Plenty of users made fun of the seemingly outdated technology in the presentation, wondering why Netanyahu hadn’t heard of flash drives – invented by Israel – and used one to store the documents, instead of shelves of binders and CDs. Others lamented the poor IDF soldiers who had to paste the CDs to the wall and lug around the binders for the display.Haredi journalist Moshe Weissberg joked that the room looked like “every charity in every Haredi city.”
"The Iranian regime has all of the old free AOL download disks and they are using them to build a nuke," joked former Jerusalem Post reporter Ben Hartman.כמו קופת צדקה בכל עיר חרדית pic.twitter.com/KZr7OUJiks

Billinson added in a recent, much talked about tweet from US President Donald Trump: "Thank you Kanye, very cool."
— Josh Billinson (@jbillinson) April 30, 2018Jewish Insider reporter Jacob Kornbluh called this "The most dramatic part of Bibi’s speech?" superimposing onto the screen the message "There was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia."
And Tablet magazine writer Yair Rosenberg went with "the most shocking revelation in Bibi's presentation today," having the screen read "Stormy Daniels is Mossad."The most dramatic part of Bibi’s speech? pic.twitter.com/UbhaqKpzwQ

Others offered a mashup with another Israeli Photoshop classic: Culture Minister Miri Regev's famous Jerusalem dress from last year's Cannes Film Festival. User Freddie the Bear posted an image of Regev in the dress, only this time the entire bottom half was printed with CD-ROMS.I'm surprised no one is talking about the most shocking revelation in Bibi's presentation today. It explains so much. pic.twitter.com/kvxmlOPdEt
