Critics of Google are calling on the company to remove a “disgusting” game called “Bomb Gaza,” which calls for users to drop missiles from Israeli aircraft onto cartoonish Hamas militants while avoiding killing innocent civilians.

The app, which was uploaded to Google’s Play store last week and has been installed more than 1,000 times, tasks would-be users to “drop bombs and avoid killing civilians,” according to its description and a series of screenshots. Points are scored by annihilating black-clad terrorists while avoiding civilians and children dressed in white.

I can't find the reference, but I read somewhere recently that Google has been letting apps get into its Play Store without any screening or pre-approval process. The article also said that Apple is a lot more careful about what it allows into its stores.
