    I’ve played neither games, so I cannot comment about their contents. The second part of your comment is specifically about titles.

    “Knights of al-Aqsa”, as a title, does not have the same meaning nor implications of a your example. that would something more like “Bulldozing Israel, Knights of the Caliphate”, eventhough comparing the thrid riech to a caliphate is a stretch.

        Knights of al-Aqsa mostlikely glorifies Hamas, along with any other faction fighting against Israel.

        Panzer Corps probably glorifies Nazis as well.

        but it doesn’t matter, as neither of us have played any of these games, nor will we ever. My whole point was about your choice of words for the nazi example.

        “knights of al-aqsa” doesn’t have an explicit context, it comes knowledge of current events.

        “panzer corps” doesn’t have an explicit context, it comes knowledge of historic events.

        Bliutzkrieg Poland: Heroes of the third reich” has a very explicit context. The third reich specifically refers to nazi Germany.

        Your example make it seems as if you think defending Al-Aqsa Mosque is inherently an act of aggression, murder, colonial expansion, and ethnic cleansing.
