The cartoon of a bomb that Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu displayed two weeks ago at the UN has become a target of ridicule. Israeli online parodies hammered the prime minister.

Bibi's bomb did not bomb. That image told a complete story at just a glance - and was carried in every major Western news outlet (most often on the front page). Even some of the Arab media ran the photo. It might have looked like a cartoonish prop that Wile E Coyote had prepared, but it successfully elevated this discussion to a global and meaningful level. It was a brilliant PR move.
thank you
