[PC] Games for Gaza - 256 Games for US$10 @ Itch.io

37769

A bundle hosted by Oak Grove Games by Esther Wallace with content from 140 creators.

In response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza and occupied Palestine, we're creating this bundle to raise funds for the organization Medical Aid For Palestinians. All funds raised will go to the organization.

From the organization's website: "MAP's vision is a future where all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable and locally-led system of healthcare, and the full realisation of their rights to health and dignity.

Through our programmes in the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Lebanon, we work with trusted and experienced local partners to achieve this vision. Our programmes, designed and delivered by Palestinians, provide access to essential health services and build local knowledge and skills to address Palestinian health problems. In times of humanitarian emergency, we are ready to respond rapidly with aid and assistance.

MAP is also committed to bearing witness to the injustices caused by occupation, displacement and conflict. We speak out in the UK and internationally, and ensure Palestinian voices are heard at the highest levels, to press for the political and social barriers to Palestinian health and dignity to be addressed." This bundle will run for two weeks, from October 26th-November 9th, 2023.

                      • @subwoofer: Given that we reached the point of taking it personal, I'm going to disengage. I suggest you try working on that rhetoric a bit more.

            • @SolidlyIrresponsible: Ahhh….so the UN sponsored by the US accepted britain's balfour declaration to steal palestinian land and give it to a third party….. jews.

              So there are now 2 states in palestine? I wonder why one of those "states" isn't recognised and accepted as a sovereign state by the same UN that "created" it. Should palestinians be grateful that the UN voted to allow palestinians "non member observer status" to the UN in…2010? despite US, Canada, and a few chickenshit countries (a total of 9) voting against giving palestine such a lofty status?

              Irresponsible half facts indeed!

              • @rooster7777:

                Because the Arabs declined and went to war and lost…

                I know it is hard to accept that actions have consequences but this is how it goes.

    • Or take out israel…. if your fundamental goal is to protect civilians, especially children….

  • +11

    Amount of misinformation and hate, brainwashing so many of you to believe 'Israel' isn't inherently the instigator and the oppressor is quite upsetting. Every humanitarian organisation & reputable NGO, to a differing extent agrees this is infact a genocide / ethnic clensing. But no- Murdoch Media & Zionist funded and controlled medias must be correct. Hypocrisy as well to believe every western media is telling the truth and every humanitarian organisation is lying.

    • +5

      I agree that media has inherent bias to push their own agendas. But it's a two way thing. Your claim that one side is biased, but the opposing argument is factual and correct, is simply wrong. I hope that both sides can atleast agree that Hamas' must be destroyed, regardless of their views on Israel or Palestine.

      • +4

        Because every humanitarian org agrees its an ethic clensing and it has substantial proof to back that claim from research papers, UN resolutions, humanitarian reports, on the ground first hand reports. Hamas is more of a mindset than an org. When your family is slaughtered in front on you there will very definately be those who take revenge (which i completely agree is still disgusting and horrible)

        • +1

          Humanitarian organisations aren't the epitome of factual evidence. Especially the UN. Whilst I'm sure they do some good work, there is likely a significant gravy train between what we see and delivering positive change on the ground. As such, they too will likely be pushing an agenda for their own benefit. You are free to have your opinion on these matters, but don't use media bias as evidence of why your POV is more valid than someone else's. Get better evidence.

          • +4

            @niknikniknik: if every humanitarian organisation (yes every single credible one INCLUDING ISRAELS OWN) as well as on ground media reports which have exposed the truth isnt enough for you god help us. Also i doubt humanitarian workers such as Amnesty International, the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, OHCHR and more all have a agenda

          • @niknikniknik: Get better evidence…. that's tragically comic.
            We should believe the legacy of menachem begin instead?
            There is nothing like the blind lecturing others from their hearts.

            • +2

              @rooster7777: If you separated yourself from your emotions on the matter perhaps you'd get the message. Believe whatever you want to believe, whichever side you stand on, but don't claim that the 'alternate information source' (which is likely a link you found on Facebook) is any more accurate or less biased than any Western/Murdoch media that some love to harp on about.

      • +2

        When was the last time a Palestinian was invited to tell their side of the story in western media? never ! the propaganda is given fully the isreali side.

  • +13

    These are terrible games that I can't imagine anyone would play.
    Waste of ~$18 IMHO.
    Reminds me of those 256-in-1 knockoff game cartridges that weren't even worth the media they were copied on.

    Furthermore, we should not be supporting a state which has openly said they want to eliminate all jews, that is their goal going forward. You'd have to be pretty twisted to want to support a leadership who is quite open about it.

  • +1

    Wow there are actually ghouls downvoting this. Disgusting.

    • +9

      Just because someone doesn't agree with your view doesn't make them ghouls. Dehumanization is what's fueling this conflict, no need to add to the fire.

    • -1

      Let me guess… You wore your mask, installed and used the check-in app, obediently took your experimental drain cleaner, support BLM kneeling, put Ukraine flags on your car… Yeah, the disgusting ghouls are the ones finally striking back to control terrorists, and software devs funding them aren't. Do wake up to yourself.

      • +11

        Let me guess… you were one of the guys that said "what's wrong with Scomo taking over all the portfolios in private?".

        This is the wrong political debate, it's not the fake left v right crap Murdoch and co have been feeding the world for the last 20-30 years, because it's easier to stoke the flames of tribalism than do real work. Shockingly not everything has anything to do with how you vote and how any decision from the "other side" is a lack of common sense.

        • Don't much care if it was Morrisson in those rolls, someone else from Liberal, or someone else from Labor for that matter. Are you really such a checkers player that you think Liberal/Labor parties DON'T tell their figurehead what to do anyway? You seem to forget all it takes is one vote behind closed doors to switch one for another, so all the gullible people in Australia who keep voting for these two bags of maggot-infested puss think "Now things will change." Labor are the "New Greens" and Liberal is "Labor Lite", they're all as bad as each other, it just takes Liberal a few years longer to drag us into the leftist mind latrine.

        This is a prime example of what happens when you don't get a basic education.

        • That's a rather harsh view to take of yourself. There is therapy for clinical depression.

      • This post makes an interesting subject for analysis….

        "experimental drain cleaner" indicates a strong anti trump/ anti american far right outlook
        "support BLM kneeling" suggests a strong disdain for any victims/ anti "left" outlook
        "put ukraine flags on your car" suggests an strongly isolationist outlook, and or love for mother russia regardless of morality….. either far right or far left, but not middle thinking
        "striking back to control terrorists" suggests a strong support for authoritarian government

        It's pretty hard to round up this herd of mad cat contradictory values, to find consistent rational thought.
        Now THAT sort of thinking would be hard to "wake up to yourself" with.

        • More horseshit. Let's "anal-eyes" your first point. Trump was PRO VACCINE. I realise it can be scary breaking free of leftist mind control, and so that's why so many can't bear to venture outside their little bubbles, but every time Trump crowed about coNvid vaccines, his audience BOOED HIM.

          The rest of your nonsense is just more of the same. Another one led by the ring in their nose carefully put there by the lying lamestream media on every point. Thank goodness the recent vote proved such people are in the minority.

  • +11

    I'm sorry OP but I will never donate to terrorism, especially when there is no way to ensure these don't go to Hamas.

    As sad as it sounds, these people also elected Hamas

    • Palestine from the land to the sea. Hamas was created by isreal which is a grotesque genocidal entity

      • +1

        You speak as if you were in the room when it happened.😂

        • In this and other posts you speak as if you are rip van winkle, stepping into the world as an innocent adult with no knowledge of history.

          However, such would only be a dream…. if you are old enough to type, you are old enough to read a bit of history, instead of making silly comments which reflect an ignorance of how israel came into being.

          • +2

            @rooster7777: I will start by saying I'm not affiliated to either religion. Judaism has its geographical roots in Israel of today. Islam has its roots in Mecca of today. Judaism is an older religion than Islam, and Israel is the only modern Jewish country. By this standard, Israel was inhabitated by Jewish people before Islam existed, and had the opportunity to spread across the region. Modern day Israel was founded in 1948, yes, but the 'true inhabitants/owners' (which I'm guessing you're alluding to this being Palestinians in the region) is subject to how far back in time you choose to go. You're no less ignorant than anyone else.

            • +1

              @niknikniknik: Well…. if you think ownership of something for the last 100 years, or 500 years…. is no more valid than something owned 10,000 years ago…. I'd like to introduce you to some people that wish to evict you, and turn you into a refugee with very limited rights.

              Judaism doesn't have its roots in israel. The religion may have commenced in the geographical area that israel now occupies, but israel the state is a creation of what…. 1948?

              One can make cases for and against legitimate ownership of land (on a national basis) in many regions of the world today…. eg if one's ancestors invaded a country 500 years ago, how do their rights of ownership stack up against if one's ancestors' lands were taken by force 500 years ago. Morally that can get complicated.

              However, the belief that one has legitimate ownership of land because (my) god gave it to me 10,000 years ago…. overcoming someone's rights to the land whose ancestors have been on that land for say…. 1000 years… is very different.

              You may believe both examples are the same…. if you do, I suggest you are ignorant of semi modern and modern law and morality.

              You say you're not affiliated with either religion, which implies to me that you "are affiliated" with some other religion. To my logic, then if you follow some other religion, it makes no sense at all to believe in your particular god, but also give credence to other gods…. unless you believe in some sort of pluralistic system of gods. Are you a viking?

              I guess it may logically leave open the possibility that you are a (I think) southern baptist…. who believes that while their god is the only true god, that the impostor in israel must return to earth before the true baptist god can do their shit…. or some such nonsense.

              Dunno… what are your religious beliefs?
              Me…. I was raised a catholic, but once that indoctrination wore off and I became capable of cogent independent thought, the whole religion pack of cards toppled.

              • +1

                @rooster7777: Again you demonstrate your emotion and assumptions which cloud your judgement. I am infact a staunch atheist, not a fan of religion at all, but respect people's rights to practice them in their own space. I also think the 'ownership timeline' you referenced is very important. Thus, Israel, the sovereign nation recognised in 2023 is my definition of the true current owner of modern day Israeli land. In 2023, what happened in 1948 is no more important than what happened at the dawn of Judaism when it comes to recognising the owner of the land. Hamas attacking Israeli land in 2023 is an act of war on Israel.

    Is there a game called "irony" in the game listing where one side who suffered internment and genocide then goes on to inexplicably visit the same fate on another group of people for 75 years while the west sits by and props up the carnage because they (the USA and UK) didnt want Jewish refugees after WWII, and so Israel uses their casual historic state level anti-semitism and holds it over their heads to get away with wholesale slaughter?

This whinge-fest and amplification of propaganda will run for two weeks, from October 26th-November 9th, 2023. Because just like the NPCs in our games, we support the latest thing."

      • If it's the people of the country, it seems like that is acceptable. Double standards…

      You should make it clear that you are talking about israel and jews…. because many folks have little or no knowledge of history or international politics.

      TLDR…..
      remember and contemplate the horror of the holocaust of WW2.

Have a heart u fools and stop trying to justify the murder of children. Israeli are clearly the greater threat to humanity, to be able to murder so many children and still be perceived by some people as the “good guy”, yall are brain washed sheep or just pure evil. Reality the world and majority of the world are supporting Palestine and I feel sorry for the real Jews that have to live with the guilt and fear of knowning that the whole word knows the truth and continues to see everyday on TikTok and social media the treacherous war crimes of Israelis.

    • +11

      You really think that if Hamas had the technical capability of Israel, that Israel would even exist? Even a country which did not have the missile defence system like Israel would be in ruins with large loss of life and property. Like it or not, might is still right and thats how Israel survives.

        • Apart from being mind boggled, what did you bring? I brought up an interesting connection, building on a previous comment.

          • @lew380: I brought quite a lot of relevant information about the topic…. click on my name to read it.
            Your "interesting comment" was a puerile literal link.

              • @lew380: puerile- boyish… from latin puer for boy, if I remember correctly.

                Good work and luck with the non profit mob. Sometimes people creating acronyms suffer tunnel vision with unfortunate results!
                An unfortunate infamous one was GMH's SIDS model commodore, at a time when sudden infant death was in the media a lot.

                I'm guessing that you'd rather history took the alternative path in the 1876… when in order to obtain a death benefit from his dead stepfather, Alois (hitler's father) changed his surname at the age of 39 from his previous surname (his mother's maiden name).
                If this change of name hadn't occured, young adolph would have been born adolf schicklegruber.

                Wouldn't have been such great theater, clicking the heels and saluting while yelling "Heil Schicklegruber!"

  • +15

    So why do Gaza's friends - Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, UAE not open their borders, take in refugees, supply aid, invest in Gaza etc?

    The answer is simple, they don't want to have anything to do with them either and don't want radical Hamas in their country themselves.
