With plans to evacuate Jewish settlers in the West Bank soon to be activated, it just makes sense that someone would create a game for it. “Wild West Bank”, launched by a coalition calling itself “Back to Israel” was downloaded 20,000 times in its first three days, according to Ha’aretz. The challenge a player (acting as an Israeli sheriff) must face is to take down settlements, while settlers constantly set up new communities as soon as they’re removed. Try and drag thesettlers back to Israel: as soon as you do, more homes pop up on the same spot. It’s a game that’s impossible to win. Oy.
This cute film may be a bit off-topic, but anything that combines talking vegetables with Star Wars satire to illustrate the dangers of genetically modified foods is kosher by us.

those settlers are a clever bunch. thought i’d have to brush up on my hebrew to play but after a few tries the game gets fun and challenging. this one is going to keep me company on those lonely nights.
