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 .
