This video game has users play as Palestinians killing IDF soldiers on Oct. 7
A new video game allows users to play as Palestinians killing IDF soldiers on Oct. 7; but aren't most video games violent?
Its creator argued that the game is no different from numerous games that allow users to kill Arabs
You're viewing a single thread.
If I can mow down Arab and Russians and Chinese soldiers in any number of American video games, why not Israelis?
The article talks about gushing blood and gruesome visuals as if CoD didnât ask us to commit a terrorist attack in an airport 15 years ago. At least this game narrows your targets to IDF soldiers, according to the article.
Also, the game historically has had ~25 concurrent players at any given time. I donât think this game is as important as certain people would want you to believe.
To be fair, there was an awful lot of controversy about that CoD mission at the time.
True, but it still exists. Obviously the controversy wasn't THAT big of a deal
I would even argue the controversy about it is the point. It's art. It's meant to make you think about things you might not ever consider, and in the case of No Russian, it's the horror of committing a terrorist attack. Imo, it's an intentional but valuable (both financially and ethically) lesson in what art can do
Yeah, that's not the best example. I think the ac-130 mission is a much better example because I don't remember it getting a lot of controversy despite it being pretty non-chalant about you decimating the ground forces like it was just another day in the office (or rather in the air). It's the ultimate "dehumanize the enemy" mission because you could replace the targets with pretty much anyone and the mission would play exactly the same.
It's because right wing people are simping for and sticking up for Israel, and the IDF. Notice how in the Article it's LibsOfTikTok who's calling out the game and encouraging its removal from Steam?
Edit: For people not in the know LibsOfTikTok is an alt-right American internet personality, and also apparently a news curator now. They push a lot of anti-trans hate and alt-right talking points on Twitter, and they're probably a terrorist too.
I can't speak for every case of those game's and their stories and missions, especially since I don't play CoD, but the majority of those targets you're shooting at are actual terrorist groups.
And with statements like:
Its creator argued that the game is no different from numerous games that allow users to kill Arabs
He's basically equating Palestinians, or Arabs, with Hamas. So he is basically saying that Palestinians / Arabs are all terrorists, just like he's basically saying the IDF are terrorists. At that point he might as well go the next step and add the ravers to slaughter and rape.
Also, the game historically has had ~25 concurrent players at any given time. I donât think this game is as important as certain people would want you to believe.
Certain people? Who?
The IDF is objectively, by every definition, a terrorist organization. And the US, EU, Israel, and other such white settler countries already paint all arabs and Palestinians as terrorists.
Oh and for good measure, Hamas isnt a terror org. It's a non profit created by a guy whose family was killed by terrorists.

An organisation whose main ambition is the destruction of an entire nation and its people is not a terrorist organisation?
Correct, the destruction of a nation that has no right to exist and has spent its entire existence commiting ethnic cleansing and genocide. That's not terrorism, that's fighting for freedom.
So you think Israel is responsible for genocide, yet your solution to that is to... kill them all.
Do you not see the irony here?
No right to exist as a nation doesn't imply the death of every citizen
lol
No one ever said that, the nation needs to be destroyed. The people were fine without the nation.
No one ever said that
Mate, you think on Oct. 7th they just planned to dismantle the borders & government? You seriously think from the river to the sea means to live peacefully next to Jews? Unless you're for a two state solution, you're supporting genocide. Simple as that.
Palestine has hosted Jews for longer than Judaism has existed, continuously. The removal of a Jewish supremacist fascist state commiting genocide does not in fact mean genocide.
Hamas has been exceedingly clear in its goals, so has every other Palestinian movement; elimination of the fascist state.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Shit Tankies say. Enjoy your Iran backed non profit cock that you love to suck so much.
If your family was kidnapped tortured, or in the best case scenario killed, every day, for longer than anyone in your family remembers, and will be for as long as you choose to stay alive, you might want to fight. There's a reason Holocaust survivors tend to avoid Israel, bad memories.
Oh yeah? Does that also apply to the killings of the butcher of Khan Younis? Or the that of the theocratic regime in Iran? Or the rocket strikes of Hezbollah? Or the massacre of the rave on Oct. 7th? Just trying to figure out which murders you deem justified.
There's a reason Holocaust survivors tend to avoid Israel, bad memories.
As if you care about holocaust survivors, considering how you people abuse Jews outside of Israel and end up defacing holocaust memorials for your agenda.
You keep changing the subject, so I'll just end with; until Israel stops committing genocide, especially the most well documented genocide in history, it will keep getting attacked. That's how oppression works, the oppressed fight back. Something no living Israeli knows.
especially the most well documented genocide in history
Holy mother of Holocaust denial...
The Holocause was most well-documented by the perpetrators. That's why The Diary of Anne Rice was so exceptional. Those who survived it were not prone to talk about it much for years afterwards.
The survivors of the current genocide are begging us to notice the deaths of the victims we are seeing all-but-live on camera. Cameras held by both them and IDF soldiers boasting about it, no less. Nazi Germany would have loved someone so prone to looking away as you.
The Holocause was most well-documented by the perpetrators.
Yeah, let's just ignore the process taking place for literal decades that came after WW2.
The survivors of the current genocide are begging us to notice the deaths of the victims we are seeing all-but-live on camera.
By spitting onto the mangled, half naked corpses of the festival? Torturing, raping and murdering all those innocent hostages? Enslaving & raping innocent women? Trust me, I've seen it.
Nazi Germany would have loved someone so prone to looking away as you.
Funny, because I'm not the one who is ignoring one side of the story while painting Israel in some sort of boogeyman way. Maybe add some bat wings or rat features onto them for good measure, so that we can see even more clearly where your Jew hatred comes from. You fuckers did not give a shit about Palestine before Hamas slaughtered those people, giving Israel a casus beli, and you don't care for any other genocides around the globe either - unless they somehow become the next media drama that you can latch onto to show the internet how much you care about those people. Pathetic and narcissistic, but sure as hell no excuse for terrorist simping.
That "process" in the decades following WW2 was the creation of Isreal and various countries exporting their Jewish populations to Israel. Personally, I would rather have Jews as neighbors than shove them into a foreign land stolen from others with targets on their backs, but do go on.
Meanwhile, October 7th rapes we have "reasonable grounds" to believe in, according to the UN, while most Israeli hostage deaths are attributable to The Hannibal Directive, and IDF soldiers literally boast of rapes and such on-line.
The only one simping terrorsists here is you. I'm not denying anyone's crimes, but you want to use some crimes as an excuse to deny the visible evidence of others. Israeli citizens have been tricked into scape-goating themselves in the Middle East on behalf of Western countries, and all you will focus on is the brown people who want their land back being "inherently evil".
By your reasoning, I should move back to the US southwest and bitch at some natives for ever speaking a language other than English. Nevermind their people lived there for thousands of years, I was born there, so my claim is legit to, right? As if.
No one mentioned Iran, stay on topic.
