The Gaza University campus was destroyed in a matter of seconds, and the United States is looking to Israel for answers.
The Israeli military targeted a prestigious Palestinian institution in southern Gaza. An abandoned structure that appears to be the main campus of Isra University is shown in a viral video being destroyed by an implosion. It has been claimed that the US has asked Israel for an explanation regarding the purported attack on the institution. According to the US State Department, Washington is compiling details regarding the purported incident.
Why have individuals turned to video games as a means of showing support for Palestine?
The well-known massively multiplayer online (MMO) game Roblox featured a march for Palestine that went viral, raising awareness of political action via video games. Pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong and the Black Lives Matter movement have previously used these venues for protest. For those who are unable or unable to participate in direct demonstrations, they might offer another way to express their participation. Additionally, game makers can produce their games with political overtones. However, there are still concerns about the extent to which these demonstrations in video games have a real-world impact; some have called them performative clicktivism.
