We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

To be clear, it's an Israeli film.

As winner of the best film category at the Ophir awards, The Sea now becomes Israel's entry to the international film category at next year's Oscars.

This is what their Culture Minister looks like btw:
uncultured minister
Not very cultured if you ask me.

Yea I wouldn't bother. I think the reply to the top comment says "if you don't support our cultural genocide movement you're a white supremacist. In general I have just stopped rooting for the human species.
