Bombing Gaza? There's An "Utterly Shameful" App For That
Google customers have reacted with outrage, according to The Guardian, following the release of an Android game that invites players to mimic the Israeli army 'dropping bombs' on Gaza.
Bomb Gaza, which is designed for Android phones and tablets, has been downloaded up to 1,000 times since its release on 29 July 2014, according to app store data. Its stated aim is to “drop bombs and avoid killing civilians”.
Seemingly designed to offend, the game reflects the real-life conflict in Gaza in which at least 1,800 Palestinians have been killed. Many comments on the game’s review section express outrage that the game is being given a platform by Google, though some also defended Israeli positions.
...
Bomb Gaza is not the only title on the Android store which references
the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. There is also a game
named Gaza Assault: Code Red (with a five star rating) and Iron Dome, based on Israel’s controversial US funded missile defence system.
One individual proclaimed:
Utterly shameful. Real people, many of them children, are dying in Gaza. Many of those who haven’t been killed face life with debilitating injuries, bereavement and without homes. Their suffering is as real as yours or mine, and to make light of it like this speaks of your essential failure as a human. Shame on the creators of this game, and those who ‘play’ it. – George Coote

I knew that was gonna come. I mean really, if some one can do some asshole bull shit to get a rise out of someone else they are going too.
"Hey Palestine. Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!"
Well this wasn't quite as bad as when they took photos of little Israeli kids writing notes to the Lebanese kids (on the JDAMS).
That was fucking despicable. Like take those sick fucks and dress them up in dolphin suits and let the goddaaam japs club them to death.
pods
Knock knock...
OK... Who's there?
And where do you get this shit pods!?
Ka-BLAAAM!!!
What a bunch of drama queens.
That's only permitted under Shira law if the boy is underage
All your mosque are belong to us...
Wow, it's just a GAME.
Did Tipper Gore write this article?
I'm sure the reaction would be the same to the "Decapitate American Pig Dog" game.
Same for the Talmud, but the boy has to be under 9. Book religions, same shit, different spin.
War brings out the very worst in people. The internet has added a new dimension to this phenomenon.
War, a game the whole family can play
Remember the game "Nukem" from the film RoboCop (the original from 1987, not the horrid remake from earlier this year)?

"Get them before they get you!"
"Another quality home game from Butler Brothers."
Maybe the current US Administration (the "Real" administration, not the "For Public Consumption" one), has been playing this game or similar) for too long, and they "have got ideas" re. Ukraine and/or Russia?
If we don't soon learn to stop killing people (any and all people) we will be as good as dead.
Man seems to have been doing a pretty damned good job of killing since recorded history and before that via legend, lore and myth.
Methinks it's hard wired directly into a Grand Maw of the Cosmos Feeding Upon Pain Suffering and Death
With the possible exception of bonobos all primates and many if not most 'higher' species engage in exactly the same violent mannerisms.
It's the "Them vs. Us" hardwiring in our genes to promote survival. Both at a 'tribal level' to facilitate group access to territory and resources and then again it is manifested as greed at a personal (social status seeking breeding and first access to food) level.
Unless we learn to control these urges we are fucked.
And it looks like we won't.
What kind of GrandMa of the Cosmos you got in mind?
After the US hoopla of Sharknado 2, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to social insensitivity and callousness.
+1 for dolphin suits

Yep, that whole free speech thing means you have to put up with the stupid obnoxious shit too. I'm not interested in playing it, but I hope they keep it up.
Moses went to God and said Oh God my people don't listen to me. God said Moses, you go home and let them fuck them self.
BTW, here's some sweet stone tablets to carry around in fancy ark that you will have to construct for the purpose. Guard it with your life!

That was Noah. A different Ark.

An image that appears to show a group of Israelis on a hilltop cheering and applauding as they watch the deadly aerial bombardment of Gaza has caused international outrage after it was shared by thousands...
It said that people were seen taking popcorn up onto the hill with their chairs, and that they sat cheerfully smoking hookahs.

Don't want to get in the habit of smoking your Hookers.
Americans did the very same thing and had picnics while watching Civil War battles in Virginia.
Nothing new here. Yawn.
horrible things were done before
so doing horrible things is fine.
yaaaaay!
If you get caught by "The Law" smoking your hookers, you'll be getting aquainted with Big Bubba in the Big House. In which case, best to stick to shower gel, not slippery soap . . . . . .
Hey cool, Israelis have red necks too! I wonder if they were playin' some Hank Jr. while bombs lit up the strip.
I like 'em more already! ;-)
History for 400.
Killing innocent men, women and children surrounded by the barbwire or walls?
what is Hitlerism.
dont be a fucktard usa is meant to produce such products the whole world copy months later & sells once localised. this is called mondialization
Utterly shameful. I would never download such an app.
Mostly because I don't know what an app is, or how or why anyone would want to download one.
You can be a little too honest there No debt, should have stopped with the first sentence.
i would buy the nuke israel app.
There is a "Samson Option" app. Basically you play a gangster, going around the world threatening world leaders with destruction, if they step out of line, or don't pay up.
Then, if they threaten to fight back, you have the "Samson Option" of exploding nuclear weapons located (that is, planted before hand, as what good is an empty threat) in major foreign cities around the world.
If you can't be the winner, better for the world to burn.
65k Brits want all trade with Israel stopped, another 8k want Daniel Taub (Ambasador to the UK) expelled.
More would sign but EastEnders is on...
I look around and find I'm ashamed to be part of the human race.
You can always disown your species...
Didn't know I owned it in the first place
Disassociate from*.

Nahhh... It's only when you start growing gills that you're getting there.

Probably a carbuncle. If you're lucky, it'll be the super resistant "new" variant of Golden Staph - http://www.dermnetnz.org/bacterial/staphylococci.html .
In which case you're cactus, mate!!
Then I guess it's unanimous because we're ashamed you're part of the human race, too.
/sorry, automatic response to such statements
It's just fun. Humor. I don't see what's bad about it actually.
I recently replayed a game from a decade ago, Command and Conquer, generals zero hour.
I loved that game! And you can play Russian, american, chinese and terrorist.
I loved the part to play the russians against the american laser general just because the russians have the coolest weapons.
Am I bad because I played the russian side? Bad because I destroyed the american bases?
No. It's a game.
+1. I would play this app while listening to that great song "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran..." Quite a catchy Beach Boys tune.
We live in one fucked up world. How in the hell did we make it this far?
Hope.
..and Change?
"How in the hell did we make it this far?"
For a long time our weapons could not do justice to our specific level of depraved, self-immolating insanity.
Exactly. There were some who were not happy with the Gatling Gun and explosive shells. Onward and upward!
What happened was weaponry evolved to the point that the aristocracy would have to participate in war and poof no more world wars.
Yep, they were saying that in July 1914, and in December 1918, and ...
reddie on ya!
- Ned
Sorry, Ned - the "Real" Aristocracy (not the "Public Consumtion" version), have never (and will never) take active combatant roles in any of the wars they engineer for their benefit.
Wars are for population management (and a healthy slice of asset harvesting by force on the side). "The Generals sat whilst the lines on the map moved from side to side" sums up their "involvement".
Give them time...
Civilization (and extreme violence) has been around for 10,000 years... Nuclear weapons on the other hand only 70.
That's likely why there's very little time left.
Humans still have the mentality of warring tribes, but weapons capable of destroying cities.
When the weapons were spears & arrows, destruction of the planet wasn't very likely.
Familial -> Tribal -> Municipal -> National -> Universal
Family, Tribe, City, Nation, Universe.
Even today in Nigeria, tribal politics reign supreme. A couple hundred years ago, before the unifications of Italy and Germany, most Europeans associated with THEIR CITY more than their nation. Napoleon was one of the first to harness Nationalism.
I accept all non-sociopaths as members of the Universal human race.
Keep going...
Ever see soccer fans from opposing teams go apeshit on each other?

Humans are emotional not logical animals.
Whoever learns best how to manipulate human emotions always wins. anyway with this Gaza shitstorm going down I can smell another blockbuster Hollywood Holocaust movie coming to a theatre near you.
Did you ever see the South Park, where Stan's dad goes to all his son's baseball games, in order to instigate fights with the other team's dads?
Classic.
0hd, check out Gustave Le Bon, "The Crowd".
He's talking about frogs b4 there was soccer.

Kewl! Downloading now!
Yeah, give the game lots and lots of free advertising world wide, that will show those evil game developers.
Someone has to work on the PLANTATION Doc!
I will sit, like an effendi, and eat...
Spoken like a true Rabbi!
Surprised it doesn't have a big Star of David on the screen. What's next, Kill The Goy app? They already play that one in real life.
Goys just wanna have fun.
Anyone heard of COD? Not supporting this game but I guess WWI and WWII games are OK. A lot of people died in thoses wars.
Aren't they now mostly into WWIII and WWIV?
And did you hear that it is now illegal to play Battlefield 4 in China because one of the armies you can is Chinese?
It's a video game.
It's either okay to play a game using artillery to kill or it isn't. It shouldn't matter if it's zombies, terrorists, Chinese, Jews, Hamas, or Americans.
Somewhat off topic - but Fuck Bob Kraft, too.
I bet George Coote is a ZH'r.
do we get points off for killing little kids hung onto sides of buildings by Hamas?
hanging kids on walls?
you shame your ashkenazi ancestors.
do you mean by the IDF?

Whens the game coming out Tony?
soon enough moses i am a little busy as your mom is still working my large cock she just loves playing with that foreskin dirty kabbilistic whore
So where's the, "fire 3000 missiles at Israel" app/game?
rockets. home made, unguided rockets with no significant warhead that have killed 3 people since this most recent, Israeli initiated cycle of violence.
Do you mean that app?
Well, if it was stuck up your ass, you'd probably know where it is.
Oddly all three were Arabs.
If you caught one in your teeth, you'd probably enjoy it.
Look ass stain – guess how many people have been killed by Hamas “rockets” in the past ten years. Answer 28, yep read that again only 28 In. Ten. Years.
Children killed by US drones – 170+
Children Killed by israel in the past couple of months – 200+
Children killed in the Iraq war – 39% of the casualties
On and on and on…..
NOT civilians or militants – CHILDREN
Man how I could use a nice piece of hickory to pummel their faces into the ground – me? I swerve around a worm on the sidewalk when I ride my bike because I don’t want to hurt another creature on Earth but I would not flinch for a second on what I said above.
Is there an app called "Gas the Jews"...I'm guessing not as if there was Google wouldn't allow it in their app store for more than 10 seconds yet this seems to be A-Ok for them, at least until the media backlash is enough for them to pull it.
The shit people come up with and do. Pathetic species.
I would buy it.
I prefer more realistic, fact-based games.
The app is probably an OP, part of the Southern Poverty Law Center's or the CIA's psychological operations, with funding via some shell entity. The tell is that it hasn't been immediately pulled.
It's a scam. gassing doesn't work -far too inefficient. The Nazis had some wackos who considered it but it was rejected even by the psychos (all wars have psychos -we had Stalin and Churchill on our side) as being inefficient and ineffective.
In the app store there RED ALERT : ISRAEL
And there you get popups for every misssile Hamas fires.
Pretty cool :)
There are hundreds of secret tunnels crossing from Mexico in the the USSA. So why not "bomb the fuck outta" Mexico until the "calm returns"?
Because you'd destroy the nanny, cleaning pady and poolguy supply line.
You racist! Left out the gardner!
Where is the "end all US aid to Israel" app?
I'd like to put the executive at Google that gave the green light to this app and drop him in Gaza chained to a Hamas rocket launcher.
Fucking prick.
listen you yidish hole in sheet fuckin cock.
more injuries and deaths happen around the world from fireworks than have been injured or killed by the hamas rockets.
you yids are calling this a war it is not it is a holocaust.
nobody is fighting back and i have seen zero investigation or proofs that any rockets have been fired into israel
moses the use of depleted uranium and tactical nukes in gaza is a war crime.
Tony Wilson "no rockets fired".
You are no human you fuckhead.
Totally moron idiot. Die you sucm
You joos want to kill everyone, even online.
download the app
How much you wanna bet that McCain is playing it right now?
I'm sure Zuckerberg will buy it out for a couple Millions.
since the 2 characters are black, does that make the game racist too?
And the communist Red must also indicate that the Russians are involved... Putin must be behind it.... I'm sure we've got sattelite pics to prove it...
Sticks for tbe arabs and Guns for the Jews, Get you some of THAT APP

Fuking NSA.
poor baby. why not pull your pud like you usually do. ass**le
poor baby. why not pull your pud like you usually do. ass**le
Stupid game, but does bring up a question or two. How many "innocent civilians" died in Iraq 1 and 2? How many "innocent civilians" died in Afganastan? How many "innocent civilians" died in Viet Nam? How many "innocent civilians" are currently dying in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Somalia, Nigeria, South Africa, China, Mexico, etc.?
Why are the only really important "innocent civilians" currently dying only in Gaza?
There was a game out a while back where you could snipe Hispanics crossing the border. woot!
It's funny that Guardian readers don't get upset about the Palestinian children's TV show that glorifies suicide bombers and other ways of killing Jews.
In other words:
"waaaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
http://original.antiwar.com/hacohen/2013/03/03/purim-and-genocidal-phant...
Probably because for every jew killed, 30 other innocent people die. While I sympathize for every victim, collectively, it's hard to sympathize with jews as a group. The harm the tribe does to humanity simply overwhelms any harm done to them.

How many bombs does it take to find the Hebrew homes that were under the arab homes originally?

anything like missile command?
Google customers have reacted with outrage to a GAME where you drop bombs on MAKE BELIEVE TARGETS AND AVOID KILLING MAKE BELIEVE CIVILIANS, but they have no reaction at all when it comes to The Knockout Game where real people are maimed and killed.
Why? Must be something about the perpetrators, the victims, or both. It couldn't be the hypocrisy of the narcissistic left wing Google crowd, could it?

So you don't see anything wrong with rockets being fired from beside the hospital or school ?
Get a grip there, Ackbar, at least You got a phone call..."hello?" ..."Duck your head Mr. Custer."
try harder.
perhaps some of you smart ZH folks could develope a game for kids to kill jooos to be fair
Oh,, sory your too late, they been teaching that to the Muslim kids for 1400 years
takes a while for the zionists to catch up, and you thought they were so smart.

I think it's disgusting too. But c'mon...does it surprise you? THIS is what we have become. Today I was watching CNBC (I know, I know...forget that for now) and they were discussing the Ebola outbreak, and saying stuff to the effect of "How terribly tragic...but are there opportunities for the investor here?"
WTF? These folks would network at their own mother's funeral, for chrissakes! So, a game app based on Gaza doesn't really seem out of place, does it?
Is there a plug in to add Hemet, Needles, or Victorville?
