Why do you close a topic instead of giving an answer?

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.

By the way, they also wrote a report on you for inciting hatred.

You've just justified and defended a genocide, there are few demonstrations that promote more hatred than that.

Was there genocide there? Didn't you just make it up yourself, completely unfounded? Weren't there (on the contrary) responses to terrorism and genocide? After all, if there had been genocide there, the world's leading countries would have stopped it? And Lichess would have spoken out against it! But as you can see, that's not the case! And that's why Lichess doesn't do what you demand of Lichess. Lichess doesn't agree with you. Lichess doesn't agree with your absurd, unfounded fantasies about genocide there. And that's why Lichess doesn't express himself in the way you absurdly demand of him.

Trump is good, I respect him very much? But what does he have to do with it? Nothing!

Thanks for continuing to up the thread, even if it's just nonsenses. I hope someone from Lichess answers me.

Complaining about people "continuing" the thread with "nonsenses" is completely invalid when your own complaint is a borderline useless comment that contributes nothing to the discussion.

I condemn Israel's government for killing so many innocent civilians in their goal to eradicate Hamas, but whether or not a genocide is occurring in Israel frankly doesn't matter. A country's flag purely just represents where someone is from, whether that be country of birth or country of citizenship. People are still allowed to use the Russian flag despite it initiating a war on Ukraine, so I don't see why people shouldn't be allowed to do the same regarding Israel.

I am a Lichess team member, this is not an official statement and represents my own view of the discussions here.

Forum threads are usually closed due to violating our community guidelines (https://lichess.org/page/community-guidelines) or forum etiquette (https://lichess.org/page/forum-etiquette). If you would like to appeal specific decisions you can do so at lichess.org/appeal. Moderation decisions do not constitute any official stance on the concepts/ premise of a closed thread.

Regarding your overall question, there are so many atrocities globally which Lichess has not commented on. The only public statement on a conflict Lichess has made (as far as I recall) was on the Russia Ukraine war - which was written in response to official actions and statements from FIDE and the IOC that pertained directly to chess.

Lichess has held 2 fundraisers to raise funds for aid in the region since the outset.

guess this is the former thread:

@inkydarkbird -

The flag of a nation literally just represents where you are from. Nothing else.

this is simply wrong.

for some or many it's - of course! - much more, e.g. national pride, love for your country and culture, devotion to its fellow men, the will to fight and defend it, your home.
it can be mingled with bad feelings when you're not happy with your state or nation, when you feel unrightly treated by its laws, when it summons you to do what is against your nature.
when your country violates everything humans know as fairness even within a war (geneve convention, white flag, helpers & civilians are taboo, ...), you might get ashamed of it.

by many institutions, the russian flag got banned. (olympics, fide, chessdotcom, worldchampionships athletics, ...). so they are n o t : ...

still allowed to use the Russian flag
there.
i personnally block everyone who still shows that flag in their profile. i have huge respect of russians risking their lives by merely demonstrating against that warlord.
