Netanyahu and The Bomb

Post by koan »

This is from his UN speech but I think it deserves its own thread.

If anyone dared to take him seriously before, the game is over now. The only realistic bomb in this event is the speech itself.

Two lines of thinking quickly emerged: Was this a poor choice of a ridiculous-looking oversimplified cartoon bomb, created decades before the invention of the Internet by someone with a limited understanding of bombs? Or was it a calculated choice of a ridiculous-looking oversimplified picture, created decades before the invention of the Internet by someone with a limited understanding of bombs -- in order to create the one indelible image of the afternoon that everyone would be talking about?
The best quote from this article is " as Jeffrey Goldberg noted, "With all the Jewish comic book talent out there, he had to draw a Wile E. Coyote bomb?" "

There is a lot more to what Mr N had to say but the Looney Tunes bomb just has to be recorded for posterity.
