[Residents’ Councils of Samaria and Binyamin](http://vshomron.co.il/?ref=killscreen.com), an advocacy group for religious settlers, recently commissioned a series of religious- and nationalistic-themed videogames. Israeli youth are the target audience and the group [told Fast Company](http://www.fastcompany.com/1745081/israeli-west-bank-settler-video-game-binyamin-samaria-council?ref=killscreen.com) that they want “to reach the heart of the younger generation around the world, plug them into Heritage and to bring them the country past and present – in creative ways.”

> In the first game, *Judah Maccabee*, players are cast in the role of a Maccabee who sneaks into a Greek camp to obtain the “sword of Apollonius.” Another game, *Ahab in Samaria*, lets players slay invading soldiers attacking the biblical Kingdom of Israel. The third game currently available, *Ammunition Hill*, casts the player as an Israeli soldier invading East Jerusalem in [one of the bloodiest battles of the Six-Day War](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%5Fof%5FAmmunition%5FHill?ref=killscreen.com). A fourth game that is still being developed allows players to play a scout on a hang glider who guides the ancient Israelites to the Promised Land. Whether hang gliders actually existed in the early Biblical era is, of course, open to debate.
