And Israel\u2019s human rights abuses, from the unlivable conditions in the Gaza Strip to right-wing fanatics forcing Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, cannot be ignored. The IDF\u2019s relentless bombing and violence against a people with no military cannot be ignored. The harassment and violence against worshippers trying to celebrate Eid at Al-Aqsa cannot be ignored,\u201d the editorial staff wrote, completely ignoring the terrorist organization Hamas\u2019 role in the entire conflict.<\/p>\n<p>As with other gaming websites, Fanbyte provided a list of charities where people could donate to help the people of Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/video-game-news-websites-support-palestine-ask-for-donations-before-retracting\">reported<\/a> on Tuesday, multiple other gaming websites posted similar statements attacking Israel and supporting Palestine, following the media\u2019s continued narrative that Israel is the sole aggressor. Some of those websites, including IGN and Game Informer, removed the pages siding with Palestine and asking for donations.<\/p>\n<p>IGN\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IGN\/status\/1394176331668070401\">released a statement<\/a>\u00a0Monday morning explaining its decision to remove the links to charities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a track record of supporting humanitarian efforts and charities across the globe. In the instance of our recent post regarding how to help civilians in the Israel-Palestinian Conflict, our philanthropic instincts to help those in need was not in-line with our intent of trying to show support for all people impacted by tragic events,\u201d the statement said. \u201cBy highlighting only one population, the post mistakenly left the impression that we were politically aligned with one side. That was not our intention and we sincerely regret the error.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other gaming websites, such as GameSpot and Kotaku, have left their articles and donation pages up.<\/p>\n<p>The move from Fanbyte to call out \u201capartheid, genocide, and oppression\u201d caught the attention of Colin Moriarty, a games writer and developer, who <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/notaxation\/status\/1394749437189177349?s=11\">asked<\/a> if Fanbyte would also stop \u201ccovering products of corporations like Activision-Blizzard and Disney that openly do business with a totalitarian dictatorship that disappears its people and runs ethnic concentration camps?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moriarty, of course, was referring to China, which has for years imprisoned Uyghurs in internment camps where they are regularly tortured.<\/p>\n<p>Moriarty followed up his tweet by pointing out that Fanbyte is owned by Chinese company Tencent, meaning it is unlikely they would ever voice support for Uyghurs and others harmed by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
