Jesus Christ, this is I getting nsane. When did it become unacceptable to say that genocide is bad?

When it interferes with the bottom line.

When the US supports it, it’s not genocide anymore. It’s just becomes “self-defense”.

A technique stretching all the way back to the Roman days

Is anyone really surprised we’re still up Brutus’ ass when the library of congress only just recently acknowledged that the US system is based much more on the Haudenosaunee Confederation than the Roman Republic, no matter how much the marble fap gang tries to insist otherwise

The article says that the app description said something about “killing children”.

It’s not really surprising google removed it. I mean they could’ve just edited the description or whatever but… policy I guess.

Sounds like it will be back any minute.

Google probably doesn’t have a stance here. They just sanitize everything for you to consume without a second thought. I wonder if it violated some children-related policies.

Capitalism taking its natural course of prioritizing capital/profit over human lives.

Join/organize protests and Socialist movements if you want change.

Because despite treating Israeli Holocaust Survivors like dirt, Israel has successfully sold itself as being justified because of the Holocaust, so outside observers who’ve never heard of soap being a slur in hebrew because jews who didn’t experience that contempt the ones that did flinch when you point out how the early settlerists established bank infrastructure with the Nazis to facilitate well of jews moving to Israel under pressure, or how current settlement communities literally have Lebensraum ideation of taking everything between the Nile and Euphrates.

These psychopaths are so hell bent that the Arabs don’t even get their own ancestral homeland anymore if the zionists get their way, Aden is just a piece of Israel that lost the memo!

It’s probably just an antimalware bot going wild. An unlucky filter somewhere matching “israel” (i had to regex-process invoices once, same shit), blown out of proportion by the culture of outrage doing it’s thing.

But now that Google is forced to admit to one side, they will probably prefer to say nothing and just take the blame. It will be forgotten in a month anyway.

Not condoning the bullshit, just pointing out that the app is back up on the store as of 5hrs ago

Direct Play Store link

edit: furthermore, if actual boycotting is your legit interest instead of impotent, anonymous outrage, here’s a similar app that offers the same functionality.

If they wanted genocide, why aren’t they killing the millions of Palestinians that are still alive outside of the war zone?
