GAZA'S GENOCIDE

Also, please refrain from insulting anyone, We want this to be a clear, non harmful discussion ok?

Let me make this very clear, in this genocide, you are either against it or complicit in it. There’s no middle ground, no “two sides.”

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the world acted in just two days, sanctions, bans, complete isolation. Yet, when Israel commits atrocities against Palestinians, we see no such action. Why? Because Palestinians are Arabs and don’t have blue eyes? Understood.

There’s nothing harmful about standing for humanity.

Why is it seen as “dangerous” or “offensive” to speak up for basic human rights? Calling for justice and compassion shouldn’t be treated as hostility, it’s simply about standing with humanity.

I think a lot of people have just written off the whole Israel/Palestine conflict in general. It's the background noise of a civilization in collapse.

Harmful means non abusive, not using harsh language here.

This is not a conflict, this is a genocide, say it as it is, as the UN said. ITS A GENOCIDE.

And I'm not calling it offensive to speak out, It's just you have to be polite with it and not scream at someone for no reason, that was the reason for my statement.

We haven’t harmed anyone, we’re simply asking for one simple thing:
If you banned Russia for invading Ukraine, then do the same for Israel.

What Israel has done is far worse, systematic destruction, mass killings, and open dehumanization. These are genocidal actions, plain and clear. Their society has normalized hatred to a frightening level.

Go watch The Guardian’s coverage on YouTube and see for yourself what many Israelis openly say about Palestinians, it’s horrifying!!!

Look at these nazis!!!

Eh i continue to be on the middle ground.

There is a middle ground, and it's called not doing anything.

I know the situation is bad for Palestine, But There is nothing i could do to support it, I can't fund a charity,I can't unfortunately donate, I can't Join the Palestine army etc, nor can I help Israel either.

Ok first of all, "nazis" is incorrect to Use because it's someone who is Nazist.

And second, You still have to talk to them politely, Screaming or attacking at them will not make them more pro Palestine, actually, they'll get even more angry.

Another thing, this forum should be on off topic not general chess discussion.

It's surprising me after 11 hours this forum not get closed by chess.com admin, when they're blatantly being hypocrite with Israel flag not erased but russia does.

Maybe they're promoting free speech? That's good.

No, because Palestine attacked first. What's hard to understand about that? Russia would be the equivalent of Palestine in this case.

Looks like This'll be a very long political forum war, Bye everyone temporarily, I'll check to see how things have escalated or if this topic gets destroyed by chess.com.

If you don’t know what really happened, don’t speak like you do.

On October 6, a day before Oct 7, over 100 Palestinians were killed,. in cold blood. That didn’t start with Hamas.

And on October 7, the IDF was ordered to stand down for hours. Netanyahu’s government sat back and watched. They needed a reason to justify what came next, the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Ever heard of the Hannibal Directive? It’s Israel’s own policy to fire on their own citizens if they’re taken hostage. Go read about it before throwing baseless claims.

So no, Palestine didn’t “attack first.” What you’re repeating is propaganda. Educate yourself before spreading it.

And guess what? There’s no Hamas in the West Bank, yet Palestinians are still being massacred daily there.

So what’s the excuse this time? it’s pure occupation and apartheid, nothing else.

#34 I agree, but rather than promoting free speech, I believe more that the admin is lazy.
