More than 70 recipients of The Game Awards' Future Class are calling for a statement to be read at next week's The Game Awards, on their behalf, in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

interesting that u choose to empathize with gazian grandma getting "vaporized" but israeli grandma being kidnapped and murdered or worse, is fine and unmentionable.

some might call that hypocrite

The IDF kills orders of magnitudes more Palestinians than Hamas kills Israelis. It's not hypocritical to be more upset about ten innocent dead people on one side than I am about one innocent dead person on the other. Hamas is a terrorist organization, and the IDF even more so.

that's a shallow and the woke approach I see people keep repeating. u don't really care for Palestinians as much as u care to make yourself look humanitarian.

calling idf a terrorist organization not only make u sound clueless but also reduce the severity of real terrorist organizations, like hamas, isis, and the like.

Lmao if being against bombing hospitals and refugee shelters is woke then I guess I'm woke
