‘Shooter’ game’s maker says it “address[es] the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective” Image: Nidal Nijm Games. Online game distribution platform …
An updated version of the game was released in 2023 which allowed players to reenact the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, as well as other events from the Israel–Hamas war.
Saying this game is from a “Palestinian perspective” is highly misleading. It’s from a Hamas perspective, and is explicitly a pro-Hamas game where you commit terror attacks and behead non-military Israelis.
Hamas is recognised as a terrorist institution by the UK, so I’m not really surprised this game got banned. I imagine a game where you play as a Russian soldier torturing Ukrainians would be banned too, if the intention of the game was to paint Russia in a positive light.
I also find it quite disgusting how people think so lowly of Palestinians that they automatically assume they’re synonymous with Hamas. This is the same bullshit thinking that had people thinking if you’re Irish you’re IRA or pro-IRA.
The game creator should not be saying this is from a Palestinian perspective, as being Palestinian doesn’t make you a terrorist.
Ok? But that’s an entirely different discussion. Disliking the IDF or Israel’s government does not mean you should support/glorify a terrorist attack on civilians at a music festival.

Shame that the IDF isn’t.

Beheading civilians at a concert is not ok. It is not defensible. Championing that behaviour is really weird.
Wasn’t there a scene in call of duty modern warfare where you have to kill innocent people at the airport? Is call of duty also banned in UK?
No Zionists were triggered by that game though.
