'Bomb Gaza' Game For Android Draws Controversy: Twitter Reacts To Disgusting App [TWITTER REACTIONS]

On Monday morning, the Israeli Air Force struck a Shati Refugee Camp just moments after Israel had agreed to a unilateral and partial cease-fire. The air strike injured 29 civilians and killed an 8-year-old girl. Meanwhile, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that he would not observe the truce, which he regards as no more than a media exercise. Amid the high tensions across the stricken area, it would be highly insensitive and irresponsible to monetize the tragic ongoing events by releasing a mobile game on the Google Play Store ... but that's exactly what developer PLAYFTW has done.

Android mobile users discovered "Bomb Gaza," a new downloadable game on Google's Play Store, over the weekend. "BombGaza" became available via the Google Play Store on July 29. According to the game description, "Bomb Gaza" lets Android users play as the Israeli Air Force and launch air strikes on Gaza. The aim is to drop bombs on Hamas militants while avoiding the killing of civilians.

Less than 1,000 users have downloaded the "BombGaza" game, but the game has already attracted global negative publicity. Media outlets including The Telegraph, The Independent, and International Business Times UK, have reported on the distasteful app Monday morning. Reactions on Twitter and Google Play review comments have responded angrily against the game's disregard to the people that are suffering from a war that is still going on.

"This is a violation of human rights," said Android user Iqra Iqbal, who described the "BombGaza" game an abomination. "My beloved brothers and sisters are dying in Gaza and some stupid ignoramus decides to make a game like this."

"It would be interesting how Larry Page and Sergey Brin, both advocates of the Google mantra 'Don't be evil' and the other people in charge of applications respond," said Yunus Patel, who described the app as disgusting. "Google should not only give a very public apology but divert some of their billions to help those helpless innocents in Gaza."

Unfortunately, the game has also produced highly emotional responses with a different point of view. "I want bomb Gaza" wrote Android user ישראל לברטובסקי.

"Dear Israel," wrote Khalid Sheikh Yassin, "you are the real terrorist."

"Only rated low because it's a bad game," wrote Daniel Gilliland in an objective review on "BombGaza" controls and gameplay. "I don't get all the hate on this game. It's cool to kill Russians, Germans, Japanese in 'Call of Duty,' but kill Palestinians and it's somehow an atrocity and an immoral act. Either way, this game just is not good based solely on game play."
