Well, the moral of this game is…I’m a horrible politician. And politics suck. And believe me, there is WAY too much pressure on Politicians! We don’t give Obama nearly enough credit. I’m not kidding when I say this game was scarring, and near impossible for someone who knows almost nothing about politics in general and even less about the politics of the Middle East. Sure, I understand the basics: Palestinians and Israelis pretty much hate each other, the Israelis because they think they have a right to the land that was formerly Palestine, and the Palestinians because they think the Israelis are always judging them. Well, you see, in the game, the player has two scores: what the Palestinians think of you, and what the Israelis think  of you. The player has the option of playing as The Palestinian President or the Israeli Prime Minister. I played as the Israeli Prime Minister. Now, the only way to win the game is to get complete support from both nations…well, suffice it to say, I didn’t win. My tactic was try to make everyone happy at once, without paying attention to the annoying polls in the corner…don’t even really know what those are about. Anyway. My people were jerks. Yeah, that’s right. Whenever I did something to help the Palestinians, they said I was rewarding terror. When I did something that negatively affected the Palestinians, the Israelis were happy enough, but the Palestinians hated me. So I tried to patch up my relationship with them by offering aid, and they said my actions were suspicious because they were right after an intense negative action toward them. Hmm…they may be right. Still, though! Politicians are hugely underappreciated. If this is what things are really like in the Middle East, then boy, am I glad I don’t live there. By the end, I was close to tears and practically had a nervous breakdown. In a fit of rage, I bombed the Palestinian government AND police, offered above mentioned suspicious aid randomly, and basically screwed everybody over that I could int he worst ways possible until I was kicked out of office. So basically, you do NOT want me managing your nation. I think I’ll just stick to joining the peace corps or something, because if any big decisions are ever left up to me, I’ll just end up blowing up my people because they don’t understand my stress. Yeah. That would work.
