I remember reading about this game heralding a new era where you could “play the news” (a hilarious phrase that has been rattling around in my head for over a decade now). I think I booted it up once and clicked around for fifteen minutes way back when. Anyway it’s associated with a deeply embarrassing memory from college when I saw my friend Hichem standing in the main hall at a Palestinian students’ group poster board, and encouraged him to play this game “because it really lets you understand both sides” clueless

    Game difficulty if it wasn’t liberal drivel:

    Israel: Just do it. Less difficult than breathing.

    Palestine: Basically impossible, Israel won’t ever agree.

    they made us play this as a class in my synagogue’s sunday school.

    my parents also had a copy on their 2009 macbook since they work for the synagogue part-time and I remember almost exclusively choosing palestine when I booted it up, though i don’t exactly remember why as I was pretty indoctrinated at the time
