...whose social and political ideology disagree with such previous policies as Dayan's 'crawling annexation' of the occupied territories which culminated in the notorious 'Gallili document'; the encouragement of a process which will enable Arab (cheap or expansive labor under Israeli management, and the cultivation of the young Israeli nouveau riche sector who profited immensly from the enormous defense expenditures in the last six years. Secondly, Golda's endurance as no.1 in Labor's candidate list is a continuation of the pre-October war formal political fabric in sharp disregard of the material change which the war generated in Israel...
