It indeed is very sad
These are facts that Hamas is openly sharing. There are videos of all these things, because Hamas is flaunting it and posting it openly.

Correct, these probably aren’t Biden’s own words. But it’s the official declaration of the current American government, and as a Jew, I really appreciated the administration’s stance on this.
I can’t even imagine what it’s like.
Thinking and looking more, I have a possible reason why chess.com hasn't said anything. There's currently a big chess tournament happening in Qatar, an Arab Muslim country. It's possible that any statement from the chess community which condemns Hamas would be offensive to Qatar, and could result in the chess players there being in danger. It's just a thought, no way to know whether or not this is the case. But if it is, that would give chess.com a pretty legitimate reason to hold off on saying anything, at least until the tournament is over on the 20th.
