Israeli ministers have called for a game inspired by Palestinian
resistance, to be removed from the web, The Middle East Monitor reported.

‘Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque’ sees gamers experience life as a
Palestinian resistance fighter and work to end the occupation of Palestine.

Created by Palestinian-Brazilian Nidal Najm, the game is inspired by his
father’s experience of struggle when he was part of the Palestinian
resistance in Lebanon in the 1980s, MEMO continued.

Ahmed, the character in the game, is a Palestinian student who was
imprisoned for five years by the Israeli occupation. The occupation killed
all of his family members in an airstrike and, upon leaving prison, he
decided to avenge their deaths. To do this, he joins the Knights of the
Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Head of the Jewish Power party, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, has called on the
Israeli occupation government to intervene to stop the spread of what he
called an “antisemitic game”.

“The Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Justice must make an effort and
intervene with the Brazilian authorities to prevent the dissemination of
this game that incites murder,” he said.

Nidal’s family comes from Al-Qubab village, in the Ramle district. His
family was forced to leave during the 1948 Nakba and moved to Lebanon. They
later moved to Brazil following Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Nidal
was born and raised in Brazil, where he studied mathematics at the
University of Amapá, MEMO reported.
