I don't understand it either.
Why remove Russian flag but not Israeli flag?

But they will you it is forbidden to discuss politics, and post a link promoting the one-sided propaganda on Ukraine war.

Please no political discussion in the Forums, thanks for your understanding.

UN reports clearly suggest that Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza so why does chess.com not remove their flag? I can see that a lot of people are already asking for the Israeli flag to be removed. Chess.com became political by removing the Russia flag so people are now justified in asking the Israeli flag to be removed.
