Netflix removed most of the films in its “Palestinian Stories” collection. In Israel, however, the entire landing page was nuked.

Means.TV is better.

Some amazing documentaries on there about the genocide such as 'Gaza fights for freedom' released in 2019

If they were due to expire, all together, that would be odd, but not necessarily an issue. The article points to them not advertising the expiration, like they do for other films. Surely the filmmakers can comment on that if its odd.

It would be quite disappointing from Netflix to do so after they were ambivalent about other controversial topics like comedy specials with bigoted views that were offensive to many. They claimed to make no judgement on content but make it available for people to decide.

Do you take the time to comment on all the things you don't care about? Or only the things you care enough about, to proclaim you don't care about them?

Who cares? The "Palestinian" stories where watched by nobody and they where often factually creative.

If nobody watched them, how does anyone know they were "factually creative"?
