Game On War In Syria Explores Ongoing Conflict
arclightfire writes "So while games have come under spotlight via the debate about the causes of the tragic school shootings in the U.S., it is worth remembering that games are now a broad medium and far from all games are FPS games. Even those about war are not now just about shooting, as Endgame:Syria shows by covering an ongoing war; 'The subject matter for Endgame: Syria should not however be looked on from a trivialized angle; people and civilian casualties are dying every day over in Syria.'" The game is part of a series from Auroch Digital.
Hmm, the Falcon series of flight sims featured Israel as a combat theatre. There are very many paper wargames (ya know, old style) that feature conflicts in the Middle East. So it appears you are pretty ignorant - and what appears to be your attempt at anti-Zionism has failed.
Since you are ignorant here's a capsule history in 5 minutes that explains the situation in the Middle East, from Purdue University. The situation is very simple and clear. It is the resolution that is complex. How do you defuse intrinsic hatred of Islam for all non-Mulims? solve that and you will solve all the Islam created problems in the Middle East; eg. Islam vs unbelievers like Europe; Iranian Shia Islam vs Arabian Shia Islam; Islam vs Christians in Iraq, Syria and Egypt; Islam vs animists on Sudan; Islam vs Israel; Islam vs the US; etc etc:

Unfortunately the United Nations can't be relied on to sort it out, for the following reason:

Furthermore, the UN is attempting to outlaw Free Speech by disabling our ability to cricitise the flaws in any religion (but specifically, the barbarism of Islam):

The political Left are usually helpful watchdogs, but they are no help either (they are so anti-American as a vestige of Cold War reasoning, that they excuse the totalitarian imperialism of the Islamists who seek to impose a new global Caliphate):

So, your statement is a bit of a fail. It simply shows you know nothing about gaming/wargaming (the Middle East is covered extensively) and probably have a poor grasp of the situation in the region (and it turns out, the World, since the goal of the jihadis is to conquer the World once they've crushed Israel).
