As a game, its not that bad, not great, but not that bad... and after reading through the 5 pages of comments, i realized something... people are idiots. Neither Israel or Hamas are right in this conflict, but its completely stupid to say that Israel is the (only) one in the wrong. They've tried to broker peace treaties, which end up amounting to the cessation of Israeli hostilities while Hamas continues attacking. Also, one thing to think about: if the people who say that they are against Israeli aggression are up in arms about the loss of life/civilian death toll, why didn't those same people speak up against the attacks against Israel?

sad propaganda through video games
i am Arabic i believe we should peacefully co exist
but ya the only reason my brothers are shooting at you is because you are taking their homes
i believe in the bible i know Israel was meant for the Jews but hey we both live their now you cant expect either of us to pack our bags and leave
religion an politics should be far far away from each other
also people fail to see Christianity is a sect of Judaism and Islam is a sect of Christianity
we all have similar beliefs so if its gonna be about religion why cant we all just get along :(

@nick41 its not a stupid reason and how did israel got arabs land ? by blowing their houses and everything they have then they buy(with USA tax money) the Property and add it to their country so arabs started the war and if they didnt fight for their land and fathers lands what should they do ? see the others farming and sleeping in their land?

Thank you so much for making this game. Now I truly understand the ideas behind the conflict in the middle east, and what we must do to stop it.

Wait a second, don't I get helicopters, satellite guided 500lbs bombs, tanks, billions of dollars military aid, iron dome, a wall, checkpoints? Not very realistic.

This game IS propaganda, whichever side of the debate you are on. I would say that it is in somewhat poor taste as well, and I cannot exactly agree with any of the previous comments. I would like to see the two sides reconcile, but unfortunately this appears to be an unending conflict. If anyone has a possible solution that does not require the eradication of a race I would love to hear it.

THis is the most stupid game I've ever seen.
Why it doesn't show starving children in Gaza or terrified mothers, which are refused acces to hospitals.
Why it doesn't show the brutal force of apartheid and depression that is used against the friendly hamas people and their brothers and sisters from Ramallah to Gaza and from Beirout to Sinai?

I thought this was a pretty good game. You learn about the cities, you learn about how fast rocket attacks can happen. Not bad.

If saving Israel was about setting alarms, I wouldn't have a problem. Between alarms and Iron Dome, damage from rockets is close to nill. But the game would be more realistic if you got points for unloading about 150 tons of explosives on Gaza where they don't have alarms or an Iron Dome or any means of escape. And make sure to show that the civilian casualties there from accidents are 15-20 times what the deliberate acts of terrorism from them produce.

seriously people, it is a game. i dont think anyone intended anything put on kong to be a sane political statement. yes the middle east conflict is very bad, but this game is showing man's ability to put aside bad things and have fun in the wake. it is human and natural. anyone posting here about the conflict and how bad it is needs to realise it is a game and comments made further to this should be based on the games merit and nothing else.

lmao...you call this a political game? more like...simplistic propaganda bullshit

Also... what's the deal. Am I the only one a little depressed that this game makes it look like Israel's the only one getting attacked? I seriously doubt they're sitting there getting pounded by rockets while not doing anything in return. They are not blameless. Give us armies and make this a proper game.

There's another game out there where your objective is to annihilate Palestinian hospitals and schools. If you run out of funds you click the phone icon to ask the USA for more money.

I love seeing the policy debate played out with serious games. I think it shows how well games can be used to illustrate one side of a debate. While I think a game that showed both sides' perspectives would be ideal, it would be only a little easy than peace between those two sides.
Here's hoping for freedom and health for all people living in the Middle East, regardless of their grandparents' last names.

@New2U2
Stop looking at games as simple diversions and toys and more as a form of journalism. Games aren't just used as a means of entertainment, but as a means of communication and understanding.
The flash game is replacing the political cartoon.

hell, there are good people from Israel and Gaza both, but in both countries the ones that are making the politics are bad

Putting the political crap aside, this game plain sucks. The most fun I had was letting the rockets blow the country away.

I don't really like message games. Especially when the message (in gameplay) is "This game is too hard, so you lose." Games designed to make you lose = bad
