Allahpundit:

The only hard evidence I see is the machine gun. A strange item to find on the premises of a hospital, admittedly, but maybe not in the Bekaa Valley.

For whatever it is worth, when I looked at the video, making use of the pause and rewind buttons, this is what I saw.

45 sec: AK style assault rifle in cabinet
49 sec: One crew served heavy machine gun. 50-75 rounds linked ammunition on left side. Possible second similar crew served weapon glimpsed in upper right side of screen at 53 sec.
55 sec: Two Israeli soldiers examine and clear an AK style assault rifle
1.07: Possible crew served weapon seen at back of room

I don’t know which you are referring to when you say “machine gun”, as that term can be vague and could be applied to any of the above depending on who is saying it.

Here are some links to some wiki links to various crew served weapons that could resemble the above mentioned.

And here is a link to the ubiquitous AK-47 and its many variants.

I’m sorry but I just check the copier not 15 feet from my desk and there was an AK-47 in the lower paper drawer! So I checked the manual and it says its standard equipment. Except the page is in Arabic! Which I had to have translated. Who knew?

Gibson is a sloppy, dumb drunk. What is Cohen’s excuse for his self-hatred? The way I read this person is that you have to hate everything but what you and your lefties believe. Where is the sanity? The humanity? The truth? They don’t have any.

Cohen is a brainless twit. The “UN created Isreal”?? What next, is he going to tell us the sky is chartreuse?

Moron.

It looked like multiple weapons in different shots. I could not identify the long dark item at the rear of the room in the last shot. The hospital looked extremely barren to me. Lacking normal trivial items, with empty rooms.

I knew Mel Gibson would gain some traction from his rant which Cohen calls a ‘Mel moment’ to stick the bad part of the tirade on Mel, while claiming the inner wisdom of the tirade for himself and the world.

Mel

put his finger to the anti-Israel zeitgeist and uttered its prevailing sentiment: Enough.

So even a drunken fool like Mel can find the inner wisdom of Cohen’s position. If Cohen is that close to the tirade, he should do some community service too. How about a hospital in Haifa? Here is a self-hater who loves himself too much to hate himself; Mel could become the useful tool.
