After it was updated and made it simulate the Al-Aqsa flood attack, the Israeli and Western attack on the electronic game “Knights of Al-Aqsa” was renewed at a strong and intense pace, amid demands to ban it and ban it in all countries of the world due to its “anti-Semitism.”
“Knights of Al-Aqsa” is an electronic video game launched by the Brazilian young man of Palestinian origin, Nidal Negm, on the Steam platform in 2022. Its hero is a young Palestinian named Ahmed, who was arrested and tortured by the occupation army for 5 years, and lost his family at the hands of its soldiers, to decide after His departure joined a resistance group called “Knights of Al-Aqsa”, which reflects resistance to the occupation.
This electronic game, which is characterized by high-resolution quality and advanced technology, has been subjected to Israeli criticism and attacks, including ministers, parliamentarians, and officials, on the grounds that it incites violence and is “anti-Semitic.”
After the attacks of October 7, 2023, the young man, Nidal Negm, issued a new update to the game, which perfectly simulates the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, with interactive scenes showing the storming of the Israeli “Ra’im” military base with gliders and the killing and capture of Israeli soldiers. It also included scenes of the occupation army vehicles being targeted with an Al-Yassin missile after the invasion of the Gaza Strip.
Following the update, the attack on the game was renewed, and the anti-cyber-terrorism police in Britain moved and ordered “Steam” to delete the game from its platform in the United Kingdom, bringing Britain to join Germany, Australia, and Israel.
Tweeters on social media denounced the pursuit of a video game by Israel and other Western countries, which have already banned it in Britain, Germany, and Australia. The episode (12/3/2024) of the “Shabakat” program recorded some comments.
Abdullah said in his tweet: “The game “Knights of Al-Aqsa” was attacked by the Zionists and Americans under the pretext of terrorism, while leaving their crimes behind in reality!”
Captain Makki called for support for the inventor of the game, and tweeted: “The designer of the game, Nidal Najm, is a Palestinian refugee in Brazil, and its sales are his source of livelihood, and the Zionists have been harassing him for a year because of it… whoever can afford it should buy it and support him.”
Ahmed Sami says: “I bought the game even though I had not played on the computer for a while. Such stubbornness and provocation.”
According to Ali Bahaa’s tweet, “The game sparked great controversy because it presents the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from a different perspective, but it is clear that it has transcended the limits of entertainment and has become a new arena for conflict.”
Khaled Safi wrote about the West’s double standards and said: “The Call of Duty game, which allows the invasion of Iraq and the killing of women and children, is permissible, while the Knights of Al-Aqsa game, which simulates the October 7 attack and the resistance to liberate the land, is unacceptable… Tell me about the West, I will tell you.” About double standards.
It is noteworthy that the Knights of Al-Aqsa League is still available to users on the Steam platform in other countries of the world.
