To βίντεοπαιχνίδι, που έκανε την εμφάνισή του την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα και είχε ξεκάθαρο στόχο να προκαλέσει, κατέγραψε πάνω από 1000 downloads, σύμφωνα με τον Guardian, ενώ προκάλεσε "τσουνάμι" αρνητικών σχολίων και απειλών για μποϊκοτάζ της Google, στη σελίδα του Google Play, που το φιλοξενούσε. Το "Bomb Gaza" όπως αναφέρει το δημοσίευμα, δημιουργήθηκε από την εταιρεία PLAYFTW και το όνομα του υπευθύνου της, που μέχρι στιγμής δεν έχει προβεί σε κανένα σχόλιο, είναι Roman Shapiro. O Guardian αποκάλυψε ότι υπήρχαν τουλάχιστον δύο ακόμα εφαρμογές για smartphones και tablets με θέμα την συνεχιζόμενη σύρραξη στην περιοχή που έχει κοστίσει τη ζωή 1800 Παλαιστινίων πολιτών, μεταξύ των οποίων και 400 παιδιά, εκ των οποίων η μία δεν έχει αποσυρθεί ακόμα από την Google.

'Bomb Gaza': Users call on Google Play to remove game that lets users carry out Israeli air strikes on Palestinians
The app, which was uploaded on 29 July, has been installed up to 1,000 times and received at least one report as “inappropriate”. As of Monday evening, the game was no longer available on Google Play.
According to the game’s description and a series of screenshots, users gain points by controlling aircraft marked with Israeli flags as they drop bombs on cartoon Hamas militants.
It comes as more than 1,800 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Gaza conflict. Israel has confirmed that 64 of its soldiers have died in combat, while three civilians have been killed by cross-border shelling from Gaza.
Responding to the game in its review section online, Iqra Iqbal wrote that it was an “abomination”, adding: “This is a violation of human rights. My beloved brothers and sisters are dying in Gaza and some stupid ignoramus decides to make a game like this.
Others said it was a “messed up game” and “disgusting”, while Saadat Ali said: “Request all to scroll to the bottom and flag this app as inappropriate to Google.”
A spokesman from Google said that the company does not comment on specific apps, but that it "remove[s] apps from Google Play that violate our policies."
