It's actually from Ha'aretz and it's Yossi Beilin jumping through hoops to defend the zionist project from a "left" perspective.
We have a deep belief in the right of the Jewish people to a democratic and secure state, which has a stable Jewish majority: the state of the Jewish people and all of its citizens.
Even Engage has had to allow a comment questioning how a state can be Jewish and democratic, a state with a "stable Jewish majority" and "for all its citizens." The only way this circle could be squared would be to strip all non-Jews of citizenship or expel them all or both. And this is the zionist left?
