How The Last of Us Part II is ACTUALLY About the Israel-Palestine Conflict (Neil Druckmann and Gaza)
The Last of Us Part II is one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. Developed by Naughty Dog, the divisive sequel to The Last of Us was Directed and Co-Written by Neil Druckmann. Druckmann was born and raised in Israeli occupied West Bank and has spoken briefly about how both games are actually influenced by Israeli politics and the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
This is most apparent in the second game. The conflict between the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) and the Seraphite tribe has much resemblance to Israel’s history and present hostility to the surrounding region. While not an explicit commentary on the conflict it is hard to detach Druckmann’s views and upbringing from the politics of the game which I discuss in the video.
