Reference :- It is about time we reported some news from The Sky Reply's home town, Kooralya .

Reference :-  The New Year is off to a flying start here in Kooralya . 

Dear Reader , 

                        As the premier news outlet in Kooralya , we recently received feedback from the local community reminding us that we have not featured a local news item for many months .  This is indeed true,  so the lads were sent ,with pad and pencil in hand , to flush out all the local news . 

When they returned , we sat around our conference table in the kitchen , ordered a tax deductible pizza , and discussed what they had found .   Obviously the activities in Kooralya are not a rich source of material for cutting edge investigative journalism , but nonetheless we did our best . 

We let Gabbo report first .  He had interviewed the local publican  ( we turn to him for opinions regarding the economy ) who said that pub turnover had fallen due to inflation and high interest rates . Nonetheless , he was optimistic that business might improve this year . He said that interest rates looked likely to fall now that the latest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich has run it's course .   He felt that the next wealth transfer would not effect him very  much , since it would be achieved by pushing up property prices as interest rates fell , and he had no plans to buy any property .  

Monte interviewed the Minister at the local church who had been collecting donations to send to Gaza  for humanitarian aid .  Apparently he has stopped collecting donations since it turns out that 12 .. or 9 .... or several at least ... aid workers in Gaza were Hamas fighters , or supporters ....or knew somebody who was  a supporter,  according to some " interrogated "  prisoners held by the Israeli Army .  ( It is all a bit vague at present . ) This shocking news came to light the day after the International Court of Justice asked the Israeli  Government to increase humanitarian aid , so the timing was perfect , otherwise more aid would be going to Hamas.    Israeli officials have also accused Hamas of stealing ALL the aid  intended for the civilian population .   

"  But how can 30,000 Hamas fighters consume  the food intended for 2 million civilians ?   They must all be fat bastards .  " ,  Monte  said . 

" And if 12 aid workers were baddies , and the other 13,000 aid workers lose their jobs as a result ,  that doesn't seem fair . "  Gabbo said . 

" Well if one in a thousand Australian politicians were found to be corrupt  , I reckon the entire  government would be brought down "  , I said . 

" Do ya ? " ,  Monte said . 

Ken junior had interviewed the  Headmaster at the Kooralya High School .  A big fight had broken out near the tuck shop on the day that school returned from holidays .  The school bully was tormenting the weakest kid at the school , as he had been doing for years , and had pushed him to the end of the queue . The weak kid finally cracked , and started clawing at the bully , ripping the top button off the bully's shirt . " You ripped my shirt ! " the bully shouted . All the kids gathered around . "Fight fight fight !!! ", they chanted  . 

The bully beat the weak kid mercilessly , smashed  his glasses , tore his shirt to pieces , knocked out his front tooth and when he was lying on the ground with a bleeding nose,  kicked  him repeatedly in the ribs .  Most of the kids yelled  "  Kick him , kick him , kick him !!  " , but after the weak kid started crying for his mum one or two of the onlookers felt sorry for him and went to find the headmaster .  

The headmaster is not sure what to do . Apparently last year the weak kid was seen letting down the tyres on the bully's bike after the bully had grabbed his lunch and ate it in front of him .   The headmaster said that the boys share the blame equally  , and  clearly it would be better if the weak kid found another school to attend and went there daily by bus . 

Well , that's about it for the local news . It may not be very interesting , but at least the last item  has provided a break from the moral dilemmas we face when viewing the news of the world . 

Your comrade , Ken

 

 

 

 

 

Reference:- Some of the terminology used in news items about Gaza and Israel can be confusing .

Reference :-  The Sky Reply has been told that some folk have difficulty deciphering the statements of the various mouthpieces on the news channels when they discuss the situation in Gaza.

 With a view to reducing any confusion  , Ken junior has combed through the speeches of Israeli Prime Minister , Mr Netanyahu , and compiled a simple glossary for the benefit of readers .  Here it is . 

AIPAC   

This is the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee .   Israel spends up to 100 million dollars yearly in the USA lobbying politicians and influencing election results for the benefit of both US and Israeli citizens .  This is money well spent , since 5 billion dollars each year are donated to Israel by generous American taxpayers who don't mind sacrificing subsidized health care and education so that Israel can provide it's own citizens with these vital services free of charge . ( see also Democracy )

AMALEK . 

These are the traditional enemies of the Israelites as described in the Bible .  God commanded  that the Israelites must kill them all, take their land , and kill all their descendants in Palestine .  Though these commands are millennia old , they still apply today , as stated by the current  government of Israel . ( See also Netanyahu, Zionism  ) 

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL 

One of several corrupt agencies that accuse Israel of crimes against humanity  and wish to deny Israel the right to defend itself . ( See also United Nations and World Health Organisation . )

ANIMALS ( HUMAN ) 

Palestinians . Also anybody who has sympathy for the plight of  Palestinians . ( See also Hamas ) 

ANTISEMITISM 

Formerly this term was used to describe prejudice against those of Jewish faith . In modern parlance it is used to describe anybody who has reservations concerning the policies of the Israeli government . ( see also Self -hating Jews )

APARTHEID STATE 

This is a term of abuse leftists use to describe a state , like Israel , that is run by members of a hard working elite who have shouldered the responsibility of supervising an inferior race .  This occasionally requires military action . Recently South Africa has taken Israel to the International Court of Justice and made accusations of genocide . The hypocrisy of this action is astounding , since South Africa is itself a former apartheid state which endured the same cruel condemnation 

BUT DO YOU CONDEMN HAMAS ?

 A "go to " question used by conservative news hosts when challenged by a guest who is steering the interview away from the chosen narrative .    For example   :-

Guest ...  "  Amnesty International states that because of the destruction of hospitals in Gaza , thousands of amputations and caesarean sections have been done without anaesthesia or antibiotics , resulting in appalling fatality rates among women and children . " 

Conservative News Host .... " But do you condemn Hamas ? "  

( footnote :-    Ken junior does not understand the relevance of this question. )

DAHIYA DOCTRINE

Named following the destruction of an entire suburb in Beirut , the capital of Lebanon ,  by the Israeli Defense Force . The purpose was to punish the local civilians for allowing terrorists to hide in their  neighborhood . This doctrine is still enforced , to great effect .  ( see also United Nations  )

DENIERS OF THE HOLOCAUST 

Once used to denote the deranged people who do not believe that the Holocaust ever occurred . It's application has now widened to include anybody who does not support the actions of the Israeli government , including actual survivors of the Holocaust and their children .  ( see also Self -hating Jews) 

DEMOCRACY 

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East , most of which is governed by totalitarian regimes .  A loss of Israeli democracy would be a loss for the whole world . Recently , despite protests , the Israeli government unsuccessfully tried to usurp the power of the Judiciary so that it could preserve democracy more effectively .   This setback is seen as temporary . The preservation of democracy requires constant vigilance , which is why 500, 000 Israeli citizens who do not respect democracy have been denied the right to vote in any elections .

HAMAS  

 Human animals intent on the destruction of Israel .  In the past Israel has helped to finance Hamas . This was a well planned strategy to prevent Israel from being accused of wiping out an unarmed civilian population in an unfair war .  ( see also Targetless Terrorist Attacks )

HOLOCAUST         

 This refers to the mass murder and dispossession inflicted upon the Jewish people by the Nazis between 1941 and 1945 , an appalling atrocity that must never be forgotten. ( see also Deniers of the Holocaust  )

INDIGENOUS NAKBA 

This refers to the mass murder and dispossession inflicted upon the indigenous Arabs of Palestine by pioneering  Zionists in 1948 .  Although this unfortunate event is now ancient history , sadly  the Palestinians obstinately refuse to forget .

JEWISH SETTLERS 

These are the hard working folk who come from all over the world to settle in the Holy Lands of Palestine . They are often accused of seizing  and occupying the homes of Palestinian families who have lived there for generations , and although this does occasionally happen , more often the houses are bulldozed for not complying with local council building regulations , and are then replaced with less squalid structures by settlers intent on improving the neighborhood .   ( see also Rifles , Assault .  )

KNESSET

This is the Israeli parliament  which represents the only democratic institution in the Middle East .  In these troubled times, it is important to note that many of the Knesset members have a military background .  ( see also Democracy , Separation of Powers )  

 MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX 

 Self explanatory  . A tremendous boon to stock markets.   This moniker is being gradually revised for public relations reasons , and it will soon be known as the Defense Industrial Base .

NETANYAHU 

Mr Netanyahu is Prime Minister of Israel , a national military hero , and a dedicated protector of the Jewish people . Sadly the massacre of October 7 has been seen as a failure by many citizens who now call for his resignation . Some accuse him of callously sacrificing the lives of hostages while he continues waging  an unwinnable war in Gaza , and others refer to him as the spoiled child of the USA .  Despite these impediments , and despite the corruption charges that he faces in the Court of Israel , he is unwavering in his determination to wage endless war without compromise .  ( see Amalek , Separation of Powers . )

 PEACE MAKING PROCESS

Occasionally it is necessary in the name of diplomacy to pretend to want peace . ( see also Amalek and Zionism )

PEOPLE HELD AS HOSTAGES

 These are the 135 innocent Israelis of all ages , including children , that are being held against their will by Palestinian terrorists .  They have not seen their families for over 100 days .  Offers to return the hostages in return for a ceasefire in Gaza have been rejected by the Israeli government which is committed to winning the war.  ( see also The Hannibal Directive ) 

PRISONERS 

  These are the 14,000 Palestinian murderers and rapists and terrorists  of all ages , including children , who are held  by the Israeli authorities against their will .  There are so many of them that it has not been possible to formally press charges on all of these criminals as yet , but no doubt every one of them is guilty .  This is why many have not seen their families for 15 or 16 years .   ( see also Animals, Human  )

RIFLES , ASSAULT . 

Assault rifles have been given , and are still being given , to thousands of Jewish  settlers so they have a means of protection should a Palestinian family unreasonably resist being evicted from their home .  Settlers are cautioned to exercise restraint when using assault rifles , and accordingly only 6 Palestinians have been shot dead by settlers so far this year . During the same time , more  than one thousand Palestinians have merely been wounded , demonstrating that restraint is indeed being practiced  .  Fortunately,  settlers seldom find themselves in court following these pointless scuffles ,    ( see also Amalek , Zionism )

SEPARATION OF POWERS  

This is the doctrine stating that the government of a country should be answerable to the law .  Although this does apply to some extent in Israel , moves are afoot to remove this impediment to progress , despite public outrage in some quarters . ( see also Self-hating Jews )

SELF HATING JEWS 

Sadly , these are the Jews who do not support the Israeli government or the Israeli settlers .  There are many thousands of them around the world , including inside Israel . Many of those in Israel  have been arrested and jailed for treason .   In other countries the Israeli authorities have been able to punish these traitors by having them lose their jobs , or denying them enrolment in Universities and so forth . ( see also AIPAC ) 

SHIELDS (HUMAN )

Occasionally the Israeli Defense Force uses children as human shields , strapping  them to the bonnets of Army trucks , for example . However the number of children used in this manner pales by comparison with the 10,000 Palestinian children killed during bombing raids in Gaza when Hamas uses them as human shields .  ( see also Ten Thousand Bombs Per Week )

 TARGETLESS TERRORIST ATTACKS 

 Since Oct 7 Hamas fighters have launched rockets into Israel from their strongholds in Gaza , without targeting specific military installations , killing several civilians as a result . 

 TEN THOUSAND BOMBS PER WEEK

  This is the measured proportionate response that the Israeli Defense Force employs to target Hamas  .  To date  30,000 civilians , including 10,000 children , have been killed during these precision bombing raids . This is because the terrorists are using 2 million innocent civilians as cover for their bases .  ( see also Shields , Human ) 

THE ARMY THAT IS THE MOST ETHICAL IN THE WORLD 

  The Israeli Defense Force is the most ethical army in the world .  It is the only army that informs people when they are about to be bombed , gives hospitals have a few hours to evacuate patients before destroying them , and tells people where to relocate so that they will not be bombed until the following day . 

THE HANNIBAL DIRECTIVE . 

Named after the Carthaginian general who killed himself rather than be captured by the Romans , this was a directive to the Israeli Defense Force  instructing soldiers that it is preferable to kill their own people rather than let them be taken as hostages .   The Hannibal Directive was rescinded in 2016 .  For obvious reasons the  same strategy still applies , but it is no longer referred to openly as The Hannibal Directive  .  ( see also United Nations )

THE UNITED NATIONS 

This corrupt institution has been ignored by Israel for decades .  Over 170 resolutions by the the General Assembly of the UN have been ignored to date , and more than 200 resolutions by the United Nations Security Council brushed aside .   Many of these point to what are  euphemistically called " human rights abuses " . Fortunately because of Israel's friendship with the USA , there have been no consequences of note .  ( see also AIPAC ) 

THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION 

Another corrupt institution that accuses Israel of denying food , water and medicine to the citizens of Gaza resulting in thousands of deaths .  The Israeli government asserts that it is not their responsibility to provide free goods and services to Gazans, since the Israelis left Gaza in September 2005 . 

TWO STATE SOLUTION 

This is promoted by some leftists as a plan for a peace . Israel has no such plan .   ( see also Zionism )

ZIONISM 

As God's chosen people , the Jews have a right to their own land , from the Jordan River to the sea.  Clearly no other religion can claim sole right to a land  . It would be ridiculous for the Catholics , or the Methodists or the Mormons to claim sole right to any land based merely on their religion .  This is because they are not God's chosen people .  Zionists have the God given right to use all means necessary , including violence , to settle in the Holy Land .  ( see also Amalek )

I think Ken junior has done a commendable job compiling this glossary .  We hope you find it useful. 

Your comrade , Ken  

 

 

 

 

Reference :- Are you an anti-Semite ?

 Reference:-   Answer our simple questionnaire to determine whether the repugnant label " anti-Semite " applies to you . 

For each question , just circle the statement , A or B , with which you more strongly agree .  

Question 1

 A  "The slaughter in Gaza of thousands of innocent civilians , including women , children , new born babies and the infirm must stop . "     

 B " October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals  and Israel has the right to defend itself "  

Question 2. 

A " The denial of food , water , shelter , clothing , communications , electricity and medical care to civilians in Gaza is a war crime " .  

B   " October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals  and Israel has a right to defend itself " . 

Question 3 

A    "  The destruction of hospitals and slaughter of medical staff and patients could possibly fuel more hatred in Gaza and encourage radicalization of resistance fighters " . 

B    " October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals  and Israel has a right to defend itself . " 

Question 4 . 

A.     The killing of over two hundred journalists , who reported from Gaza to more than 100 countries might diminish support for Israel throughout the world . 

B.  " October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals  and Israel has a right to defend itself . "

Question 5

A   " The case against Israel brought before the International Court of Justice last week highlighted a surprising number of alleged criminal acts by the Israeli government which have yet to be adequately defended . " 

B   " October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals  and Israel has a right to defend itself . "

Question 6.  

A   " It seems unfair  that American taxpayers have been funding Israel's war , when due to budget restraints they cannot themselves enjoy the free healthcare and free education that Israeli citizens receive." 

B   " October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals and Israel has a right to defend itself ."

Question 7

A    " It is a tragedy that in the mayhem the Israeli Defense Force has killed many of it's own citizens , including hostages it was supposed to rescue ." 

B   " October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals  and Israel has a right to defend itself . " 

Question 8

A .  "  There is legitimate concern worldwide that Israel may provoke a much larger conflict in the region if a ceasefire is not negotiated . " 

B  October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals  and Israel has a right to defend itself " . 

Question 9 . 

A     "  Continuing the war in Gaza has caused hundreds of thousands of citizens to flee from Israel and provoked sanctions against Israeli exports , and attacks on shipping in the Red Sea that is damaging world trade . "

B.  "  October 7th was an unprovoked atrocity committed by human animals and Israel has a right to defend itself . "

You can now work out your score .  For each " B " answer , score 10 points .   For each " A " answer score zero points . 

A score of less than 100 points means you are a repugnant anti-Semite  and most likely also a Holocaust denier .    Hang your head in shame . 

Have a nice day . 

Your comrade , Ken

Reference:- Erstwhile Prime Minister of Australia , Mr Scott Morrison , was recently interviewed in Israel .

 Reference :-   Mr Morrison never disappoints us when interviewed by the press. 

Dear Mr Morrison , Sir , 

                                              It sure was nice to see you over there in the land of the Zionists doing your bit to represent the people of your electorate in Cook .   Mind you , Ken junior did notice that you have stacked on a few avoirdupois since the last time you graced our television screen .   Please dress suitably , a few pounds of adipose tissue hanging precariously from beneath a bullet proof vest are an easy target for one of those human animals that call themselves freedom fighters .  And occasionally the Israeli Army shoots the wrong unarmed defenseless civilian  ... we wouldn't want you to suffer that fate  . We need you back safely in Australia , where your assessment of world affairs is vital to our political discourse  .  

Nonetheless , I suppose you should make the most of the Kosher food while you are there , and save the sorely needed calorie restriction for your return .   There should be plenty of good tucker , since millions of people worldwide are boycotting Israeli produce .   I suppose that is to ensure that there is still plenty of fresh grub for the brave men of the Israeli Defense Force .   (  It almost bought a tear to my eye watching Israeli soldiers raise their flag on the Al- Shifa Hospital after overcoming the fierce resistance of the hospital staff and the patients .)  I daresay you aren't eating any of the disgusting muck that Arabs chow down on .  Anyway , according to Ken junior , the Palestinians don't have much food , and what they do have is being cooked unhygienically on open fires and served by people who haven't bathed for months . 

In times of conflict , intellectuals such as you , fairly overflowing with the milk of Christian values , are who we turn to for advice .  As you stated so courageously , those Israeli soldiers must press home their military advantage and destroy Hamas to the last man .   If a few thousand kids don't heed warnings to move to a safe place , who can be blamed if they ...errr ... become  collateral  damage?

The crazy left is always willing to believe the exaggerated claims of the Palestinians .  I mean honestly , if you watch the footage of the precision bombing in Gaza it is impossible to believe that 20,000 civilians have been killed .  Israeli sources claim the figure is much lower , perhaps as few as 15, 000 civilians , which certainly puts a different perspective on things . 

Anyway Mr Morrison , keep up the good work , and don't let talk of genocide make you waver .  I am sure the Australian media will be eager to interview you upon your return , since you are one of our most respected statesmen .  Take care .

Your comrade , Ken . 

PS    The Christian right in the USA are calling Israel's justified proportionate response a massacre that signals the second coming of Jesus Christ .  As a fully paid up member of a Pentecostal Church  , do you think this is true ?   If so I had better grab a copy of the bible , and clean some of those leftist malarkey tomes out of Ken junior's bookcase posthaste .
