Remove IDF from CSGO

The Issue

IDF is portrayed as the good guys in CS:GO yet in reality they commit war crimes by bombing Gaza and murdering unarmed civilians in Palestine, According to JVP  Israel is an apartheid state, and as such they do not treat Palestinians equally, So seeing IDF skins as Counter-Terrorist in CS:GO seems a bit incongruous, so you can only imagine how insulting it is to those directly effected by the crisis to see them portrayed as "the good guys".

As of current date Saturday, May 7, 2022 the Israeli Police is invading Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem by attacking Muslim prayers resulting in hundreds of injuries due to smoke bombs and rubber bullets, Let alone  illegal Israeli settlers invaded the Mosque with Israeli Police protection, Why is that bad you might say? That is because this would cause a full religious war between Muslims and Jews according to the leader of Hamas, even though Palestinians just want to perform their prayers in the mosque. 

More than 40 unarmed Palestinians were murdered by IDF in the last 3 months and many of them were just kids. Source: Al Jazeera

What needs to change is in the title of this petition, We need to remove IDF from CS:GO since this game is one of the most popular eSports games on Steam, And as such many CS:GO players play Dust 2 which has the IDF soldiers play as Counter-Terrorists, Which means the player automatically assumes they are good, And would prevent them from acknowledging the fact that they are playing the bad guys (T) thinking they are playing as the good guys (CT) instead. 

 

I urge you to make a difference and stop the Israeli propaganda that aims to silence the Palestinian struggle and resistance against their illegal occupation.
