Topic: Hawkes' Law?

"Yet the IDF not cited ?!" - in a discussion of possible corruption involving a British Member of Parluament.

It looks, then, as if we need what you might call an adjunct to Godwin's Law - which,  if I can remind you , says "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

So I propose a further law, as follows:

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Israel or Palestine, however itrelevant, approaches 1."

And we could call it Hawkes' Law.
