...FORMATION OF A LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL: Our people don't want the old politicians again. They held back land reform, squandered the funds of the government, prevented the country from meeting the Communist threat and the threat of the rightist oligarchy. Last July we held a referendum, and I asked the people if they wanted a legislative council, national assembly or legislature. We are still assessing the answers. Apparently the majority want a legislative council. Either I call an election or I appoint the members...

However, what I actually said was the following: Golda is to be blamed for two misdeeds: first, her tacit alliance with the Likud (the rightist allignment) is in principle and in practice a violation of the Socialist, moderate, peace-oriented tradition of the Labor party and an unprecedented challenge to the majority of Labor's voters 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...
