    Video games are now the norm in North America.
    Killing people in these games is the norm.
    This is now making the reality in Palestein an acceptical fact. It is just a game.
    So, if killing Palesteins is OK in a game is accepted. Why can’t we kill them in real life?
    Video games are now telling our children that the real world is not real.
    If the truth was told and these games were removed, these children would realise that the Palestinians are the persecuted race.
    Will it happen? NO!
    The Zionists love this media. It makes them innocent.
