Game explanation
This is an arts-and-crafts game, depicting one of several photography exhibitions in Jerusalem that displayed victims of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without labeling their ethnicity. (We are all human, and we all die so easily.) It's about how regular working people, both Palestinian and Israeli, are the main victims of the occupation / conflict. Powerful interests (Netanyahu, AIPAC, Hamas) are more concerned with preserving their wealth than making sure their own people don't get blown up. Endless war is good for business, and it preserves the status quo. This is a big-picture anti-capitalist take on the situation, since the occupation is driven as much by capitalism as it is driven by racism and theocracy.
