Several "Nasrallah games" for the web were created during the 2006 Lebanon War. They are intended to allow for quick and simple outlet to what is apparently a widespread impulse: to hit, crush, silence, bomb, and in short – to render Hassah Nasrallah null and void. Through these games, anyone is invited to try to do to Hezbollah leader, what the IDF has failed. These games are akin to a mirror reflecting the frustration which the organization succeeds in eliciting in Israeli society. Their professed target is indeed Nasrallah himself, but their real goal is to consolidate the self-image of the strongest army and nation in the Middle East, that humiliates its enemies rather then vice versa. Perhaps these games are merely an outlet for hidden frustrations. After all, what were the government’s objectives upon going out to war?
