Iran Publishes Anti-Israel Videogames

[TheBelgianGuy]

*Shakes head* Oh Iran, why is it that everything you do and make only fuels more hate and rage? Well at least your citizens are trying to do better, as for your government... yeah lets not get into that.

One of the games, Assault on Freedom Convoy is based on the Gaza Flotilla Raid that resulted in the deaths of nine Turkish activists.

Something tells me that this is going to piss us Turks off.

The actual raid that killed said Turks did indeed piss them off. This game, I would imagine, would be glorifying their sacrifice as well as painting Ze Jews as baby eating, bicycle stealing, land grabbing, peace hating infidel pig-dogs.

Just an educated guess.

And the Turks will still be pissed off, rightfully so, because it makes them (or more precisely, the people who have been on those ships) a vehicle for the Iranian propaganda.

It's interesting that both this and the Austrian anti-mosque game are in the news the same day. I think this shows us that even politicians and regimes have by now grasped the power video games could have ad will now try using them for their own goals.

Actually, I think the Turks you're referring to are the ones buying this game.

Well, it didn't take long for the movies to be used for the same purpose. Nazi progaganda, Soviet propaganda, capitalist propaganda,... They've all had their movies. If there had been computer games at the time, you can bet your house on it that mister Goebbels would've sponsored anti-soviet computergames.

 

[Borntolose]

Is it strange that I actually would want to play those?

 

[rebus_forever]

Well America has been publishing anti-Russian games for years - I don't see the problem

^^^

Once again Iran found a way to transform a form of entertainment into a tool of war or Propaganda element...

Fanatism is horrible! the worst thing is that you cannot negociate with one because a Fanatic thinks he has the absolute truth with God at his side... i can't still believe there's people thinking like in the middle ages, that's just sad.

then you'll start seeing games that allow you to wipe off Iran with carpet bombing...

bah those guys have no selfrespect, first they insult and criticize other people's countries (for example: France with carla bruni which they call a Hooker and would want to Lapidate (death by stone throwing) her) by comparing them with their own country's rules, which is obviously the biggest mistake made by mankind since the Evolucionist concepts who were distorsionated for Economical gain and Conquest purpose.

Remember what Khadafi said also in several speechs in his own country's assembly:

- he declared Jihad against switzerland just because one of his sons was thrown out of the country (suspected of hitting and trying to violate a female employee of the hotel).
- also he said there would be a Peaceful Invasion of Europe thanks to the immigration, not of integration, but of Population, (this term means that a specific group don't want to follow a country's rules but instead is somehow put appart from it in ghettos so to speak) and he added that Turkey would be his "trojan horse" for it.


Judge for yourself, get informed.

Like last time when they... uhm... what?

Btw if you say "Iran" here, (like the article does, which I'm very fucking disappointed of) you will have to say "America" when a bunch of Neonazis, who happen to live in America, once more released a Nazigame that is purely based on hatred against other, more successful people.

Fanatism is horrible! the worst thing is that you cannot negociate with one because a Fanatic thinks he has the absolute truth with God at his side... i can't still believe there's people thinking like in the middle ages, that's just sad.

True, it's exhausting.

"The young generation must find out about the Zionist regime,"

I'm sure the young generation of Iran already hates Israel more than enough without propaganda games.

This kind of reminds me of when the Klu Klux Clan made anti-Mexican games.

Maybe Israel will answer this by making anti-Iranian cupcakes.

Actually, they'll just respond by doing what they were already planning before: bomb the shit out of Iran come Spring.

It's true: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1969/12/the-point-of-no-return/8186/

 

[TheBelgianGuy]

Well gee, that magazine says it, so it must be true!

edit: to clarify, I doubt Israel will actually do a large scale attack on Iran. I doubt their allies would support them if they'd start the war. Also, they know probably all other countries around them will rather support Iran than Israel. Hell, they just lost their biggest strategic partner in the area, Turkey!

Maybe send some Mossad to kill all their scientists or some other crazy plan. But full scale war? don't know...

well, yeah you're right, not all irani peeps are like that, only those who are in favor of their form of "government" who thinks that dancing and listening to other countries music is forbidden and punishable by death in that Theocratic Dictatorship.

Thats a /thread

and

I have never liked Israel and (flame shield activated) I personally think it was a mistake in the first place.
on the other hand, I like Iran even less...basically, I'm not really in a position to judge here because I'm biased against both of them.

Two countries are duking it out over who can commit the most crimes against humanity without alienating their allies.

P.S. I'm obviously talking about the governments and I do not hate all Jews and Shia muslims.

This is my opinion.

I'm sorry, all these politically charged topics are making me hungry.

I referred to the Turks as the general population of Turkey. In the last few years, Turkey seems to have played the role of a moderate negotiator in the Middle East. Sure, a lot of Turks probably don't like Israel because of how it treats the Palestinians, but that is true for a lot of people around the world. But the official stance of Turkey seems to be more or less pro-Israel, which makes sense as there are various political, economical and otherwise connections between the two countries.

Can't argue with you second part, though.

Anti-Israeli bastards, I hope they die in a fire

Funny how they share the same sentiments about Anti-Iranians. My point is, they are not even remotely trying to demonize Israelis, but the actions of the IDF, and that's probably to a certain extent.

And there's not information about what these games will be about, are you going to be one of the Turkish activist on the flotilla as the commandos rappel down the boat and mercilessly execute you and your buddies? Or is the player going to be some sort of spectator in the whole ordeal?

And for the second game, well, it's not the US doesn't have a certain "sniper" game to take down Iranian troops. Couldn't remember the name of it.

Israelis are only ever "anti-Iranian" because the president and the ayatolla want nothing less than to wipe Israel off the face of the earth....with nuclear weapons

Wow, you really believe that? Any monkey (not you) with an iota of common sense know before that Iranian 'nuclear missile' (if ever they had one) even got in mid-air, Israel (have nukes) has the tech to turn Iran into a parking lot.

No, with lox and bagels. Cupcakes are the post-bombing dessert.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

These games will be boring.

And there's not information about what these games will be about, are you going to be one of the Turkish activist on the flotilla as the commandos rappel down the boat and mercilessly execute you and your buddies?

I imagine it will be an all-out assault, with gunships and torpedo-planes, plus submarines, with you trying to survive the evil Israelis as they fire mustard gas designed primarily for dissolving babies born to anti-Israeli parents into the boat, decimating the entire flotilla (they also fire sixpack rings into the ocean as they leave to kill Palestinian nautical wildlife), despite the fact that this only happened on one boat, and the activists supposedly attacked first on that one boat.

Yeah you may not see the problem because you're an unfunny dumbass, but there's actually a difference between games that feature Russians as enemies and games that openly propogate the idea that Jews are bad. As someone of Russo-Jewish decent, this comment makes me wanna facepalm.

You and I know that, but if suddenly Ahmadinezjhad (spelling, I know) comes up with the idea that God will destroy the Israeli nukes before they land... well... Mad men aren't predictable.
(If Iran had any nuclear missiles, which we don't really know.)

 

[Ziggy the wolf]

honestly this whole thing is stupid and would rather not have this shit floating around in the video game universe. this isnt the first propaganda video game just one that a country made and think people wanna play. honestly none will come out stateside because we are allies with israel and we are just waiting for the middle east to implode in upon its self which we all can see is coming. the other hate game i can think of is ethnic cleasing game made by a white supremacist metal label

kinda sounds like you are. But that (percieved) insult aside you've gotta take into account the increasing Anti-Israeli sentiment and the fact that the UN very well could force them to disarm if that sentiment is taken on by enough nations
