IGN is a video game news website. Not everything needs to focus on the political issues of the time. Video games offer a great way to escape, and seems to be a perfect example of an industry that does best when ignoring such issues.

Just like this site. dang often mentions how certain topics or forms of communication shouldn't be discussed here not because they're unimportant, but because they're not the focus of this site.

How odd, then, that the IGN staff decided to post this article without coming to that realization, and then suddenly came to that realization after an unrelated post by IGN Israel who was very offended at this attack on Israel.

"The impact seeing the Palestinian flag next to the IGN logo had on me is impossible to overstate, or the article on Game Informer. Even if it was only up for a day before their teams were silenced, that day matters. How many people saw that flag, that post, & educated themselves?"

English media & social media of every kind is covering this in great detail.

The answer to tha_rami's question is none. Most people are blindly repeating what their favourite social media stars have posted.

How many people have a clue about Hamas or their actions or their policies?
