Samsung Electronics on Saturday condemned an Israeli commercial featuring a Samsung tablet, expressing dismay at Iran’s threat to ban its products over the apparently anti-Tehran teaser.
The South Korean electronics giant said it had not been involved in production of the TV spott, produced by Israeli cable TV cannel HOT.
HOT offered Galaxy tabs as gifts to attract new viewers and the advert was part of the station’s subscription campaign, Samsung said.

“As a member of the global community, Samsung is committed to demonstrating respect for all people and cultures around the globe,” it added.
Raw Story
If that's true, maybe I’ll be looking into Samsung products if I ever invest in another confuser. I do have a Samsung phone, but that wasn’t political – that was because it was the best phone on the market for me.
The commercial features Israeli Mossad agents in a rendezvous at a cafe near what appears to be an Iranian nuclear facility.
One of the agents, passing time at a table fiddling with a Samsung tablet and showing off its features to his comrades, inadvertently pushes a button on the device, setting off an explosion at the nuclear plant.
“What? Another mysterious explosion in Iran,” a comment follows.
Raw Story writers aren't always sophisticated, and I'm guessing the button wasn't pushed inadvertently. That wouldn't make sense. What would make sense is that it was pushed with a pretense of being inadvertent. Unless they're trying to say Iranian power plants are so poorly constructed that, like garage doors, random electronic equipment can cause problems. I doubt it. If I were a betting man, I'd say they're joking about Mossad attacks in Iran. If that's the case, they’ve managed to one-up George W looking under his desk for weapons of mass destruction in a video for the press party. I didn’t think it could be done.
