    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:

    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 don’t 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.

          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.

                  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.
