Death by chocolate: Selling war with Iran to Israelis one ad at a time
Israelis are being sold on war with Iran in more ways than one.
In a commercial featuring John Cleese (a veteran of the zany British comedy shows, Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers),
a high level general takes a taste of a delectable chocolate and
hazelnut spread and inadvertently sets in motion an Israeli military
strike on an unnamed country — Iran by implication and context — a
command that the Israelis have been waiting for and are eager to carry
out.

Whatever... War with Iran is inevitable just like Iraq. A decade down the line we'll find out it's all bullshit too.

The General says: 'Sababa Egozim'
“Sababa” means “cool” in Israeli slang (taken from the Arabic, like many Hebrew slang words) and “egozim” are “nuts.” Put together, though, the term is slang for “super cool” or “hell yeah.”
Believe it or not John Cleese has stooped as low before...as those who know the crappy Supermarket Asda will remember

HO,Man- This is a fucking joke!! Like Monthy Python were never making fun out of very serious struff (Jews,Church ect).... Cmon!
Israelis now days are very tense from all the talking about a coming war- This add was meant to have some fun and relax a little.
You chose to present it in a very specific "anti-Israel" way, as usual.
I also intendend to bring this here, so with your permission I'll bring this as well, with my text, lets see what the style of the comment More..

When I first saw this, couple of weeks ago, I was simply amazed to actually see John sitting there.
Of course his serious expression amuzed me.
Many Commercials usually have this crappy style, this is not an exception, still to actually see him sitting there, in this little Israeli commercial really amuzed and suprised me.
As I said- let me bring this again, this time with out the "Look at Bad evil Israel wants to kill" propoganda shit all around, just like it rea More..
