Following the most recent set of violent military strikes by the Israel Defense Forces that have leveled entire buildings in Gaza and left over 180 Palestinians dead, IGN posted an article linking to a variety of Palestinian charities and even gave a Palestinian flag prominence in its masthead. Sometime earlier today, all of that content, along with a tweet promoting the post, was removed with no indication as to why or if it will be republished at a later date.

Shortly after the IGN post went live yesterday, IGN Israel shared a statement on social media accounts owned by IGN Israel stating that it condemned the U.S. IGN article and tweet supporting Palestinian charities. At this time it’s unknown if IGN’s parent company, Ziff Davis, demanded this content be removed, or if the content was removed for another reason. As of this writing, the post and tweet remain deleted.

Another outlet that showed support for Palestine and its people was Game Informer. However, its article promoting charities was also removed today. As with IGN, there has been no public indication as to why this post was removed or if it will return.
