Request clarification on forum policy on Judaism

Question

My post on living a Jewish life in the USA was closed as not being Jewish enough: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/98951/seeking-jewish-version-of-the-mid-20th-century-green-book-travel-guide-for-afric?noredirect=1#comment330071_98951

But there seems to be great inconsistency in how the standards for this forum are applied. The following posts seem no more Jewish than the current post that was closed as not being Jewish enough (including one on non-Jews):
Jewish Community in China Around WW2
Did Shuls in Europe display their countries' flags prior to the holocaust?
Do Jewish historians consider the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE on par with the Shoah/Holocaust?
The curse of cannibalism
Showing support for jewish community by publicly wearing a Kippa while not being jewish?

I request clarification of the standards for this forum.

Answer 1

The relevant policy here is this part of our FAQ:

On the other hand, questions unrelated to Judaism, even if they are about...

• other religions
• Hebrew language
• Jews, Jewish history, and Israel

... (examples) are generally off-topic.

Being about the lives Jewish people does not, by itself, make a question on-topic. Being about Judaism does. For more clarification on this point, see the following prior Meta posts:

• Are questions about Jewish culture (NOT religion-centric) in scope?

• FAQ says History is off-topic and on-topic

To address your examples:

• Your post about historical methods of responding to Antisemitism was about how Jews lived but not about Judaism, so it was appropriately closed.

• Jewish Community in China Around WW2 , similarly, is about Jews surviving in Japan during the Holocaust, but not about Judaism. I just closed it.

• Did Shuls in Europe display their countries' flags prior to the holocaust? is about synagogue practice, which is an expression of and regulated by Judaism, so it looks on-topic to me.

• Do Jewish historians consider the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE on par with the Shoah/Holocaust? doesn't seem to me to clearly have anything to do with Judaism, per se. If the question were fleshed-out more, it might become clear that it's on-topic. I'm going to close it and request such fleshing-out if relevant.

• The curse of cannibalism is quite clearly about understanding a passage in the Torah, which is part of Judaism.

• Showing support for jewish community by publicly wearing a Kippa while not being jewish? asks about the religious appropriateness, under Judaism, of appropriating a Judaism practice, so it's about Judaism.
