What do you mean, you’ve had enough of the horrendous, sickening news?





'And as the conflict in Israel and Gaza enters its fourth week, we now bring you pictures of the carnage caused by an Israeli airstrike. And we can tell you that they're even more distressing than anything we’ve shown you before...


'Why are you turning off your television?


'Good, we’ve got you on the radio. These are the sounds from inside a hospital in Gaza City of grief-stricken mothers and fathers, wailing pitifully…


'Why are you hitting your radio with an axe? That’s not going to stop the war, is it?


'I see you’ve locked yourselves in the bathroom and are watching a video of an adorable puppy chasing its tail. We’re going to interrupt that to play you interviews with a Hamas leader and an Israeli politician, in which both try to justify slaughtering thousands of innocent civilians…


'No, don’t throw your device down the toilet. We forbid you to do that!


'And don’t light a bonfire with those newspapers before you've read them. Don’t you know how much trouble we take to bring all the horrifying details of this war right to your doorstep?


'We’ll stop at nothing, you know. We’ll hire town criers to shout this stuff at you in the streets.


'That's because reporting this atrocious conflict has made us all clinically depressed, so we’re damned well going to make sure that all of you are clinically depressed, as well.'

Israel claims they and Hamas 'were on a break'


With strikes and gunshots again heard in all across Palestine again, an Israeli spokesperson has claimed today that they and Hamas, 'were on a break.'


 'It’s all fine, we were on a break,' said Ben Bronten, an IDF official. 'We took some time out to see if we were over it all, and clearly we’re not. We both still have a lot of pent-up emotion, and that is going to come up in unexpected gunfire and missile strikes sometimes.”


He went on to point out that sometimes truces were fragile and the opposites sides would have the occasional flare-up.


'Look, sometimes passions lead to the re-blockading of aid; multiple rocket strikes on seemingly non-miltary targets; and a teensy-weensy bit of quasi invading. It’s perfectly natural. We’ll all be holding hands by November. As long as Hamas keeps their wandering eyes off those Hezbollah floozies.'

Trump thanks Israeli Knesset for electing him President


During the conclusion of US President Donald Trump's address to the Israeli Knesset, he raised the eyebrows of more than a few by thanking them for electing him President of Israel.


'It's so nice of you all to be here today,' he told the assembled representatives, 'it was a pretty difficult campaign but I think we deserved it. Some are saying no-one has ever been president of two different countries before but we did it. I did it."


Benjamin Netanyahu seemed shell-shocked but managed to just stare ahead with a fixed grin as Mr Trump thanked him for a good fight during a difficult time.


"With all the war stuff going on, perhaps Benny was distracted a little but I would have won anyway. The Israeli people love me. And I'm not even Jewish! They said it couldn't be done but I did it."


Mr Trump then went on to make Mr Netanyahu his deputy and told the room that he would pop in in a couple of months to see how everyone was getting along but would be catching up with 'Benny' a couple of times a week, golf rounds notwithstanding.
