<h5>In which video game are kids showing support for Palestine?</h5><p>Many kids are joining protests supporting Palestine on Roblox following the ongoing <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/israel-s-iron-dome-overwhelmed-by-repeated-attacks">Israel-Hamas</a> war. Videos on social media show them walking with Palestinian flags in a digital world. This comes after weeks of death and destruction in Israel and Gaza.</p><p>Many Roblox players are too young to protest on actual streets. So, some of them are using a Roblox virtual space or server to show their support for Palestine and their opposition to the death and destruction in Israel and Gaza.</p><h5>How are they protesting?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/kids-show-support-for-palestine-in-a-video-game%2FRoblox%202.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=0662b741-c404-4c6c-8e86-7ddec63b04f8&amp;_gl=1*wuur2q*_ga*MTIzNjQ0ODg2NS4xNjgzNzk5MjMy*_ga_CW55HF8NVT*MTY5ODczNDExNi4yODAuMS4xNjk4NzM1MTQ1LjQ5LjAuMA.."><figcaption>A virtual Palestinian flag in the game.

It can be seen that a huge group of players are marching (as their Roblox characters) through the game's digital streets, waving Palestinian flags.</p><p>There are signs with supportive messages for Palestine. There's also a big Palestinian flag at the entrance of the virtual protest.</p><h5>What is Roblox?</h5><p>Roblox (launched in 2006) is one of the world’s most popular virtual playgrounds. It's like a gaming place where one can play games made by others or make their own games. David Baszucki and Erik Cassel developed Roblox.</p><p>If someone wants to play Roblox, the first thing to do is sign up for a free account. But, if one is under 18, they need their parents' permission. After creating an account, one can make an avatar for themself.</p><p>When the profile is ready, one can play many games on Roblox. The players appear as avatars on Roblox. Their profiles do not show personal information like age, gender, etc. There are also moderators who make sure there is a friendly and safe gaming environment and no hate among players.</p><h5>What are Roblox’s views about the protests?</h5><p>On Roblox, people can talk about the Israel-Hamas war, but they have to be nice and not say mean things. Roblox stopped the server for a little bit to check it. Then, they started it again. Roblox found that the server doesn't let people be mean to each other. But Roblox is watching it to make sure it stays friendly.</p>
