    Published four years after the establishment of the State of Israel, Those Were the Days... is an early Israeli propaganda object in the form of political satire. Its cartoons consolidate a state-aligned narrative of the 1948 war and its aftermath, presenting Arab political and military actors through hostile caricature while framing Israeli austerity, militarization, immigration, rationing, and civic discipline as necessary components of national survival.

    The book’s trilingual format suggests a readership beyond Hebrew-speaking Israel, positioning its visual and ideological message for international circulation. Its humor is therefore not incidental. It functions as a persuasive tool, translating war, scarcity, and state-building into accessible scenes of ridicule, endurance, and patriotic consensus.
