If this wasn’t so horrible - both artistically AND ideologically - it would’ve been hilarious. On the eve of the formation of Israel’s new ultra-right wing government comes the news that Israel is now the leading weapons supplier to India (beating out former champion, Russia). How did the Israeli arms dealers do it? Here’s a clue: one of Israel’s leading arms manufacturers produced this atrocious Bollywood style infomercial, promoting its various types of missiles. As a skit on SNL it might’ve been funny, but in reality - when actual missiles are actually sold, and then used as deterrence against neighboring Pakistan - this is gut churning. And this is without mentioning how awful the “Bollywood” homage is. The Indians should sue Israeli arms dealers for defaming their culture.
What next? Using Tom Cruise to promote cruise missiles?
