Reference:- What the heck . I feel like posting something ridiculous . Will anybody care ...or even notice ?

Reference :-   Certain sections of media commentary have become so simple-minded that I thought we might as well relax , and partake in the high jinks  . 

Here at The Sky Reply we have encountered some very alarming statistics relating to the " troubles"  in Gaza .  Conservative media heroes , like those highly articulate examples of western intelligentsia , young Douglas Murray and his comrade Konstantin Kisin ,  have failed to draw our attention to these awful tallies . It is disappointing , since Douglas and Konstantin  are usually very fond of quoting numbers to support their scholarly essays .

Anyway , to those young chaps I will simply quote the economist Ronald Coase  . ( footnote to Douglas :-  He was British,  of course , so feel free to be impressed .  )  

" If you torture the data for long enough it will confess to anything . " 

However , to that I would add that first you must collect said data  ,which in this instance did not happen . 

 So here it is . 

 Since October 7 ( that memorable day during the 76 year war between Israel and Palestine ) , over 40,000 Palestinians have been slaughtered in Gaza .  Some were indeed Hamas fighters , although most were women and children .  During the same period , over 40,000 businesses have closed down in Israel because of the hostilities .

Obviously  one Palestinian dies for every Israeli business that goes to the wall . ( No pun intended ) 

There are over 2 million Palestinians , but Israel can only boast perhaps  700,000 businesses at best . 

Clearly Israel's businesses will all become bankrupt before Mr Netanyahu  can achieve his goal of ethnic cleansing . 

That is just simple mathematics . 

Furthermore , 500 thousand Israelis out of 10 million have been displaced , which is 5 % of the population . Yet only 2 % of the 2 million Palestinians have been slaughtered .  At that rate , by the time 100% of the Israelis have fled for their lives  , only 40% of the Palestinians will have been ......ahem .... cleansed from Gaza .  

 Mr Netanyahu appears to be ruining his own country faster than he is achieving  what the United nations politely refers to as " plausible " genocide . 

Once again , simple mathematics . 

I showed these calculations to Ken junior .  

" They make as much sense as Douglas Murray or Konstantin Kisin in an Oxford Union Debate " , Ken junior said . 

" Indeed so . " , I said .  

" What does that mean ?  " Ken junior  said . 

" My point exactly . " I said . 

Your comrade , 

 Ken .
