Being an Israeli myself, I think the portrayal of the chauvinist ex-military Israeli arms dealer is super spot onI’m about two years late, but I’m just now watching Who Is America? to gear up for the Borat sequel and holy shit, some of the stuff Sacha Baron Cohen persuades these legit elected officials to do on camera is absolutely wild. Apparently the representative at the beginning of the second episode had to resign in disgrace because of the stuff he did on the show.
Is Sacha Baron Cohen a genius with magical powers of persuasion or are these people just that dumb? I’m going to guess it’s a combination of both.
I've seen Sacha here and there in TLV while he was visiting his family. In real life he's actually a modest, introverted and polite person.
