It was removed because of language used in the description which has been fixed. It was not removed because of what it did or what it was for.
There are plenty of legit things to get mad about. This wasn't one of them.

So has the app been put back since the issue was fixed?
The app sadly doesn't appear to be FOSS and thus not on F-Droid, but I did check it out. Streisand effect? Or not apparently it was removed over semantics.
Just a reminder that folks are encouraged to review the rules in the sidebar. It's okay to disagree, but please keep it civil (rule 8). Thanks!
It's still on ApkPure and alike, so just another reason to avoid Play Store for net-neutrality.
I do not have any political opinion about it and try to keep myself away from the subject, but Play Store removels of non-virus apps are just Google shooting itself in the foot... again... π
Good! This is discrimination against a people group and against companies who are being unfairly targeted.
Imagine if this app let you avoid companies that supported Black people? It wouldn't be tolerated for one second.
This is exactly the same. Well done Google.
If Israeli wasn't murdering Palestinians regularly, there would be no need for such an app. Imagine that.
They aren't murdering Palestinians. It's war and Hamas hide behind citizens
The IDF has a long tradition of using excessive force and not caring about collateral damage and deaths of innocent civilians. I don't believe that's changed overnight. https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/06/04/israel-50-years-occupation-abuses
I suppose Hamas was hiding behind this Palestinian, too? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/video-appears-show-cheers-israeli-sniper-shoots-palestinian
The way I see it, claiming Hamas is hiding behind citizens is just an excuse for the IDF to murder two Palestinians for every Hamas fighter, without stressing their conscience: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk/index.html
The blood of innocents is on their hands and people like you, supporting them. Hamas, the IDF, the Israeli government... All murderers or complicit thereof.
