Yes, of course, that's what we're doing, but that's not enough. We need to push to do this through all media and platforms with visibility and reach. If Lichess had been known for taking a stand on these issues and had very clear reasons for doing so, why not now?
For those who come to deny the genocide or to say that we must wait to make a decision, here is the report of an Israeli organization:

This should be in the Off-Topic forum

This is a question for the Lichess administration, it's in the correct subforum.

What makes you think that everyone here agrees with you and supports the same side? Not at all! Many are 100% for the opposite side! And in any case, this is not the site about that, it's about chess. This is not the place for something that is completely out of topic on the site, what you want.
@Inventor_1 If you read the thread development (I'm not interested in debating this topic, I just want a response from the Lichess administration) you would know the answer, but since it seems that you have the same understanding as the rest of the abilities, I will answer you again. Yes, I know there are many people who support genocide, I am very aware of the rise of the far right around the world. Murdering tens of thousands of children is wrong and unjustifiable. Starving an entire population is wrong and unjustifiable. Murdering healthcare workers, humanitarian workers and journalists is wrong and unjustifiable. Bombing hospitals and schools is wrong and unjustifiable. Disregarding all international law and violating all human rights conventions is wrong and unjustifiable. I don't care if there are people who are in favor; we're at a moment in History where we know which side is right. We're seeing the atrocities that occurred during the Nazi regime repeated, how come there were so many people in favor of the Nazis there too, isn't that a questionable issue then? Or how does your argument work?
Lichess has already spoken out against the invasion of Ukraine, Black Lives Matter, LGTBIQ rights and feminism. How come so many people are against these causes, they shouldn't have said anything?

What genocide? Is there genocide there? There is no genocide there! Has it not occurred to you that there is simply protection there from very bad people who attacked – terrorists? And has it not occurred to you that many of the terrorists’ accomplices or simply members of the terrorists’ families also got caught in the crossfire, since the terrorists hid under the skirts of their wives and daughters? ))))) The overwhelming majority of whom, by the way, were very happy when the terrorists killed many people for nothing. I remember a lot of videos like that back then, I saw them personally. And I am not extreme right-wing, just right-wing. But the most important thing is that it is not on the topic of the site. That is why you are proposing something that is completely inappropriate for the site. For example, I am not proposing the exact opposite of what you are proposing here. Although I could. But I understand that it is not on the topic of the site. Do you understand now?

Ha! Has it not occurred to you that this is, for example, because they think and understand situations? And what, where in their brains did they determine that the truth is on this side - that they spoke out for that side? Ha! Elementary. Where did you get the idea that they are for the same side as you? Your assumption is very unfounded and even ridiculous! And you do not understand that if someone is defeated in a crushing manner, then it is quite likely that he is defeated in a crushing manner for a reason, right? Ha! You have an absurd error in thinking that the weaker loser must be protected. Not at all! Often he loses for a reason, gets punished! Which is fair and absolutely right!
I'm not going to debate with someone who advocates genocide. There's plenty of information on the subject; in this thread there's a link to a report from an Israeli organization with the data that proves it. You're being reported for hate speech.

You can file a thousand complaints against me! I do not incite any hatred, unlike you. I (on the contrary) stop your attempt to incite hatred. So you can even complain about me to the UN, so absurdly! ))))))))))))
You've just justified and defended a genocide, there are few demonstrations that promote more hatred than that.
