Reference:- The term " ceasefire " must have a usage with which we are not familiar .

Reference :-  The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has already been broken . 

Dear Mr Netanyahu , 

                                    I see that the IDF is still shooting up Gaza , post ceasefire deal . And they have torched a sewerage treatment plant . I think the term "ceasefire " in your vocabulary must mean that the other side ceases fighting while you set fire to everything .   I understand that Hamas would have been hiding in the raw sewerage , so what can you do ?  They are human animals , and probably enjoy hiding in sewerage .....what a hard task you face . 

Anyway , stay chipper  . You have let your proxies keep attacking the hospitals , which is a smart move . Folk in the West view hospital attacks as despicable war crimes , but if you let others do that while you concentrate on the sewerage plants this will deflect criticism . 

The final phase of the " war " in Gaza is possibly the most difficult for you , but in a few weeks Israel will achieve final victory , and I imagine all those charges against you in the International  Criminal Court will be dropped , along with any of those charges you face in your own country ...ahem .  Soon you , and the country you have saved from destruction will be on the downhill run to the finish line .  

Well done ! 

Your comrade , Ken  

 

    

  

 

 

Reference :- Sky Anchor , young Sharri Markson , broke into tears , live on television .

Reference :-   Sharri Markson's display of emotion told us much about the kind of person she is . 

Dear Sharri , 

                      As an emotionally stunted male baby boomer , I envy you the ability to display your emotions openly .  Although I cannot do it myself , I admire those who have no inhibitions when it comes to sharing their most heartfelt feelings . 

As you say , Mr Netanyahu and your fellow Zionists have never relented in the struggle to make the world a safe place for Jews , no matter where they might reside .   I reckon that the 1.5 million Jews who have left Israel over the past two years will be clamouring to board the next flight  home .  And those who prefer to remain in the diaspora have been vindicated , and can expect to be welcome in other countries for years to come . 

It's a shame that the ( unfortunately huge ) cohort of self-hating Jews who have protested the genocide in Gaza   ( I am using the United Nations definition here , only to a avoid ambiguity ) will also benefit from Zionism's great victory . Those traitors deserve to be treated no better than the Palestinians they support . 

As a younger person , Sharri , I am sure that , despite otherwise worshiping the man , you can see that Mr Netanyahu has been somewhat blinded by his great victory .  It behoves a chap to remain humble and humane in victory,  or he might look like a monster . 

I refer to the fact that Israeli  authorities have declared that any Palestinian rejoicing upon the return of one of their family members from an Israeli prison will be immediately arrested . This does look a tad gestapo-like  and ungracious .   Although it has been standard Israeli policy for decades , perhaps on this occasion the rules could be relaxed .  Many Palestinian folk have found themselves in chains for smiling at the wrong moment . Fortunately you are in a position to soften the impact of Mr Netanyahu's  overenthusiastic " victory revelling" .

Here at The Sky Reply we reckon you should run a segment showing how pleased the Palestinians are to return to their homes .  Obviously there must be at least one or two homes in Gaza that were not entirely destroyed , and these could be used if camera angles are carefully chosen .    I would avoid the sobbing scenes as dead children are dug out of the rubble , and best to not include any emaciated children hobbling along sans a limb like something out of Dickens .  Don't forget to emphasize that Hamas had been using them as human shields . 

This would show you have a heart .  You do have one don't you ? So why not show it ? 

Your comrade , Ken 

PS .   Ken junior is quite surprised by the speed at which your features are beginning to resemble those of  the matron of Sky News , Peta Credlin .  He asked a strange question. 

" Does hatred age you ? " 

 He is a strange lad , God only knows why he asked that .  

 

 

 

Reference :- Favoured commentator on Sky News , young Douglas Murray , suffered another blow to his credibilty .

 Reference :-   Sometimes skeletons exit the closet at the least opportune time . 

Dear Douglas , 

                          You have wisely managed to avoid the limelight since your credibility was destroyed by that comedian chap , Dave Smith , on the Joe Rogan show . (At least  , I assume your absence  from the limelight has been intentional .)   Sadly , just as your humiliation was becoming forgotten , something else has emerged to sully your reputation .  Following it's revelation , everybody is gossiping about the 2014 speech you wrote for the Israeli Ambassador to the UN Security Council .  

It goes without saying that it is strongly pro-Israel , and why not ?   Apparently it also includes strong derogatory comments about European Muslims  .  And that is what the current scuttlebutt is all about . 

Personally , I reckon you are entitled to work as a shill for any rogue state you like . After all , a journalist needs  to make a few quid to feed himself .  And the speech in question was written ten years ago , long before the current genocide ... I mean war against Muslim terrorism ..... in Gaza .  I reckon the current  criticism is a storm in a teacup . 

However , you will suffer damage to your reputation for another reason .  As a supposed intellectual with an Oxbridge ... or is it Camford ? ..... accent , you have unfortunately embarrassed yourself by writing the controversial speech in disgracefully poor English . 

We are not finely educated here in Kooralya , but even though I left school at age 15 to drive tractors  , I do wince when I read that speech you wrote in 2014. 

For example :-    " It's possible I have put in more diplomatic things than needed.  But I think I have got in all the points discussed"    The syntax would be disappointing in an essay by a ten year old for whom English is a second language .   

 I only made it to grade 9 , but even I could do better . 

For example :-   " I may have overdone the diplomacy , but I believe I have included all the points we discussed " .  

 Forget about the millions  who have turned away from you already , they are never coming back . And your true supporters won't care that you have been an Israeli shill for years .   But you will lose supporters among the neocon elite for appearing to be semiliterate .   Not that I hold any prejudice against the semiliterate , but many folk do dislike those who pompously present themselves as intelligentsia , when in fact they are unable to write an elegant sentence . 

Sorry for the bad news Douglas , but feedback is important for those at the pinnacle of academic discourse. 

Your comrade , Ken  

PS . I was shocked to hear about the murder of young Charlie Kirk . If he had been under the protection of MOSSAD that would never have happened , don't you think ?  

 

Reference :- A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has been signed .

Reference :-   The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has already been violated . 

Dear Mr Netanyahu , 

                                    Ceasefire deals are problematic at best . Through no fault of your own , Israel has already violated it's most recent ceasefire deal with Lebanon over 4000 times .  That's the trouble with ceasefire deals , it's almost impossible to make the other side agree to one unless you agree to stop killing people yourself . What sort of a deal is that ?   I see that you have already broken the recent deal with Hamas , by changing your mind about which Palestinian hostages ..... I mean criminals .... you are willing to release . Attempting to change the terms of a contract after it is signed by both parties is an invitation to conflict . Ken junior reckons that you are doing that deliberately to provoke Hamas, but personally I have always seen you as a man of peace . 

Anyway , as usual , when the Western press declares in disappointed tones that the destruction of Gaza  has resumed ( despite the fact that it had never paused for so much as a nanosecond )  you can blame Hamas for breaking the ceasefire " deal " .  But be aware that this time you may not be so readily believed by the great unwashed .  Ordinary folk , who had never heard of Zionism two years ago, and barely noticed whether or not there were Jewish folk in their community , have now become raving antisemites and tools of Hamas .  Your team in the Hasbara has been paying "  influencers " on the interweb  thousands of quid to post pro -Zionist propaganda , and it only seems to be making matters worse .  .    That Charlie Kirk chap ( may he rest in peace ) had been doing a good job on the campuses , convincing the young that Israel was fighting for good against evil  . Sadly , he has been assassinated .    Although , and perhaps I shouldn't say this , he had just changed his stance on the Gaza genocide ....I mean war .....  and become critical of Israel , so perhaps it is best that he is ...ahem , gone . 

One last thing .   It reeks of desperation when you try to convince the USA military that Iran will soon have an atomic bomb that they can launch as far as Florida  .  Nobody believes that . Try and stick to something more plausible . The "weapons of mass destruction " narrative has become cliched  . You are  cunning enough to have stayed out of an Israeli prison for years , so I reckon you can think of something that will restore your country's reputation . But you had better be quick , or the world will view Israel as a pariah state for decades to come . 

I hope you find this advice helpful . Keep a stiff upper lip . 

Your comrade , Ken . 

PS.   Doesn't your son live in Florida , to stay out of harms way ?   If you want folk to believe Florida could soon be obliterated in a nuclear attack by Iran , you had better find another villa for him ..... maybe in Tasmania ?  

 

Reference :- The Sky Reply returns from holidays .

Reference :-  It has been quite a shock to return to the daily news after a well -earned holiday . 

 The extent to which Sky News has deteriorated during our holiday has shocked the team here at the Sky Reply . It will require another post to explore this sorry state of affairs . The other shocking news we encountered upon our return has been the devastation of the State of Israel .  Mr Netanyahu has been making mistake after blunder after miscalculation , and pushed the Zionist project to the edge of extinction .  And his handling of the Global Sumud Flotilla is yet another boo boo . He needs help . 

Dear Mr Netanyahu , 

                                      Let me start by stating something positive . It was a brilliant move  for you to rename the Freedom Flotilla the Hamas Terrorist Flotilla .   And the beauty of that ploy is that it doesn't look like a hilariously puerile and transparent attempt to discredit a humanitarian mission at all .  You really are a public relations genius .   And who cares if boarding the boats of the flotilla in international waters is a criminal act ?   That young Hegseth chap in the USA has already told the world that there are no rules in warfare , so if the USA couldn't care a sailor's cuss for international law , why should you ? I reckon you should spray as much skunk oil on those stupid pacifists as you can . 

Anyway , now that I have spread praise where it is due , I wish , if I may , to offer some light criticism .  Prior to inventing the brilliant moniker   " Hamas  Terrorist Flotilla " you labelled freedom flotillas " Selfie Flotillas " .    Indeed this was an effective way to ridicule the actions of those self -absorbed fake humanitarians . ( That ploy also avoided looking hilariously puerile and transparent , I don't know how you do it . )   But you have just made a mistake .   Forcing folk aboard the flotilla to fling their mobile  phones overboard  was unwise . Firstly , those phones were evidence from a crime scene , and would no doubt reveal those connections with Hamas terrorists that you regularly claim .  Secondly , they would show how sensitively and humanely the IDF ( the most moral army in the world ) handled the arrests . 

You could always edit out the parts where the IDF sprayed skunk oil about or , God forbid , did something a bit nasty .  Furthermore , it does look a bit shifty when you conceal evidence . Rather like those dodgy cops in the USA who turn off their body cameras before beating someone to death .  

Hopefully it's not too late , and you can save some footage for editing .  And if you find no incriminating evidence , you can always just make it up .   Surely you can see that if you first tell everybody to throw their phones into the briny deep , and  later say that you have loads of evidence on phones proving Hamas involvement , or footage of the impeccable behaviour of your military , folk might suspect that you are lying . 

Hope this has been helpful . 

Your comrade , 

Ken .  

 

 

Reference:- The Sky Reply issues a public notice

 Reference :-     A protest march in support of Palestine has been cancelled . 

To  those who intended to travel to Brisbane on Sunday and join the planned march across the Story Bridge in support of Palestine , we advise that the protest has been cancelled . 

Concerns for the safety of pedestrians , and possible restriction of access by ambulances , patients , doctors and nurses to hospitals in Brisbane prompted this decision by police .   Speculations about other reasons are merely ......speculation . 

Assistant editor at the Sky Reply  , Ken junior , made an interesting point . 

" In Gaza 92% of the hospitals have been destroyed .  Hundreds of doctors and nurses have been killed , patients have been killed in their hospital beds , ambulances have been blown to pieces killing those inside , and countless thousands of pedestrians have been shot by snipers or killed by bombs .  Makes you think , doesn't it ?  " , Ken junior said . 

" Sure does . It highlights how important it is to look after our own hospitals , and ambulances , and doctors , and nurses  and pedestrians . We wouldn't want to end up like Gaza . " , I said . 

"  I have to change the kitty litter now . " , Ken junior said .  And walked off . 

I wonder what's making him so tetchy this morning ? 

Your comrade , Ken .  

PS Anybody planning to attend the fireworks display on September 6th ( Brisbane's famous "Riverfire " event ) should be aware that for last year's event the Story Bridge was closed for many hours over three days , and there were also closures of the Captain Cook Bridge , the Neville Bonner Bridge  , the Goodwill Bridge , and the Victoria Bridge .  The Brisbane City Council website should have details for this year's closures so folk can plan their route to hospital should they injure themselves while intoxicated ..... or if they are a health worker who needs to get to work at a hospital .   ( This has been another pro bono announcement by the community service department of The Sky Reply . )  

 

 

 

 

 

Reference :- One encounters a great many lies being spread by the media these days.

 Reference :-  The most damaging consequences of lying are seldom explored . 

Here at The Sky Reply the lads have decided to investigate the consequences of spreading  huge lies , otherwise known as " Whoppers  " .   I have perused their preliminary report , in which they have divided Whoppers into two categories , as below . 

"Type 1 Whoppers " 

These are obvious lies that nobody believes from the outset .

"Type 2 Whoppers "

These are lies that successfully deceive folk . 

Generally speaking  , "Type 1 Whoppers " greatly damage the credibility and reputation of the liar . They are , therefore , counterproductive . 

Speaking generally again , "Type 2  Whoppers " can stir popular support for the liar's cause in the short term .  However , often such Whoppers are eventually uncovered , at which time they become similar to "Type 1 Whoppers " . But  a great deal of anger at being deliberately deceived is usually fomented .  

The lads decided to label these exposed lies "Type 1A Whoppers " .  These Whoppers are far more damaging than the standard "Type 1 Whoppers " .

It is not unusual for a successful liar to eventually believe their own Whoppers .   These Whoppers fit the "Type 2 " category , but the lads have decide to label these self-deceiving lies as " Type 2A ,Whoppers " , since they have additional ramifications .    They explain it like this . 

  A charlatan could be enriching himself  by selling a snake oil remedy for diabetes that was killing people . If said charlatan comes to believe his own sales pitch , subsequently  develops diabetes , and then treats himself with his snake oil remedy , he will die .    Entire nations and empires have often fallen because they believed their own propaganda .   According to the lads at The Sky Reply , the " Type 2A Whopper " is the most dangerous of  all.  It is often found in statements like " we stand for democracy , equality of opportunity , free speech and the rule of law " .....that sort of thing . 

Anyway , enough of that , the lads' project is still in it's infancy . 

I see in the news today that Mr Netanyahu has declared to the world that there is no starvation in Gaza .  

The lads have not yet invented a label for that particular Whopper .  But it's definition might include ....... pretending to believe your own lies in order to stay out of prison .  Or perhaps ...pretending to believe your own lies in order to facilitate genocide .   Since everybody knows that he knows he is lying , and Mr Netanyahu also knows that everybody knows that he knows he is lying , perhaps the lads might label that a "Type 2B. Whopper ". 

How would I know ? 

Your comrade , 

Ken .
