`Attack “Israel”` video game – or resist "Israeli" occupation with resistance, resistance & more resistance

Images of "Israeli" settlers’ children autographing bombs as gifts “from Israel” to Lebanese children, have not yet died from world memory, images that shocked the world during "Israel’s" violent assault on Lebanon, during the July 2006 war.
Nothing is more sinister than such endorsement and encouragement of the innocent to target the innocent.
Yet Yesterday the father of captured “Israeli” soldier Ehud Goldwasser slammed Hizbullah after it released a computer game that gives the surviving children an insight into last summer’s war with “Israel” and the capture of his ‘son’, the occupation army soldier, responsible for some of the most horrendous crimes against Lebanese civilians including kidnapping of Lebanese civilians and illegally transporting them across Lebanon’s international borders and keeping them for decades in torturous conditions against UN resolutions and world opinion.
The captured "Israeli" ‘son’-soldiers were to be used as bargaining chips to force a prisoner-exchange with "Israel", some Lebanese prisoners have spent over a quarter of a century in "Israeli" captivity.
"Israel" used the soldier’s capture as a pretext to settle scores with the successful Lebanese occupation-resistance, Hizbullah, who drove the "Israeli" out from much of the Lebanese territory in year 2000, after 18 years of deliberate and sustained resistance.
That marked a painful blow to the occupation, its personnel and image of the undefeatable army.
The captured soldiers were “Israel’s” excuse to launch a 34-day offensive.
In their long fight against the occupation’s horrendous practices the resistance group now launched a Special Force 2: Tale of the Truthful Pledge last week, giving gamers the chance live moments of the glory experienced by the mujahiden in their long fight against the Zionist entity and taking "Israeli" occupation soldiers captive.
Ehud’s father, Shlomo, told TJ: “These people did it before and they will do it in the future. They kidnapped my son (Zionist occupation soldier) and they could kidnap anyone.”
The PC game, launched by Hizbullah’s Central Internet Bureau at an exhibition in Beirut last Wednesday, is the sequel to Special Force, released in 2003 which also celebrated resistance against “Israel”.
Hizbullah legislator Hussein Haj Hassan said: “It is not only a game, it is an education and culture and it is part of the confrontation because the American and the Western companies created games featuring us as terrorists and it is widespread on the market. This achievement is an addition to the tools of resistance and confrontation.”
The game is on sale in markets and computer shops in Lebanon, Syria, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates for $10 (£5) and is reported to be selling in its thousands. It was designed by Lebanese computer game developer W3dtek. A spokesperson for the company said that it won’t be on sale in the UK, but a copy could still be sent by post. Unaware he was talking to a journalist, he said: “It won’t be released in the West because of political reasons but I could still send you one.”
A spokesperson for the “Israeli” Embassy in London avoiding any mention of “Israel’s” occupation practices, claimed: “The game is typical of Hizbullah’s policy of inciting hatred and violence in children.”
Lorna Fitzsimons, Chief Executive of BICOM also joined the fanfare of denial by blanking out of his memory of "Israeli" children autographing bombs in a military zone, chose to focus on the video game by adding: “Unfortunately this violent propaganda targeted at children is nothing new – who can forget the shocking images of the Mickey Mouse character on Palestinian TV. It is desperately sad for all sides that this cycle of violence continues. The next generation of children is being brutalised by seeing images of war and death and that is so unhelpful.”
