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.

      It is not hard to feel compassion for Palestinians at large.
      It is impossible to feel compassion for those who rape and murder women and babies and slaughter whole families in their homes - then drive hostages back to tunnels.

    The caption of this deal is… very… confusing…
    My first reaction was "I don't think they need games".

    Update:
    The game collection is very awkward too.
    I know the intensions are good.
    But I have very mixed feelings now.

    "Meet your end"
    "Froggy's Battle"
    "Foul Play"
    "Gas Leak"
    "Slasher U: An 18+ Horror Movie Dating Sim! Act 1"
    "Rebellion Focus"
    "GODKILLER: First Blood Edition"
    "Apocalypse Roadtrip"
    "GONCHAROV MUST DIE"
    …
    and so on

              @Broden: Maybe you should watch some actual history and real news. Rather than trying to be brainwashed. I have seeing the opposite of video you posted, but I keep my thoughts.

              You can track my comments history, and find I am an atheist, so I do not like religion from both side.

              I am seeing photos and videos of tens and hundreds of innocents children dead.

              I am also seeing fake news of 40 babies decapitated, women raped(turned out to be Israel soldiers did it), children burnt(turned out to be AI generated), Hospital bombed(Israel provided both cropped video and edited voice recordings). One side have no credibility whatsoever left, one side can not be heard.

              And here is a bit more history for you:
              In the 11 years leading up to the creation of the state of Israel in Palestine in 1948, Zionist extremists who lived in the territory of Palestine under the British Mandate used terrorism as a military strategy to accelerate the establishment of an independent Jewish state. Their violence was directed against the British authorities who governed Palestine and against the Palestinian indigenous population throughout Palestine. Over 57 violent attacks were carried out by Zionist terrorist groups (e.g. Haganah, Lehi, Irgun – ultra-nationalist groups from the far right wing of the Revisionist Zionist movement) killing over 5,000 Palestinians and dozens of British.[2] While Zionist terrorist groups assassinated UN personnel, murdered British officers and attacked British military headquarters to overthrow the Mandate, they terrorized Palestinian inhabitants in order to provoke mass flight, displacement and migration.

                    @Vater Woods: This is correct, Haaretz (an Israeli media source) interviewed multiple IDF soldiers and officers who admitted they had shelled the houses in the kibbutz after other methods had failed to push Hamas out. They had also launched rockets on their own forces when they realised their methods were ineffective. This is why so many hostages were killed in the crossfire - the IDF were shooting anyone and anything (words of Yasmine Porat).

                Its shocking that you think that every Israeli image is AI generated, every story about rape and murder is made up but all the stories about palestinians is 100% true.

                Talk about brainwashing Hundred of people are standing in streets around the world all in support of a TERRORIST organisation. Hamas is a Terrorist organisation. They may living amongst the palestinians but they are TERRORISTS. They would just as easily kidnap you as they would any Israeli. They would just as easily kill and behead any of your children as they would any Israeli. They want to destroy the west as much as they want to destroy Israel. The more you sympathise with them the more power you give them.

                Final point, the palestine of that era "1948" was not the same palestine of today. Maybe you should look that up…

                  This is figure from 2008 but before 7th October.

I am not saying what Israel did or did not do, but Israel has been the most condemned state by the UN in recent times, this is despite: Russia attacking Ukraine, China coercing over Taiwan and Hong Kong, in Syria president Assad killed hundred of thousands, I can go on.

                    @Vater Woods: Sorry, you think "UN data shows Israel bombed and killed 150,000 Gazan since 2008, 33,000 of those children"?

                    That many people haven't died from the conflict since 1948, let alone 2008, even if you include all of Palestine and Israel.

                    Since 2008 (prior to current events) 6,500 Palestinians have been killed. That includes civilians and combatants (since it's notoriously difficult to tell them apart).

                    A lot more than should have been killed, but nowhere near the 150,000 you claimed, and that figure is inflated by two years of bad fighting where over 3,000 people were killed, many of which were HAMAS militants.

                    On an average year, a few hundred Palestinians are killed in the conflict, including combatants. For context, in the U.S., over 1,000 civilians were killed by police last year.

                    ~300 a year including many (or mostly, according to Israel) combatants is also not proportionate to targeting >1,000 civilians in a single day. No wonder Israel is reacting even more disproportionately now, just the like US did in Iraq and Afghanistan after 11/9.

                        In August alone 150 Palestinian children were shot by Israel … in the West Bank

                        Where's your source? Because I can't find any support for your claim. Even the explicitly pro-Palestinian Al Jazeera doesn't support that claim:

                        "More than 200 Palestinians and nearly 30 Israelis have been killed so far this year in the occupied West Bank and Israel – a level of violence surpassing last year’s entire death toll and the highest number of fatalities since 2005, the United Nations Middle East envoy has said."

                        200 Palestinian all year in the West Bank including combatants and conflict between Israeli and Palestinian civilians, NOT 150 children in August by the IDF, and that's the deadliest it's been since 2005! Until HAMAS attacked in October, of course.

                        Again, over 1,000 civilians died at the hands of U.S. police last year. Palestine is a combat zone, filled with terrorist launching rockets and religious extremists on both sides. It's amazing that the IDF is able to keep causalities as low as it does.

                        Where are all these insane "alternate facts" coming from?!

                          -the terrorist activity by jews in palestine under the british mandate
                          -the amount of financial and military support by the US to israel since 1945, both in absolute numbers and a per capita basis
                          - the amount of welfare support by the US to its own citizens, vs to israel, on a per capita basis
                          - the number and subject of UN resolutions blocked by the US
                          - the attack on the USS liberty by israel
                          - to round it off, perhaps the history of Menachem Begin, the jewish leader of the terrorist organisation irgun, the bombing of the king david hotel by
                          that terrorist group, and how such a man came to be elected as the prime minister of israel.

                But in our time, the "Palestinians" were given everything to make their land free. Israel left Gaza a long time ago. Did this change anything? Israel gives them water and electricity, jobs and medicine, and money, so what? This only increases the number of rockets falling on Israel and weapons being fired at Jewish children. Starting with Rabin, they were slowly given everything they needed, but they never received the peace they were promised in return.

                Golda Meir said it right: "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."

                The one who seeks the truth, let him find it.

                Why? Is it because the average life expectancy of people in Gaza is less than 18?

                18 is the median age, which is the result of an incredibly high birth rate. Gaza has ten times as many births as deaths (until they started the latest war).

              Many people realise that one of the reasons the UN is seen as "corrupt" is because the US and a handful of other countries automatically vote against any UN resolution against israel…. regardless of the content. Your attempt to whitewash israel because they have so many humanitarian based resolutions against them is bizarre. If an action is morally and factually justified, do you stop doing it because someone blocks it, or do you keep trying?

            You're 100% correct, HAMAS is essentially an unelected dictatorship and is getting Palestinians killed. HAMAS' goal is to completely eradicate Israel, which leaves no room for compromise. When HAMAS are removed then, and only then, will peace be possible.

They tried their luck wit hthe current stragtegy and its worked for 40 years. Sure one day they will end, but they tried their luck and got 40 years out of it. For the leaders themselves they are happy with their run.

                  The problem is you dont understand what success means, you dont empathize and understand the motivation like in many human endeavours is selfish. The leaders are mostly concerned a bout number one and the situation iin gaza shows this. THe leaders of Gaza tell everyone to fight, but they are the first to hide, again showing thaT they are hypocrites and only care about themselves and the rest is bullshit.

                        Great. What's your point? You named two people, neither of which are from HAMAS. HAMAS' goals are explicitly to wipe out Israel. Many, many people have died fighting for that, including some on the October 7th attack. It's irrelevant that, yes, just some of its members prioritise themselves over the goals of the organisational whole.

                        So you expect a leader to be on the front lines? It's not cowardice to have bodyguards when you're the most hated person on the planet, its commonsense.

                        Hitler had the choice to flee from the Russians, but chose not abandon Berlin. Before that, he had many, many opportunities to live a life of luxury, but he repeatedly chose to pursue his ideological goals instead. I mean, Hitler came to power in 1933, the Eagle's Nest was complete in 1938, but WW2 didn't begin until 1939. Hitler had achieved luxury long before he pushed on ideological goals.

                        Yet again you are brainwashed into believing the hype and words and forgetting the selfish angle of the man.

                        I have no doubt Hitler was selfish, but he was a megalomaniac driven by ideology. He died in pursuit of an ideological goal, not in pursuit of luxury, which he had already achieved years earlier. He wrote a whole book on his ideological goals long before having any luxury. Have you ever heard of Mein Kampf?

                        In both cases above i have showed the man when it really counts and when he has a choice does the OPPOSITE of the bullshit he speaks. Hitler and Putin demand people fight and die for him, and they themselves hide like cowards in safety thats the point

                        No, you have not. Hitler chose to fight in WW1. He chose to take a risk at the Beer Hall Putsch. He then chose to start WW2. Hitler was an ideoloically-driven ultra-nationalist who died for that cause, not for the luxury he had already achieved.

                @Vater Woods: So what is your point? Where is the critical thinking? What is your way forward?
                Put yourself in their shoes, and tell me your response.

                @Vater Woods: Don't move the goalpost, nobody questioned you on how many people have died in the most recent conflict, though they have questioned you on believing that every Israeli civilian death is A.I…

                Everyone's pointing out that you're factually incorrect about 150,000 being killed in bombings since 2008, or about the life expectancy in Gaza to be 18 years old.

                  @[Deactivated]: Life expency is not the same as Median age.

                  Does anyone goto school these days and not understand the difference ?

                    @CowFrogHorse: You must've tagged the wrong person as I agree with you. I think you meant to tag @Vater Woods - they're the one that thinks median age = life expectancy.

            @Vater Woods:

            The figures are from UN, and its said out loud un UN meetings multiple times.

            Multiple people have asked you to provide references but you still have not. Please reference where the U.N. said this, because others have referenced where the U.N. have said the opposite.

            In this United Nations report, the U.N. states that the life expectancy for "the Gaza Strip, 73.4 years". That's from 2010. The C.I.A. link was more recent, which shows that the life expectancy in Gaza has increase by more than 4 years over the last decade!

            I also saw the median age being 18, but when nearly half of the population being at the age of less than 14

            Yes, half the population is below 18, half the population is above 18 - that's what median means:

            me·di·an
            /ˈmēdēən/
            adjective
            1.
            denoting or relating to a value or quantity lying at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of observed values or quantities, such that there is an equal probability of falling above or below it.

            I guess it upto the individuals critically thinking capability.

            LOL. You're either being intentionally dishonest/trolling or you just don't understand what you're saying.
