      • Suicide bombing?

    • +34

      Yeah, it's called US funding.

        • +15

          You're objectively wrong on so many levels.
          Since 1994, the US has provided slightly over $5 billion via USAID. They donate approximately $340 million per year to UNRWA ($338 million in 2021, $344 million in 2022).
          On the 30th of March 2024, the US organised to send $2.5 billion worth of weapons to Israel. US military aid in 2023 alone, exceeded $3.8 billion. There is substantially more money going to Israel than Palestine worldwide, but especially from the US.

          • +3

            @Jec: So many levels? I stand corrected on the totals, but it doesn't change the fact the US is the single largest donor to this course.

            It's also well documented that UNRWA funding is controlled by Hamas, is used for terrorist activities and personal enrichment of its leaders living abroad - Haniyeh, Mashal and Marzuki are all billionaires. UNRWA staff have taken part in terrorist activities. Any dollar going to them is a dollar too many.

            Shame on the OzBargain community for losing its moral compass and the many useful idiots here for condoning terrorism.

          • +4

            @Jec: Correct and what is Hamas doing with that money?
            Building underground tunnels and weapons to launch terror attacks on Israel

          • +1

            @Jec: Yes, for defence (Iron Dome specifically).

          • +2

            @Jec: Funding of UNRWA is also essentially a subsidy for Israel that allows Israel to maintain occupation without taking on the costs of being responsible for the people they occupy.

          @elektron You're a bit naive to think that port will be anything but for their own agenda. Also it's being built out of the rubble of destroyed palestinian buildings and inevitably victims remains.

    Good on 'em! Some good games in there, fantastic price!

    • +7

      Can you list a few of the good ones?

      It's not really about the games, I guess, but even those just donating might want to play some, which ones are good?

      Only one I can see that I've heard of before is A Short Hike (most of us will have that one from the numerous previous freebies).

    Thank you for purchasing Palestinian Relief Bundle.

    You purchased the co-op bundle on 2024-04-21 20:00:05 for $8.00 with the email [email protected]. This page has a unique URL for your purchase. You should have also received an email with a link to this page. If you ever lose the URL for this page you can request it to be emailed to you from the support page.

      never gonna play these games but $8 was worth it just for the tears from the biggest crybabies in the middle east and man… is there STRONG competition there… and HERE

      • +13

        Thank you for sharing. Did they include the soapbox with it?

        Pretty sure donating $8 to Red Crescent would have been a more effective way to support those in need, but doing that doesn't allow for an ego stroke & to flex on Ozbargain.

      • u sound like the same tonyjzx flog from reddit who doesnt even own a jzx and posts about shit cars in sim games

      No NUTS, no deal!

  • +12

    Only about half of these are PC games, the rest are game assets (for game devs) and TTRPGs. Of those PC games, probably only about 10-15 are really worth playing, and most of those have been given away for free before, or included in other bundles.

      I struggle to see any israeli as innocent, unless they're one of the tiny abused minority that show outstanding morality and speak out against genocide.

      • +10

        Same goes for the other side. They overwhelmingly support Hamas and October 7 attacks.

        • +26

          Palestinian land is under occupation by israel, and has been for many decades, contrary to international law. Israel and the US continuously block UN resolutions which would create an independent palestinian state, thus leaving it under permanent occupation with no end in sight.

          In WW2 france was under occupation by germany. In france in WW2 there was armed resistance to the foreign occupation, predominantly called the maquis. The committed attacks against the german occupiers, with the support and approval of britain and the US.

          On several occasions there were reprisals by the germans against french civilians as retribution for french resistance attacks.
          Oradour-sur-Glane is perhaps the most famous incident, where german SS troops massacred 642 citizens of the town, and burnt it down. It has been left that way till this day, as a reminder of Nazi atrocities in WW2. The allies tried 65 of the 200 SS for war crimes for this.

          Israel through the IDF has massacred tens of thousands of palestinian civilians, and the world at large stand by (aside from the US and some western countries that actively assist the IDF by supplying the arms to carry out the atrocities)

          About 400 IDF and 1000 israeli civilians have died in recent events. About 30,00 palestinian civilians and unknown (to me at least) combatants have died.
          97 journalists and at least 230 aid workers have been killed by the IDF in recent events.

          In my eyes palestinians are under occupation, and justified to take action to liberate themselves. But most of those 30,000 killed haven't been taking action. Israel actively targets journalists and aid workers as a strategy to keep their own version of holocaust away from public eyes, and to use starvation as a strategy to dehumanise and starve to death palestinans.

          If you see that as a balanced situation, rather than an illegal occupation and genocide, then I don't see you as a reasonable fair or balanced person.

          I have no affiliations or heritage from the middle east, jews, or muslims. I am an australian born man who grew up being told that israel was a brave little nation surrounded by threats. As I started to question things, my views changed regarding the rights of israel to that land, how they treated the original occupants, why the US gives them such massive political, financial, and military support….. and whether they were a brave little outpost, or a replica of the barbarity of WW2 germany.

          • +8

            @rooster7777: Goes to show what the bottom line of the US empire is. Supporting and abiding genocide live streamed across the internet. Nakba of 1948 is worse since the propaganda machine can just cover everything up back then. This is from a country that calls them selves the world police.

          • -3

            @rooster7777: Oy vey!

          • +1

            @rooster7777: Hamas is the elected government and has governed for many years. Gaza is not under occupation. Hamas does not want a two-state solution. Hamas advocate for the genocide of Jews. Even according to the numbers provided by Hamas, indicate there is no genocide committed by the IDF.

          • +8

            @rooster7777:

            About 30,00 palestinian civilians and unknown (to me at least) combatants have died

            You forgot to mention the 13,000+ children massacred, and an unknown number buried under rubble.
            Just not too long ago, several children were bombed in daylight in a playground in Rafah (which was supposed to be a safe zone) by a targeted air strike.

      • +1

        Go help in Gaza then. See how far your white skinned life and views go there

        • +11

          The first problem would be the IDF shooting you dead, like a journalist or aid worker.

        • +2

          See how far your white skinned life and views go there

          You do realise many Palestinians and Arab Israelis are unmistakably Caucasian-looking and would pass unnoticed walking through any Australian city? Just as a random sampling, see this video. I've met light-haired, blue-eyed Palestinians that could have been mistaken for Germans.

          They don't have some kind of "lynch-whitey-on-sight" policy in Palestine because the Eastern Mediterranean has been a melting pot for millennia and Levantine Arabs are probably some of the most phenotypically diverse people on the planet. The President of Syria is blue-eyed and white-skinned. The acting President of Lebanon honestly looks pastier than Tony Albanese. The world isn't black and white, literally and figuratively.

            @Miami Mall Alien: I have spent actual time there and know exactly what people can look like.
            You have possibly missed the point.

            • +1

              @Clambabula: And yet you still typed out that incredibly ignorant insinuation that "white skin" is somehow mythical in the Levant, so evidently your well-travelled past hasn't endowed you with any wisdom or special insight into the situation here.

              You have possibly missed the point.

              Judging by the trail of verbal diarrhoea you've left throughout this thread, I don't think you ever had one.

              Other than…
              "Brown sand people" = bad/terrorists/not really human beings/only supported by my political enemies/lol, who's counting how many of them die
              Jews = eternal victims/reigning oppression Olympics champions/chosen people/above criticism/it's not wrong when they do what they accuse others of doing like terrorism/genocide

        Your right, those party goes sure did deserve to be rapped and murdered. How dare they dance for peace

    • +21

      Did you know Israel murdered more hostages than rescuing them? Oh and we have hundreds of thousands innocent lives that are starving and not to mention 10 of thousands innocent lives dead. Think of the disproportionate scale mate… Who should be getting urgent help…

    • +5

      And there I was repeating everything the news tells me.

      I'm not saying to take a side, but I'm saying that if you look at this —objectively—
      that the 'other' side also has "hostages" (eg. keeping children in jail too).

      So, the captured people are used as a 'bargaining chip'.

      Russia and US are in a situation like this now, where they have captured people,
      and negotiating their release or 'exchange',
      and China has it as well, … heck even Australia has exchanged people captured.

      Realities don't make the news, but that does not mean,
      one should believe the story and reject the reality.

      Capturing people and using them as a 'bargaining chip', is an age-old tactic.

    • +31

      So Palestinian hostages don't matter? Or are they not equal in your eyes?
      By the way, Israel killed more hostages than rescuing them. Go protest that like the Jewish families are doing in Israel

      • Palestinian hostages, taken by Hamas? Yes! I care, so I hope Israel can eliminate Hamas as soon as possible, and I believe many Palestinians have the same idea as me.

        • +6

          I wish Hamas is gone, they have no place in the 2 state solution. Many naive people who bought into Israel's hasbara propaganda ignores the fact that Israel is involved in the funding of Hamas. Use critical thinking to figure out why

          • @cmyk:

            no place in the 2 state solution.

            even the 1-state solution,
            always votes against recognition
            of the oppressed at the United Nations,
            and won't even let the other flag get hoisted,
            amongst all the flags of other nations.

        They do not ..

  • +6

    Funny thing is, I see a lot of people who are anti-Israel just because they hate America and the West even though they live in the West

    • +31

      Objecting to how some things have been done doesn’t mean people “hate the West”. The point of a democracy is people should be able to raise issues when things aren’t being done properly. We should query how our tax dollars are spent, what our governments support, the influences in society, etc.

      Go back and have a look at the history of the region. If you look at the area in pre 1948 maps it was named Palestine. The West is pretty integral to what happened in 1948 and since then. The issues are complex, and there is no simple solution, but I think most people agree this was not handled well from the beginning. Once you throw religion into the mix then it is a powder keg that periodically has explosions.

      Frankly the hardliners on both sides need to get out of the way and a two state solution negotiated. Otherwise, one day, the region will end up flat, black and radioactive and nobody will be able to live there.

      • +6

        You should distinguish between the concepts of country and region. The state of Palestine was not established until 1988. Before the establishment of Israel, Jews in Palestine could also be called Palestinians.

        • +2

          I think you may have come to the point of my discussion. Jews in Australia are called Australians because the region is Australia. We don’t hive off places like Caulfield and say they are called Israel.

          • +4

            @try2bhelpful: Palestine (Palestina) was the name given to Judea by the Romans when they quashed a Jewish revolt and exiled the Jews c. 135 A.D. The Philistines had been mortal enemies of the Jews, so naming the land after them was intended as a deliberate in-your-face insult to the Jews.

            I really don't want to argue with someone who can't distinguish between the concepts of country and region.

            • +7

              @raydebug: So you want to pick through history as to when it was recognised as a Jewish country and when it wasn’t? It has been a “country” run by a lot of different empires and I doubt too many of them would’ve considered it was an autonomous Jewish state.

              Me, I don’t have any religion so I don’t have a stake in the outcome apart from wanting to see that innocent people aren’t hurt.

              • +2

                @try2bhelpful: Even if I attach the history here, you don't even know what it means, still unclear about the difference between country and religion.

                A very important truth is usually states and borders are established through war or negotiation.

                • @raydebug: Frankly I know the difference between country and “religion”. I even know the difference between a country and a region.However your Freudian slip is very telling. I don’t think a country based on a specific religion is a good idea.

                  As I said, the people who have run this region throughout most of history wouldn’t have seen Israel as a separate country. This is a manufactured country carved out of a region. By your reckoning then the Ukraine should roll over and let Russia have the parts they seized. We should step out of the way and let China take Taiwan. I’m sure they would have no trouble seizing it in a war.

          • @try2bhelpful: But there was a plan to give Tasmania to the Jewish people before they returned to the “Promised Land”.

            • @beach bum: The below says parts of WA and NT.
              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberley_Plan

              Frankly I would’ve preferred that option, provided it didn’t result in further areas being annexed :) A stable area that isn’t disputed would’ve been a lot less contentious.

              • -1

                @try2bhelpful: That area was probably too close to the largest Muslim country by population in the world and would have been an excuse for a war as Indonesia also claimed most of northern OZ in their old maps .

              • +3

                @johnfuller: Yes, there is good evidence of sexual assault committed on the hostages by Hamas. If you're on Hamas' side, there's no evidence, as the pro-Hamas camp will just dismiss every piece of evidence as unreliable.

                  How can people condone this or deny the horrific rapes and assaults. They need a recent history lesson

            • @Duggo3729: So they can "arrest" a civilian outside their territory and take and hold them within their territory ? So what's the difference between that and what hamas did - seems like double standards ?

        • +14

              who funds hamas? ISRAEL

              who benefits from the war? NETANYAHU

              how the hamas get past the 6m height solid concrete apartheid wall between gaza and israel without being detected? ISRAEL LET THEM

              what happened before oct 7? PALESTINIANS KILLED AND HARRASED BY ISRAEL DEFENCE FORCE DAILY.

              if israel kills all your children and your wife, what state of mind would you be in? wouldnt you want revenge? do you expect palestinians not to uprise against the occupation and abuse?

              • +1

                @johnfuller: Israel offered a ceasefire during Ramadan in exchange for the hostages, but Hamas did not accept it.

                  @gto21: lets be fair here, there are thousands of palestinians in israeli jails getting tortured every day, go read up about it, if you want a peace deal, you release them all, you create a two state solution and let the palestinians grow and be at peace, they dont want to attack israel but they are left with no choice when your being abused every day, cant get through crossings to go to work, you dont know if your going to live until tomorrow every day at risk of being shot by an israeli sniper for no reason

                  the hostages cannot be released, israel killed them long time ago

                  and when hamas entered homes on oct7, it was israel that shelled the homes using helicopters, hamas didnt torch babies or rape anyone thats all fabricated by usa and israel so its fed down your throat with no evidence ..

                  • +2

                    @johnfuller: In the past, Israel would release more hostages in exchange for fewer hostages from Hamas. Hamas does not want a two-state solution. Hamas want to attack Israel. They said Oct 7 will happen again and again. More Palestinians before Oct 7 go to work in Israel than Jews go to Gaza. More Palestinians go into Israel than Palestinians go into Egypt before Oct 7. Hamas did commit sexual violence on the hostages.
