A: Yes.
Q: What is the reason for this fear? On what basis?
A: From the multiplicity, from the multitude of pollutants and the possibilities that there are many synergists there.
(pp. 195-196).
- In connection with another article he referred to on page 52 of the 'Waters and Lakes Authority', where he noted that 'Professor Avital in the Shamgar Commission report' Shlita was asked whether Professor Avital was part of the committee of inquiry into the Kishon River in the Shamgar Commission, and he replied that he did not remember. He was asked where he got the information that he had taken part in writing the Shamgar Commission report, and he replied, "... I know he testified, that's what I remember... I don't remember what his status was, and that's it, I'm sure he wasn't a member of the Shamgar Committee."
He was asked in this context as follows:
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Does it appear in the report or does it not appear in the report? Do you know if these things appear in the report?
A: I can't remember. I know there was his testimony about it, about the Kishon pollution.
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Okay, the question is whether he said those things in the report, the ones you cite.
A: I can't say because I don't remember.
Q: Now, what you quote from Avital's words, by Professor Avital, is Examined damage in fish cells, not humansRight?
A: Right, right.
Q: Now, I'm telling you and confirm to me please, that this study by Avital did not examine synergy between substances at all. He didn't deal with it, did he?
A: It could very well be.
Q: It could very well be. So why do you bring it as evidence of synergism??

The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Please, when he asked him at first about Montevideo, just I'm disrupting, he directed him straight to this page of the Authority, of the Lake Authority. Do you remember? He started with Montevideo, Synergy, he referred him to his mouth, so he asks him why when he referred him there he brought it here, so he just wants to know if it has to do with synergy or not. If my lord remembers the conduct that was.
