going on. Meantime, Bibi managed to stirr the great powers enough to get out of their lethargy and start thinking about the Iranian menace. At long last. Yes, there is still 99% of hard, perilous work to do, but once the powers set to it, there is no telling how much and how far they can get against the Iranian mad ayatollahs.
32. Yes, Peter, your comment was indeed

published, but only to show what a stupid one it is. I only used your own word "stupid" and put it in the right place. Try harder next time for this one did not work at all !
33. Unlike some of the bloggers may think,

Bibi's move in the assembly hall of this redundant, backward, 66% Islamic institution was indeed very efficient if not brilliant. The fact that it is still on the major news programmes the world over only proves it even more so. For one thing it was a very good way of uncovering Iran's manifold lies, then the cartoon was extremely clear and to some extent comic. So what? Everyone knows that tons of serious discussions and attempts of convincing have never worked at the United Nations. So, why not a little bit of a Trojan Horse now and then? If it works this way and all the serious peace loving nations will start doing something against this 21st century Iranian peril, then it's worth every penny to show a cartoon now and then. It;s even entertaining !
34. No maxichoot, I don't think so !

35. It was a masterful stroke
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.29.12)
Truly it was. Ten weeks from today, who is going to remember any portion of the other speeches given at the United Nations? On another note, the bomb was precisely the same bomb as the cartoon drawing of Mohammed wearing a turban-cum-bomb that set the Moslem world alight a number of years ago. On still another level, it was Israel thumbing its nose at the stupidity and short-sightedness of the majority of the representatives in the General Assembly -- telling them in no uncertain terms that a cartoon-style drawing was more in tune with their intellectual capacity than a PowerPoint presentation -- a "know your audience" statement geared chiefly to the collection of buffoons that is, sadly, largely what the United Nations has become. All in all, it was brilliant. It was deliberately designed to get everyone's attention -- and it did. Moreover, like all successful cartoons, there is a very serious underlying note. Sheer brilliance!
36. #33 Delusional at best
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.29.12)
I have not seen one news bulletin in both the United States or the United Kingdom where the cartoon has taken centre stage. In fact in the United Kingdom, I have seen no news reports concernin itself with the ACME bomb or Wyle E Coyote interpreting the danger of Iran achieving parity with Israel through the medium of dance. Please do not believe the propaganda emminating from the Prime Minister's Office. If anything Netanyahu has muddied the waters when it comes to the 5 + 1's redline which is 20% enrichment not 90% as suggested by Netanyahu.
37. No36, first and foremost, please rid
Cartoonist   (09.29.12)
yourself of your fake name. You do not have even one inch blogger wisdom which the real Sarah B. has. Second of all, Bibi's speech did have a great impact everywhere will you or nill you. If Britain's press is quite cold vis-a-vis Israel's just cause of existence and quite warm vis-a-vis anything and everything Arab and West Bank or Gaza Arabs, it does not mean that others have treated this great UN speech with the same coldness of mind and heart. Don't be so bitter about it, accept Bibi's just case, fear the Iranian bombs and go on with your life. P.S. Save yourself from another answer. I will not open this page for another year.
38. 35, Dear Sarah, I couldn't agree more
Cartoonist   (09.29.12)
with what you wrote. On this note, please let your fake namesake know that your style and the content of your blogs are light years ahead of whatever he or she may dream to achieve on this site. Good luck to you and Hag Sucot Sameah, Cartoonist
39. A song for Bibi
Wyle E Cyote ,   Sydney Australia   (09.29.12)
"Everybody's laughing at me.........I can't hear a word they're saying......... only the laughter at my bomb".
40. To: No. 39
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.29.12)
I've got a song for you. The first line is "I'm a ringy wingy dingo ...." The rest doesn't much matter. Also -- please do learn to spell. After all, isn't English your native language? Wouldn't know it from your post, wherein your spelling is -- well -- laughable. Tie your kangaroo down, mate.
41. No exemptions for Israel, why even???
peter vojta ,   prag   (09.29.12)
What is so stupid about this coment? Israel has undeclared arsenal of WMD, Iran does not have one. Israels does not allow inspections, Iran is a member. Israel murders inside Iran, Iran does not.....etc. Is not Internacional law for ALL to obey? Why should World accept exemptions regarding these and other matters...Any crime against humanity made by Israel is blocked decades!!! by US "Knesset" lowers!
42. To: No. 41
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.29.12)
Iran has both chemical and biological weapons. They've even used them. That's one thing. For another, I note that you choose not to acknowledge that Iran has funded Hezbollah and Hamas -- who are responsible for the murder of Israeli citizens. Thirdly, I note further that you carefully refrain from mentioning that Iran was directly responsible for bombings in Argentina against Jewish targets, which killed many, and acts of terror against Israelis in Thailand, India and Africa. Is that your idea of compliance with international law? How about the invasion of the United States Embassy in Teheran in 1979? Is that, too, your idea of compliance with international law? You're nothing but a fool, Peter. Best shut up.
43. Buffoon makes a cartoon.

He will draw you picture. The three wise monkeys, don't speak, can't hear can they see. Ban could.
45. Israeli red line accepted
the Lord ,   Bajdocja   (10.01.12)
Refreshed Prime Minister of Israel Beniamin Netanyahu+ has made a impressiv show on this year UN General Assembly. The bomb he has showed - virgin of Israel - and rape of it made by Israeli has elecritcised world nations. Next year he will hold in his hands my Final Act that will end the nation of Israel. He has drawed abortional red line, just two weeks period , after which there was no point of return. It was just two pills to make a further talks possible but Israeli side has choosed two buttons on our plebiscite to dissolve nation of Israel. More: http://tautur.tumblr.com/post/32586314245
46. Must have a Plan B
R Narz ,   Toronto   (10.01.12)
if all else fails, take off your shoe and bang it on the table like Kruschev.
47. #37 'Sarah B'
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.02.12)
Bit of a formal ending. Could have settled it with "That's all folks"
