Move Over Special Forces 2, It's Civilian Escape!

First, I have to give credit where credit is due. I caught wind of this game from Hot Air's blog archive. http://hotair.com/archives/2007/08/16/hezbollah-releases-video-game/



Special Forces 2. It's purpose is to recreate the violent feud between the Lebanese guerrilla groups and Israel. The trailer shows a Israeli tank moving through a digital landscape of badly mapped Lebanese street, then inevitably blows up. Above the video suggests that the video game developers are a few years behind, but what does it matter? What other game in the world can you blow up Israeli soldiers? What other game in the world is trying to take a child's past-time and use it as pure propaganda to insure violence and war for many more centuries. That's right! Special Forces 2. Minimal, but still manages to effectively display true anti-semetism digitally. Surprisingly enough, the sequel will feature the war that occurred last year after two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped. Quoted on CNN.com, 158 Israelis were killed during the war and 1,200 people in Lebanon were killed. A majority of the 1,200 people were claimed to be civilians. Even though the casualties in Lebanon were extraordinarily high compared to Israel, Hezbollah regards this battle as a major military victory. Logic will take a back seat. Let's do some math...

1,200 divided by 158 = 7.59.

For every 1 Israeli soldier that dies, there goes roughly 7.5 Lebanese.

I have a great idea for a game. Let's create a game called Civilian Escape where everyday ordinary people get caught between the meaningless bullsh*t hate of two countries and the object is to dodge randomly fired missiles from both Hezbollah and the Israeli army. Halo 3 would be futile in comparison.
