Reference :- It has been leaked to the media that Palestinian prisoners have been raped in Israeli prisons .

 Reference : -  Video tapes of prisoners being raped in Israeli prisons have greatly upset Mr Netanyahu . 

Dear Mr Netanyahu , 

                                     Bad press can cause tremendous damage to a chap's reputation , as you well know . After all , bad press is often used by Mossad to discredit their opponents .  Of course , you call it Hasbara , but as they say ... a rose by any other name would smell the same (  apologies to C J Dennis ) .  

Sadly , immersed as you are in the fog of genocide ... ahem , I mean war ..  while facing the vicious assault of ungrateful pettifoggers intent on having you incarcerated for corruption , you have failed to remember these basic rules for addressing attacks by the media . 

1.  Deny the event occurred . This you have not done . In fact , you confirmed that it occurred. 

2.  Deny knowing of the event . This you have not done , you have confirmed your knowledge of it. 

3.  Condemn the perpetrators .  This you have not done . 

4. Express sympathy for the victims and their families .   This you have also overlooked . 

As far as 1 and 2 are concerned , there is no going back . 

In theory , you could still action 3 and 4 , but that will appear insincere after the long delay . 

It looks like your goose is well and truly cooked on this issue , so what you need is a distraction . 

Why not start another war ?   Or at least bomb another country ?  In the past 72 hours you have attacked 6 countries , Palestine , Lebanon , Syria , Tunisia , Qatar and Yemen , two of which you have recently made ceasefire  agreements with . It might be unwise to attack Iran again right now ,  since Mr Trump may not back you up , and Iran now has powerful allies in Russia and China .  Remember how badly it went when you last attacked Iran , hoping to spark a popular uprising ?  Iran is now more united and stronger than ever . Attacking Iraq is a possibility , and excuses can be easily invented , but maybe having 7 countries in the region hate you is one too many . 

Have you thought of attacking Tobago ?  They recently refused to refuel a US Navy vessel that threatens the security of Venezuela . Since Israel and the USA are joined at the hip , I am sure you could paint that as an antisemitic attack . Is there a Synagogue there you can bomb ? Or an Israeli Embassy ? A false flag attack could work wonders .  

Anyway , you may have a better idea ... perhaps a war in Cyprus where the locals are tiring of Zionist settler interference and attempts to force apartheid upon them ?  .   The main thing is the need for a distraction , and whatever you do , never speak of those unspeakable rapes again .  

Your Comrade  , 

Ken  

 

 

                                     

Reference :- Sometimes a google search takes you to an unexpected site .

Reference :-   We thought that young Douglas Murray had disappeared from the interweb  , until we accidentally stumbled across him again . 

Yesterday I searched the interweb trying to find an episode of the gloriously subversive cartoon series  "Quads " by John Callahan .   Sadly John , a quadriplegic  , died many years ago , but I have kept his books in the comic section of the bookcase .  The lads at The Sky Reply are disinclined to open books , and find a computer screen more easy to read .  Personally I find the smell and feel of paper strangely comforting , and the blue light from a computer screen alienating , but that is because I am old , or so the lads tell me . 

Anyway , while searching the cartoon series " Quads " ,  I stumbled upon a media site called " The Quad " , and blow me down if young Douglas Murray was not on the screen being interviewed .  I thought that the lads might be interested , since they all thought  Douglas Murray was in hiding following his total humiliation on that Joe Rogan show ... and a few other shows as well .  

" Hey lads .   Douglas Murray is being interviewed  . " , I said . 

Ken junior cracked the popcorn , and we sat down to enjoy the show . 

It turned out that the interviewer was Ms Fleur Hassan - Nahoum , the Deputy Mayor  of Jerusalem and a staunch Zionist . 

" It's nice to see that Doug is accepting interviews from folk who understand the importance of compromise and don't hold extreme views . " I said . 

" Is it .  " , Ken junior said , rhetorically . 

" Considering that Doug desperately needs to restore some fragments of his lost credibility ,  it is foolish of him to associate with Ms  Hassan-Nahoum  . " , Gabbo said . 

" How so ? ", I said

"  Allow me to quote , verbatim , a statement made by  Ms Hassan - Nahoum  . " ,  Gabbo  said . 

  Here is the statement . 

" I saw the report {of IDF snipers shooting at a Church ) this morning .  There are no churches in Gaza , so I am not sure where the report is talking about . Unfortunately there are no Christians in Gaza because they were driven out by Hamas .... I don't know what happened , I don't know who was attacked , I didn't see the report . " 

"  How many lies can be crammed into one short statement ?  It is not true that there are no Churches in Gaza . It is not true that there are no Christians in Gaza . It is not true that Hamas drove away the Christians . ( Anybody can watch a priest being interviewed after his Church was shot up by the IDF , and Pope Francis regularly talked with his Palestinian Christians in Gaza. ).  Furthermore ,  to ice her stale cake of mendacity , Ms Hassan -Nahoum began her statement by claiming she had seen the report , and finished it by saying she had not seen the report .  "  Gabbo said . 

" That is concerning . Young Douglas needs to choose his interviewers more carefully .  This does his reputation no favours at all . " , I said . 

" Nobody of any standing in the media is interested in Douglas anymore . He must be getting desperate " , Gabbo said . 

" Oh how the mighty have fallen . " , Ken junior said . 

" What? " , I said . 

" Old Testament 2 Samuel 1:19 " , Ken junior said . 

I wonder if  Ken junior has read the manifestos of  tax deductible bronze age superstitions ?  But I guess if he has , that is an easily remembered quote . 

Your comrade , Ken  

 

 

Reference :- A lot of seminars are being cancelled of late .

 Reference :-   The Paediatric Academy cancelled a seminar at Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne scheduled for 17th September 2025 . 

 A long time ago , in a previous century,  the senior editor at The Sky Reply was born at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne .   Doubtless much has changed over the many decades , they probably don't even use chloroform anymore .  Anyhow , it was interesting to see my old birthplace featuring in the news .  Although it was not exactly in the headlines , one has to look among the back pages of the newspapers to find the article , somewhere near the cartoon section .   

It seems that a seminar titled " Children and War " has been cancelled for reasons that remain obscure .  The theme of the seminar was advertised as  " How war affects children " .  Health care professionals were going to discuss how they could help care for children affected by war .   You know , life changing physical injuries , mental trauma , death of family and friends , loss of any means of support , inability to access schools..... or food or water . That sort of thing . 

It seems like it could have been a worthwhile seminar , but sadly it was cancelled at the 11th hour for some reason or other .  Ken junior reckons it was cancelled because of the likelihood that somebody might mention Gaza .  And to be honest , I think that for once he is on the money with that assessment . After all , over 50,000 children have been killed or injured in Gaza , and Gaza now has a shockingly high number of child amputees desperate for medical care after enduring their amputations without anaesthesia . Many have to face their challenging futures without any surviving family . 

So  I am sure Gaza would have been mentioned .    But the question is , who would have put pressure on my old birthplace to cancel a seminar about caring for injured children because it would mention Gaza ? 

I can't think of anybody or any organisation that would be evil enough to do that , so clearly there must be another reason .   

Maybe it was discovered that the air conditioning in the lecture hall is fairly riddled with Legionnaires' Disease germs or something . That would explain a reluctance to provide a reason for the cancellation . 

It is all a mystery to me . 

Your comrade , 

Ken .  

 

Reference :- Australia's position on the World Press Freedom Index might be in jeopardy .

Reference :-  The National Press Club in Canberra just cancelled an address by award winning journalist , war correspondent , and author of 17 books on geopolitics , Chris Hedges .  Then lied about it . 

 Dear Team at the National Press Club , 

 Here at The Sky Reply we greatly anticipated the advertised speech at the press club by world renowned journalist  , Chris Hedges .  After that embarrassing interview with international human rights lawyer Francesca Albanese , which revealed the shocking incompetence of the press club journalists , we figured you might have improved your act .   Clearly you did not , since you cancelled the presentation by Mr Hedges .  The cancellation itself was very disappointing , but not as disappointing as the lies you told about the cancellation .   Lies that were immediately obvious to anybody who did the most perfunctory research .     

That chap who has replaced Phillip Adams on the ABC wireless show , what's his name again ? David Marr ? ,  made a complete fool of himself trying to hide the lies and justify the cancellation .  

Anyway , boys and girls , when you tell lies you should make sure they are adequately concealed . At present Australia languishes at position 29 on the World Press Freedom Index ......below Namibia and South Africa .     This latest example of unjustifiable censorship ..... and did I mention blatant mendacity ?  ... may well push us further down the listing . 

Ken junior and the other lads at The Sky Reply are keen to know why Mr Hedges was cancelled . They quoted a line from a movie with Jack Nicholson  " You can't handle the truth ! " 

Is that true ?  Was Mr Hedges cancelled because it was felt that audiences would be unable to handle the truth ? 

Fortunately , other Australian media outlets did interview Mr Hedges , so the lads could hear his presentation and the interviews that followed .  They appeared to handle the truth quite well , and they are mere teenagers .  Sadly it has lowered their opinion of the National Press Club more than somewhat . 

Ken junior and the lads are of an age that predisposes them to concocting conspiracy theories . They reckon that some malignant lobbyists might have put the kibosh on Mr Hedge's appearance at the press club .   I tell them that they are being silly , there are no lobbyists like that in Australia . 

We look forward to hearing your apology , and perhaps there is still time to coax Mr Hedges back to your lectern before he departs the Antipodes .    It may help you recover at least  some degree of credibility . 

No need to thank me . 

Your comrade , 

Ken  

 

 

 

 

                                                     

Reference :- The Sky Reply seldom covers sporting news , but this is too amusing to overlook .

Reference :-  Normally the contributing editors at The Sky Reply are too busy covering actual real news to bother with sport . However , the  UK Prime Minister's  reaction to soccer violence control is a gift to irreverent journalism . 

Dear Mr Starmer , Sir , 

                                           You can't imagine how shocked we were to learn that the Birmingham Police ( those tools of the woke left ! ) had banned fans of that Israeli soccer team  , Maccabi  , from attending a match at Villa Park stadium . .  The cops claimed that there was a risk of violent hooliganism . For starters , sports fans are renowned for their restrained behaviour .  That is how the word " sportsmanship "  entered popular parlance .  And soccer fans are no exception .   Especially Israeli soccer fans . It is indeed a tragedy that following the recent inexplicable surge of anti-Zionism .... sorry , I mean antisemitism .... globally , protests have occasionally erupted at soccer stadiums .      The Maccabi fans can hardly be blamed for the cruel reception they encounter in foreign climes .   The appalling violence in Amsterdam and Paris coinciding with the arrival of the Maccabi soccer fans was not their fault . And it highlights the fact that other countries are fairly brimming with antisemites . We must not surrender to these extremists . 

Doubtless if their had been a minor scuffle or two at Villa Park in Birmingham , it would have been easily controlled by police , and any hateful antisemites arrested and taken to an interrogation facility .  But it seems that the Birmingham Police , infiltrated as they are by the woke left , took the opportunity to claim that they were only trying to preserve public order and mitigate " risk to life " .  They are a disgrace to their uniforms, and we applaud you for pointing that out and apologising for their behaviour. 

Anyway , Mr Starmer , Sir , did you see the more recent soccer news from Tel Aviv ?   The Tel Aviv police have  cancelled a soccer match between two Israeli teams on their home turf , claiming that their Bloomfield Stadium was impossible  to control when violence erupted . It certainly did look violent , what with the firebombs and all .    The match was between that very same Maccabi team , whose supporters were banned by Birmingham police , and another team , called Beitar Jerusalem . Personally I have never heard of either team . Ken junior tells me that Beitar Jerusalem is the most nationalist team in Israel .... but how would I know ?   

 The Tel Aviv police cancelled the match , claiming there was " a risk to life " .  Sound familiar Mr Starmer , Sir ?    That is no coincidence . I reckon those police in Tel Aviv are self - hating Jews , in cahoots with their confederates in Birmingham .   You should grasp the opportunity to inform MOSSAD of this , so they can launch a  ......I mean an investigation .   This will score you a goal in the eyes of Mr Netanyahu , who not only holds a public relations gun to your head , but is also very hard to please . ( the bastard ). 

We offer this advice gratis .  Stay chipper . 

Your comrade , 

Ken .  

 

 

 

 

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 .
