A tough Swedish dad took his son to the West Bank to show them the reality of war after they asked him if they could play the violent, first-person shooter video game.

University teacher and journalist Carl-Magnus Helgegren made the decision following a conversation with his two sons Frank and Leo, aged ten and 11 respectively, according to The local.

So he decided the family would take a trip to a city impacted by real war. The boys would meet people who have bee affected by the conflicys and they would and visit a refugee camp.

The deal was that when the came came back home, they could play whatever games they wanted. The Swedes also stayed with an Israeli family and saw all the tourist sights, like the old city in Jerusalem.
