I was waiting for this since I heard about it on Reddit. I have had many hours of enjoyment and inspiration from the Racial Justice bundle last year. Bundle of 1000ish things, games, soundtracks, assets, TTRPG, tools, etc. Haven't looked closely enough to unearth any real treats yet but for under seven bucks Australian for the couple of hours wading through weird TTRPG rulesets will be worth it for me personally…

Edit: The creator of the bundle has posted to Twitter there will be further additions "next week", so if you were on the fence about the value of the inclusions in the bundle it might be about to get bargain-ier!

Edit the second: More games and creators added. Deal remains great value for money!

        This isn't the place for it, mate. Just buying another pack of eneloops is EXACTLY what this board is for. If you want to talk politics find a political forum. Or are you saying that any time there is any kind of suffering, or perceived injustice, that means we should never enjoy any other aspect of life? Unbelievable! And yep that neg you got was mine.

        • poppingtags on 06/06/2021 - 11:10

          Just because you want to live a shallow life in a little bubble doesn't mean we all do.

          As others have mentioned, this is a good deal and offers some well reviewed indie games at a bargain price - so it deserves its place on the site on the basis of that alone.

          If the charitable aspect for you is too much for your little heart and brain to cope with, just move on - and take your magic internet points with you, I really don't care about your negs.

    One can support the civilians of Gaza/Israel and be against war. Unfortunately it's a difficult situation in the middle east but I concur with other posters here, political deals only inflame and bring out the worst.

  • whyisave on 05/06/2021 - 18:30

    Instead of commending the deal, for charitable purposes,
    it's easy to see who is just parrot / copy-paste talking points from mass media.

    I like how the narrative has been hijacked to be "Israel vs Gaza",
    and the gatekeepers & gaslighters keep calling it Gaza this or Hamas that,
    but it's actually a country called Palestine that is being carefully eroded away,
    first through language, which erodes it away from the mind and then eventually the maps,
    resulting in an "ONE-STATE SOLUTION".

  • DavidOz on 05/06/2021 - 19:00

    This is just hateful divisive rubbish and has no place within a close knit and mutually supportive community such as OzBargain. As a number of posters have pointed out, it has been proven with UNWRA before, that your money will likely get into the hands of terrorists that will lead to worse outcomes for both innocent Palestinians and Israelis. Any ethical, socially conscious person would give this a wide berth.

          It is worthwhile highlighting the following parts of Shawn Duffy's FB post:

          • There are two sets of laws in Palestine. Israeli settlers are subject to Israeli civilian law and Palestinians are subject to Israeli military law. That is literally the definition of apartheid. You know what else that means? Even if the army was interested in protecting Palestinians from settler violence (as they are required to do under international law but often don't), they have to call the police. Yes. The army has to call the police.

          • There are two separate road systems in Palestine. One for Israelis with Israeli plates and one for Palestinians with Palestinian plates. If I need a taxi to go certain places, a Palestinian taxi can only take me so far. They will likely need to call another taxi with Israeli plates to meet us somewhere on the side of the road to continue my journey. The roads for Palestinians go through checkpoints and cars are often pulled over by military jeeps for harassment.

      top security clearance of QAnon here - no wonder they had to redefine domestic terrorism…..it was politically required to insulate QAnon….

      While this is not a statement regarding this post (or the Israeli- Palestine issue/conflict) as I really do not want to get involved into a political discussion, from my work of helping international people in their quest for a better life in Australia, going by the definition of apartheid in the HRW article, I can think of a few western countries (including this one) where this arguably applies.
      I really think is best politics should stay out of the deal section of Ozbargain at least (and ideally, move to a different site altogether as Ozbargain is not about political discussion) as it really polarises people too much, and in my belief, only leads to anger and upset between users here.

      All as planned. Next time funds are running low they will orchestrate another situation, launch some rockets at Israel, claim the militants that are killed in retaliation are civilians and watch the money from the suckers overseas come rolling in. It's a cycle that will never stop and countries and individuals that donate money are just enabling it to continue. Even Australian aid money was diverted to Hamas.
      Very similar to the North Korea Strategy, get angry ruffle a few feathers with weapons test and obtain foreign aid and trade concessions.

    If you steal financial aid from poor people and use them as a human shield, they call you freedom fighters.

    The people in Gaza live in poverty. 11 hospitals for a population of 2.2 million. Poverty rate 56%, Unemployment 50%, Schools: 85 per cent runs double shift.

    One major source of revenue for Hamas is by stealing financial aid. 55% goes to military allocation. Only 5% goes to rehabilitation project.

    27 million of Tax collection are mostly used to pay Hamas fighters and Hamas workers. They receive 20 million per month from Qatar. Millions per month from Iran and others. The money is not reaching the poor.

    Palestinians are living in constant fear of the Israeli rockets and Hamas misfiring rockets.

      Also, some may not be aware, but if you're a palestinian who commits terror attacks (ie suicide bombing) and sent to prison, you will get huge financial benefits for your family whilst you're imprisoned… This is where a big chunk of aid goes.

    There are so many insane comments here claiming that Hamas are freedom fighters that deserve support, just wow. To those who claim that Hamas are freedom fighters, this is a direct quote from the Hamas Charter…

    'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.' (Article 7)

      Oh damn Hamas must really suck. I wonder why Israel spawned them into existence.

      It's funny that after the charter you're quoting was introduced, Israel continued to support and work alongside them to oust Fatah

      Mr. Hacham, the military Arab affairs expert, remembers taking one of Hamas's founders, Mahmoud Zahar, to meet Israel's then defense minister, Yitzhak Rabin, as part of regular consultations between Israeli officials and Palestinians not linked to the PLO. Mr. Zahar, the only Hamas founder known to be alive today, is now the group's senior political leader in Gaza.

      Coincidentally they also released Sheikh Yassin about a decade later, just in case they were lacking in religious direction. The Israelis are truly the humanists of the world :)

            @petry: You might need a lesson on comprehension, that would be a good start for you.

              @RocketSwitch: Don't bother with @petry.

              He/she doesn't read your posts and replies with something stupid

              @RocketSwitch: so when you wrote 'I'm just here for the games, gee, you people are grumpy, find your higher purpose on this Earth before you die!'

              playing computer games then had nothing to do with anyone finding 'your higher purpose on this Earth before you die!'

              so what does 'I'm just here for the games, gee, you people are grumpy, find your higher purpose on this Earth before you die!' actually mean in regard to the bundle for palestinian aid?

    Judging by the positive votes Australia has no hope and no future. Too many people have absolutely no idea about the subject and they think they know everything, thanks to the brainwashing by MSM and socialist/Marxist/communist propaganda in the universities.
    These people are happy to give their financial support to the terrorists just to get some cheap games.

      I suspect a few knows what they are doing. They know the money won't go to the poor. it's a way to finance another war. War are expensive. Hamas need money.

    Baba is You is now also included in the bundle.

    I bought the bundle. Awesome value and an excellent cause to help the victims of the violence.

    Not a deal. The UNRWA is a terrorist supporting organisation (https://unwatch.org/whats-wrong-unrwa-must-reformed/ ). I am not sending any money there and neither should anyone from OzBargain, this is sick.
