Google removes 'Bomb Gaza' game from store

INTERNET giant Google found itself with explaining to do yesterday after allowing a game entitled Bomb Gaza to be uploaded onto its software store.

The game — in which players fire airstrikes at Palestinians from Israeli planes — was taken down after hundreds of complaints came through.

Gamer William Howgate left a complaint under the comment section saying: “WTF. There is ongoing conflict in which people are dying and you seem to find it acceptable to make a game of it. That’s fucked up.”
