| Syrian developed PC game simulates anti-Israel terror |
| 2004-10-22 |
| 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. Really? |

| #7 Think this "game" includes being rocketed by IDF helicopters or taken out by Israeli commandos as retaliation? I would doubt it. |

| #4 I wonder if it includes firing an anti-tank missle at a school bus filled with schoolchildren. Will it show little body parts flying all over the place. Sick. |

| #2 Well, the attacks in the game as described are on Israeli soldiers. That right there is a lot more humane than the palestinian terrorists are in real life to begin with; was the failed school bus attack yesterday or the day before? |

| #1 Afkar Media? Roumor is that it's controlled by The Mossad who use it to install back doors on the PCs of peaceful muslem gamers. |
