In the year following Hamas's rampage of 7 October 2023, MPs made 4,369 contributions in the chamber relating to Israel, more than double the National Health Service at 1,895; Russia's invasion of Ukraine was mentioned 1,449 times and Sudan only 225.

Le cifre corrispondono all'analisi pubblicata dal Jewish Chronicle sul periodo 7 ottobre 2023 - 18 ottobre 2024: 4.369 interventi in aula (Commons) relativi a Israele, 1.895 sul NHS, 1.449 sull'invasione russa dell'Ucraina e 225 sul Sudan. L'affermazione riproduce i dati in modo accurato (Israele piu' del doppio del NHS).
