Why I Love Israel's New Iran "Stop the Bomb" Ad

(Times of Israel) David Horovitz - Bezeq, Israel's national phone company, debuted a new TV ad featuring entertainer Gidi Gov flying into "Tehran" airport and ending up in a room full of Iranian ayatollahs and military chiefs counting down to the launch of a nuclear strike. They have just chorused "three, two, one" and a general's palm is about to press down on the red button, when Gov urges, "Stop the bomb!" and, amazingly, they do stop, to hear his sales pitch. It's a silly ad satirizing the Iranian nuclear threat, precisely when the real Iranians are threatening us and calling for our annihilation. But it underlines that even in the face of Iran's murderous zealotry, we're not going to give up our sense of humor. I wonder whether the Iranian leadership are smart enough to internalize the confidence it exemplifies. Just one more reason why we're going to outlast Khamenei and his dangerous, humorless regime.
