Hezbollah launches propaganda video game
August 17, 2007
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=1209&blogid=4
Fans of Islamist propaganda and poor-quality graphics will be pleased
to hear that Hezbollah has launched a sequel to its Special Force
video game.
Special Force 2, which the Lebanese paramilitary organisation
launched yesterday and is available for the equivalent of £5, is
based on a real-life 34-day war that took place between Israel and
Hezbollah forces last year. Players take on the role of a Mujahid - a
Hezbollah soldier - and win points for destroying Israeli tanks and
troops.
Sheikh Ali Daher, Hezbollah's media officer - yes, they've got a
media officer - said: "This game presents the culture of the
resistance to children: that occupation must be resisted and that
land and the nation must be guarded."
Stirring stuff, if somewhat provocative. Well, extraordinarily
provocative. And it seems unlikely that Special Force 2, which is
produced by volunteers, will either top the sales charts in Tel Aviv
or win any prizes for taste. But it's worth pointing out that this
isn't the first openly propagandistic army simulation by any means -
and we're not talking Special Force Part 1. America's Army, for
example.
Winning points for recreating a bloody real-life conflict? Nasty. But
we shouldn't base our judgements on the political affiliations of the
makers.
(If you want to check out the graphics, take a look at these
pictures, which are reportedly of Special Force 2.)
