A new tourist attraction in Israel invites visitors to hunt down "terrorists".
Gush Etzion, in Israel's West Bank, is run by former members of the Israeli Defense Force who offer a range of activities including rescuing "hostages" and shooting at cardboard "terrorists".
"This is a special program created due to popular demand," manager Sharon Gat told Ynetnews.
"Travellers from all over the world come here to meet former combat troops and hear stories about elite units. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Even children are invited to take out a terrorist. One US tourist, Michel Brown, said he brought his children to the attraction as he belived it was "teaching them values".
"This is part of their education," said the 40-year-old Miami banker, "they should know where they come from and also feel some action."
At the end of the training, participants receive a diploma saying they've "completed a basic shooting course in Israel".
Fun for all the family!
really? so people have been visiting israel and one of their questions is... so what are the chances we might be able to shoot a terrorist during our holiday?? WTF is wrong with people? and im not talking about the possibly imaginary people who they say have created a demand for this 'attraction'. im talking about the people who think its a good thing to provide such an 'attraction'. i see nothing attractive about it.

Fanaticism, religious zeal, fundamentalism. Fundamentally messed up I'd say. The question is: When does the "special program" become special permission to shoot anybody that looks suspicious?"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Cool, do you get more points for the Zionist terrorists?0
-
can they choose whether to shoot at arab terrorists OR idf ones depending on their perspective of things?
are arabs or palestinians allowed to participate?
if they are only allowed to target cardboard cutouts in arab attire, what kind of message is this sending? especially to the young? if this is not passing racism and stereotypes on down to the next generation i don't know what is...
racism is not genetically predisposed. it is taught. and this is just teaching more racism and superiority."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Don't know why I would travel half-way across the world when I can just turn my Xbox on and do it from my recliner. (although I prefer to shoot aliens and zombies much more)Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

Agreed, I think I'll kick back and put on the Duty. Time to destroy a few Nazi Zombies0 -
The pic of the blonde little girl reminds of the black and white newsreels of little blonde nazi kids saluting hitler. I always thought how can a little kid do that and that would never happen in our time.0

That girl looks more like the blue-eyed devil from across the pond vs. your standard zionist.
She should be wearing proper eye and hearing protection unless the photo was done for shock value.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0 -

I didn't care for MW3 but.... I have many hours logged in on it, regardless.
Can't wait for Black Ops 2
Sorry, carry on0 -

Actually, there are many blue eyed blonde zionists. I am not sure if it was done for shock value, I remember the pictures of little israeli girls signing idf bombs not so long ago. They seem to be proud of their hatred.0 -

I don't know. It creeps me out that in the US young kids have to stand and "pledge allegiance" to a flag.0 -
