Israel Makes Sweet Weapon Love with India

Here's the scene: Israeli arms manufacturers want to slide a greasy tongue into the inviting crevices of Indian officials in charge of future purchasers. But they don't know how to make the first move. Twenty years ago it would have been a mix-tape with love songs. Today, it's a Bollywood style musical.

Sample lyrics:

I need to feel safe and sheltered,

Security and protection

Commitment and perfection

Defense and dedication

Are they singing about weapons or condoms?

Allegedly Hindi She: I believe in you

Very Israeli He: You believe in me

This is delicious. Anyone for a new falafel-curry dish?
