A video game titled Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque lets users play as a "Palestinian freedom fighter" who shoots IDF soldiers.
Some quick highlights:
- The dev’s father was a Fatah fighter (socdem Palestinian liberation party)
- The game over screen reads “YOU BECAME A MARTYR. Rejoice, O mother of the martyr, rejoice! Prepare your son for his marriage (in paradise). Tie the band on all your pain and spread his wedding handkerchief. Spread your anger against the oppressor, his injustice must be stopped.”
- “In this game, the player does not shoot Israeli civilians, women, children, elderly – only soldiers. Also in this game, there are NO images of sexual content, illicit drugs, religious desecration, hate speech against any group, ethnicity, or religion, [antisemitic] propaganda against Jews, Nazi propaganda, or boasting of any terrorist groups and/or other unlawful acts. This game only contains the virtual representation of the Palestinian Resistance Movement against the Israeli Military Occupation, which is officially recognized by the United Nations."

If you downloaded it already you can still go to stuff like the Steam Discussion page (though I don't recommend it, every single post not by the developer seems to be either antisemetic or islamophobic). Here's the post from the creator about the delisting:
Hello friends,
The zionists could not ban my game because it's political content, but they found a mistake of mine, and sent a DMCA take down notice to valve. The problem is that image of Telaviv City on the Iron Dome Panel Screen. I did not know that image was copyrighted, so the Israeli company who made that image sent this DMCA take down to Valve, and it is a standard to take the game down until things are fixed up. But it is just temporarly, I am already fixing it up. and re-checking all assets to see if there is any other copyrighted material. Be sure it will come back online, very soon, Insha Allah, and with many improvements, like the ability to cancel the Bullet Time effect, an updated Training Mission, and now the Knife Kills work like a charm. So the bad is for good :steamhappy:
