idk if this is against the guidelines.

why was russias flag banned but not Palestine? seems kind of weird, having some politics on a chess website, but only the less serious one? its undeniable that Hamas is evil. that's a fact. Israel aren't 100% innocent, but compared to Hamas they are angels. Hamas goes out of their way to do extemely terrible things, and if an idf soldier did one of those they would be cooked. because Israel would discharge/punish them. not trying to spark a debate, but why just ban 1 and not the other? kind of weird. weird to ban any at all tbh. not like the Russians are coming on here to say bad things against Ukrainians. again, not trying to spark a debate, just seems odd they ban the flag of one nation, but don't take any stance against the other. is it too controversial? not many people against Ukraine (tho they arent exactly a model nation with a great leader themselves), but there are a lot of people, especially people 13 and under supporting Palestine and spamming comments and saying hateful things towards Israelites, even on kid sites. is controversy the only reason? were they afraid to not condemn Russia?

not a political discussion, just curious on policies of supporting different countries, and even why they would say anything?

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Cream together butter and sugars until combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until light (about 1 minute). Mix in the dry ingredients until combined. Add chocolate chips and mix well. Roll 2-3 Tablespoons (depending on how large you like your cookies) of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Take them out when they are just barely starting to turn brown. Let them sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
