    I’m sure journalists will be allowed into the ‘tunnel’ after the IDF have been down there long enough to make the requisite changes.

        In what sense are they pre-determined?

        The IDF claimed the hospital was a major centre of Hamas operation. They’ve presented nothing to back that up except doctored videos and a few weapons. My view that the tunnel will probably not establish this thriving hub of Hamas activity the IDF said it was is not determined by anything other than the evidence, if you can even call it that, that the IDF have presented thus far and a suspicion that they’ll doctor whatever they do (or more likely don’t) find in that single tunnel.

          Because it’s obvious it doesn’t matter. Whatever might be done, a reason will be found not to believe it.

            No, it absolutely does matter. And the reason it matters is because what the IDF claims has so far totally failed to match up with what it’s shown. That’s why people are so cynical. If they show evidence for their claims, evidence that can be independently verified by decent journalists, I’d be much more prepared to believe them.

        You act like combat footage via action camera (GoPro etc) aren’t the norm these days. I can assure you I watch combat footage literally everyday and the fact that such a technologically forward country has not provided the action footage from the hospital is extremely telling.
