Benjamin Netanyahu’s ‘Red Line’ Lambasted On Twitter

During his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again emphasized upon the completion of Iran’s nuclear program and how it threatens the peace and stability of the Middle East.

However, this time his style of explaining the gravity of the situation was quite unusual. In a highly unexpected move, Netanyahu wielded a prop to illustrate his point: he literally drew a red line across a poster that displayed the image of a bomb.

As we might have expected, the red line act by Netanyahu provided a few Twitter users the opportunity to mock the display. Also, it didn’t take much time for internet to come up with some hilarious memes to make Netanyahu a sensation on the internet. Take a look at some of them:

Jeffrey Goldberg, National Correspondent from The Atlantic (@JeffreyGoldberg) tweeted:

Okay, it's official: #Netanyahu has no idea what he's doing. He has just turned a serious issue into a joke.

Yousef Munayyer, Executive Director, The Palestinian Center (@YousefMunnayer) tweeted:

And just yesterday I thought how could we ever replace the silly UNGA antics of Gaddafi, now we know.

Comedian Rob Delaney (@robdelaney) tweeted:

Jesus Christ, apparently Netanyahu took a chart-making course from Paul Ryan: twitter.com/AJELive/status… #BushLeague

Tweets lambasting Netanyahu’s speech were quickly followed by some interesting memes that really made Netanyahu an internet celebrity. Here are some of the funniest ones:

Well, since Netanyahu is so good at drawing lines and marking boundaries, I think he will be a good pick for NFL whenever again the football league decides to hire part-time refs.
