As part of his effort to trick conservative activists and lawmakers into embarrassing themselves on his Showtime series Who is America? , Sacha Baron Cohen presented a fake pro-Israel award to an array of political figures called "70 at 70." On behalf of a non-existent Israeli outlet called "Yerushalayim Television," Cohen's team told its unsuspecting victims they were being honored for their "significant contributions to the State of Israel."
