Its creator argued that the game is no different from numerous games that allow users to kill Arabs
If I can mow down Arab and Russians and Chinese soldiers in any number of American video games, why not Israelis?
The article talks about gushing blood and gruesome visuals as if CoD didn’t ask us to commit a terrorist attack in an airport 15 years ago. At least this game narrows your targets to IDF soldiers, according to the article.
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.
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:
Its creator argued that the game is no different from numerous games that allow users to kill Arabs
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.

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.
Shit Tankies say. Enjoy your Iran backed non profit cock that you love to suck so much.
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.
especially the most well documented genocide in history
Holy mother of Holocaust denial…
No one mentioned Iran, stay on topic.
It’s because right wing people are simping for and sticking up for Israel, and the IDF. Notice how in the Article it’s LibsOfTikTok who’s calling out the game and encouraging its removal from Steam?
Call of Duty for brown people. Dunno what’s the fuss.
“all violence inflicted on Palestine by Israel is self defense” is only true on opposite day and is only as true as the corollary because turnabout is fair play.
Never occurred to me before, but a legally recognized opposite day would be like the purge.
From the headline, I was ready to read about shooting civilians and bombing waterworks, schools and fucking hospitals. What a yawnfest bull-shit pile of a story.
No, that would be a game where you play as Israel.

OH MY GOD IT HAD TO BE A FUCKING BRAZILIAN!!! 😆😆😆😆
Also, as many on the thread pointed out, so did the creator:
Nijm has a point about the violence normalized in the video game industry; many of the most famous, lauded and widely-played video games feature graphic violence, often directed against Arab enemies. Call of Duty has several installments featuring Arab militant enemies, and it’s the entire plot of games like Six Days in Fallujah.
If only it wasn’t asset flip jank
