Why does Chess.com close forums that talk about censoring the flag of Israel?

It is clear with the censored Russian flag that Chess.com is affected by issues outside the sport.

The question is: Why don't they also censor the flag of Israel? are they in favor of invaders who murder children and innocent civilians with the same excuse: "they hide terrorists" ?

And why do the Admins close the forums about this topic?

Censor the flag of those murderous invaders, as they did with Russia or does Chess.com support them?

the flag is where people are playing from. i didn't chose the american flag. these days i don't like it because it's embraced by idiots that have no love for it or what it stands for.

kinda like censoring flags because you don't like another country.

me? I despise israel as a NATION, but that doesn't mean every israeli is a war criminal. wanting to censor others says more about you than their places of origin says about them wannabe gatekeeper

now gal gadot? THERE's an INDIVIDUAL I don't like

bernie sanders? MY HERO!!!

how about railing against the corrupt, at least in the US, media that deliberately spins ALL muslims as terrorists and suppresses the truth about israel. MOST people don't even know isreal is a world recognized war crime state. you'd do more making a fuss about THAT than attacking a flag in some back alley no-one's paying attention too.

you want to ban war criminal flags, ban the american flag... what with all its off the books bombing of civilians in countries no one's even heard of, supporting isreal no matter what it does, and with one party's deep ties to putin.

then let's ban the british flag for STILL holding colonies and sticking it to them.

I bet your enthusiasm for human rights is waning right about now

Yes, it should be, I was really surprised when this application censored the Russian flag... Why?... do political issues influence Chess?

What makes me angry is the following:

why for some nations there is censorship and for others not?

You sound like a Terror supporter. Israel is clearly innocent in the current conflict.

There is a general rile about political type discussions not being allowed in the forums. That basically falls under that.

If you have concerns about the policy, you should contact support.
