A scarce Israeli propaganda booklet published in Tel Aviv immediately after the 1967 Six-Day War, using caricature as a weapon of ridicule, triumph, and political framing. The publication gathers and reworks wartime cartoon imagery around Nasser, the Arab states, the Soviet Union, the United Nations, refugees, borders, and military defeat, turning the Israeli victory into a compact visual argument. Its tone is openly mocking, nationalist, and polemical, with cartoons staged as evidence of Arab humiliation and Israeli survival.
The booklet belongs to the fast-moving propaganda culture that followed the war, when printed satire, cartoons, and cheap illustrated booklets became tools for explaining victory to Israeli readers and reinforcing the image of Arab political collapse. The visual language is blunt and aggressive: chained bodies, broken armies, bloated leaders, snakes, coffins, borders, rockets, caricatured diplomats, and repeated images of defeat. It is not a neutral cartoon collection, but a postwar propaganda object designed to circulate the emotional afterlife of military victory.
