Google Removes 'Bomb Gaza' Game From Play Store

Nowadays as you all know that though a small and tiny country that is even unable to be spotted on the map of the world, the country that was born as an illegal child or politely as a lovechild as an aftermath of relationship between the 'Untied' States of America and United Kingdom, the two countries who consider themselves leaders of the world and Muslims not much more than small pests though they overlook the fact that Muslims were the great nation that made them prostrate in front of them when they tried their luck in the land of brave Pashtun Muslims, the Afghanistan.



That small country that is full of the nation which was slaughtered by Adolf Hitler who considered his act rightful, and said that 'he had left the small amount of Jews to flee just because so the world in future would be able to see why he treated Jews like that'. That small country who is by no means showing any shame or emotion of being human is named Israel.

At least Android apps that simulated Israeli air strikes on Gaza were eradicated by Google Inc. from its Play Store on Monday. The apps were pulled after angry users took to Twitter to criticize Google for allowing the apps in its Play Store.

BombGaza, released on July 26, according to App Annie, tasked players with dropping bombs on terrorists while avoiding hitting civilians. The game ends when too many civilians were killed, and the "rage meter" reached its limit.

The other game, Gaza Assault: Code Red, first released in Google Play on July 17, according to App Annie, also tasked players with targeting terrorist cells hidden within Gaza— though it made no mention of civilians.

A spokesperson for Google told a famous tech news website that the company does not comment on specific apps but said, "We remove apps from Google Play that violate our policies." That tech news website confirmed both apps had been pulled late Monday morning PDT.

The spokesperson did not elaborate on which policies the apps violated but Google's Developer Program Policies prohibit both violence and bullying and hate speech.


  • Violence and Bullying: Depictions of gratuitous violence are not allowed. Apps should not contain materials that threaten, harass or bully other users.

  • Hate Speech: We don't allow content advocating against groups of people based on their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity.




The developers for BombGaza and Gaza Assault: Code Red could not immediately be reached for comment. Other games that simulate Israel's Iron Dome and Hamas rockets remain in the Play Store.
