Far be it from me to take anyone to task for procrastinating;~}<br /><br />I'm sure I saw your original post. In fact that might have been what prompted me to track it down in the first place. But I didn't watch the video of Kosminsky, probably because at that time, playing videos crashed my computer - turned out to be a bodgy power supply unit. Sorted now.<br /><br />Having now watched it, I'm mildly embarrassed to have described the tunnels in exactly the same terms as that Zionist shill in the audience. That said, Kosminsky's rejoinder was decidedly unsatisfying - 'How do you know the tunnel was from Israel?' 'Tunnels are secret by nature'. The reason we know the tunnel was not from Egypt is that that would mean that there was a big hole in the narrative showing how Omar and Erin got there, which would not have been a straightforward process for an 'Israeli Arab'. As for the secrecy of a tunnel inside Israel, it is profoundly implausible that people and goods entering and leaving the house on the Israeli side would go unnoticed. 'Inconceivable' may have put it a little too strongly, but not much. Unlike the shill, however, I wouldn't claim that my thinking it inconceivable constitutes some kind of historical 'proof'.Ernie Halfdramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463362099448607727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873160920540394292.post-55650822886544090482013-06-17T18:34:58.902+10:002013-06-17T18:34:58.902+10:00Hi Ernie
I meant to comment on this ages ago but ...Hi Ernie<br /><br />I meant to comment on this ages ago but didn't get round to it.<br /><br />Re your point that "As far as I know, the tunnels into the Gaza strip connect Rafah with the Egyptian side of the border. It seems inconceivable that a tunnel entrance within Israel could go undetected. But there's no indication that they flew or snuck into Egypt to access the tunnel." Kosminsky had an audience q and a about The Promise and he was challenged about that same point and responded to the effect that the assumption that the tunnel was between Gaza and Israel <i>could</i> be wrong. But he also said that tunnels by their nature are secret so we can't know whether there are tunnels between Israel and Gaza. I've posted the clip here: http://jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/kosminsky-and-critics.html<br /><br />I also did a post making the same point about contriving Len into the major events of the zionist conquest of Palestine. I, possibly cruelly, likened it to Forrest Gump.<br />http://jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/late-take-on-kosminskys-promise.html<br /><br />But it was a great primer for those who don't know the history.levi9909https://www.blogger.com/profile/10553481056544494411noreply@blogger.com
