Should Chess.com hide the Palestinian flag as they did with the Russian flag ?

If chess.com should have removed the Russian flag like they have, then they should absolutely remove the Palestinian flag. In fact, they’d be even more justified, given the literal atrocities that Hamas is committing, plus the fact that Palestine isn’t an actual country.
But that’s if chess.com should have removed Russia’s flag. I personally don’t think that was the right call. But even so, the fact does remain that Palestine is not an actual country, so it’s odd to have their flag as an option.
That has always been my point. I don't think it was the right call to black out the Russian flag. But whatever logic chess.com used to justify doing that in that situation needs to be applied in this situation (especially a flag of a "non-country" that is causing people to demonstrate support of these atrocities) or be explained as to why they are not applying it in this case.
