From the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
A new video game for home computers is being developed in Syria which allows users to assume the role of Palestinians carrying out terrorist attacks on Israeli soldiers, including at least one suicide bombing.Entitled "Under Siege", the game is slated for release by the end of the year by Damascus-based Afkar Media, according to a report in the Beirut Daily Star.
Users will be able to simulate various types of attacks on Israelis, ranging from a teenage Palestinian armed with a slingshot to a 25-year old toting a machine gun.
In addition, one scene is said to depict a Palestinian female suicide bomber in Jenin who hands her child over to relatives before detonating a hand grenade in a crowd of Israeli soldiers.
Nonetheless, the game's developers insist that it is intended to promote non-violence.
"This is not a game about killing. We are telling a story," said Radwan Kasmiya, Afkar Media's executive manager, adding, "It's not about desperation, it's about sacrificing your life to let others live," he said.
Promoting non-violence? Not a game about killing? You gotta hand it to Kasmiya: he is a master.
When do we get our PC game called, " Pick-a-Palestinian" Where we get points for 'picking off' a palestinian -- eliminating the scourge of death worshippers from the human race?
Another example of intellectually and technologically bankrupt mussies using western tech to target westerners, eh. (And yeah, I mean Israel too. Its culturally closer to the west than to the mideast).
Dunno but seems to me that a video game explicitly targetting towelheads would come under anti-discrimination provisions in the west, huh?
Looks like fun. Who else is getting it?
*Raises hand*
Get off your highhorse Voletti.. we already have a dozen games where you can gun down arabs and muslims.
the game comes complete with spyware and gps enabling Mossad to imediately locate ISPS, copy the hards drives and if needed send rockets to the GPS locations!
Great idea!
the sad psychology of such a game is that in video-game lore, the protagonist (i.e. player first-person) has 3 chances to play before game over. i can imagine young kids playing the game, watching al jazeera, & somehow making the connection that they can pull off a suicide bombing in the real world, and yet show up to madrassa school again tomorrow w/ all of their buddies
We should create our own anti-jihad game, and call it "The War On Islam".
Wow, I'm full of novel ideas for this one. It'd be a first person shoot 'em up (a la "house of the Dead", "Time Crisis", and "Doom").
Level 1 : Afghanistan (take down the taliban) End of Level Boss : The Black Turban Crew.
Level 2: Iraq (Part 1-Topple Saddam....Part 2- Speed Up Al Sadrs meeting with his 72 sluts, and bomb the Iman Ali Swine-Shrine... Part 3- Blast the insurgency to frig), Boss 1: The Butcher Of Bagdhad (beware of his invisible WMD)
Boss 2: Porky Pig (aim for the head, bullets bounce right off his swine-gut) Boss 3: Al Zarqawi (Special Attacks - "allahu akhbar head slice"...watch out for hostages heads being hurled at you).
Level 3: Beslan (Liberate the school... a particularly difficult level where the enemies shoot you min the back, and use children as sheilds).... Boss: Chechen Rapist Filth
Bonus Round:Israel (Sit on the wall with a rifle as a horde of suicidle lunatics with bombs attached to their chests charge from Gaza towards Israel, and shoot as many of them down as possible...TIP- Aim for their bombs, this will cause a beutifully gory chain reaction)
Level 4: Back In the Good old US of A (CIA inteeligence reports that John Kerry is actually Bin Laden in Disguise, prevent the democrats winning at all costs.... be especially cautious of back stabbing attacks from liberals posing as friends, and Michael Moore's Roll of Gluttony attack.... also be aware on this level that liberals are just as dangerous as muslim terrorists)
Boss:Osama Bin Kerry
Microsoft should get right on it, doncha think???
