A VILE video game in which Palestinian militants slaughter Israeli soldiers can still be played online despite the Hamas horror attacks.
Scenes include “freedom fighters” using babies as human shields and the Israeli flag being splattered with blood.

In a promotional video, released after those attacks, a gunman uses a paraglider to storm an army base in a grim echo of how some of the Hamas savages swooped on Israeli communities.
Critics fear the game could act as a “recruiting sergeant” for the next generation of jihadists.
An IDF spokesman said: “It is consistent with the Hamas practice of indoctrination aimed at young audiences.”
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre human rights group, said: “It is akin to producing an al-Qaeda game recreating the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London.”
The game was released in April.
It was later dropped by PlayStation, Xbox and Google stores but it is still available for £6.39 on US-owned streaming platform Steam.
Brazilian-Palestinian programmer Nidal Nijm has insisted: “I made a game about Palestinian resistance. My game is not about Hamas.”
