Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pretty much gave the world a deadline extension, and we’re probably going to have to bomb Iran enrichment facilities in April 2013 (wanna come for Pesach?) I’m going to skip the seriousness of the dire warmongering situation here at the UN General Assembly 2012 and instead enjoy some relaxing tweets and bomb diagrams.
And really, where would we all be if Bibi wasn’t around to show us how to draw red lines? Wherever we’ll be this time next year if, well, Bibi doesn’t show us how to draw red lines.
So I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised Bibi had to resort to his kindergarten teacher voice in order to explain. very. slowly. and. carefully. what. might. happen. if. Iran. ok, you get it.
Thank GOD @HarryR got a screenshot, because the RoadRunner bit happened so fast we all might have missed it:

And @ZNovetsky gets a snort:
After listening to Abbas & Bibi's speeches at UN, and considering the role the UN's played, I'm optimistic about peace, said no one ever.

Coincedence that this tweet came out during the speech? (Or actually happened on this date during WWII, as the @RealTimeWWII twitter account goes?)
Occupying Nazi authorities in northern France announcing a new racial census: all Jews, Gypsies & other "sub-humans" must register.

Speaking of, ouch. Fox considers itself a friend of Israel? (via @ZNovetsky again)
FoxNews, instead of using the cartoon bomb photo, chose the worst alternative: Bibi, mid-heil: pic.twitter.com/ZP3C5q3l

And then I finally figured it out…

Thankfully, @AviMayer shared the breaking news we had been sorta expecting:

And, a serious one, just because… it is serious.
