Netflix’s ‘Palestinian Stories’ Directed by BDS Supporters, Watchdog Reveals 

A whopping 89% of Netlix’s new “Palestinian Stories” series, competely misrepresenting the Jewish state, were directed by anti-Israel activists promoting BDS.

The vast majority of films featured in Netflix’s new “Palestinian Stories” collection were directed by BDS supporters, the pro-Israel watchdog organization Im Tirtzu uncovered.

Last week, Netflix announced the launch of a new collection of 32 Palestinian films aimed at highlighting Palestinian life. As of Monday, the streaming giant uploaded 28 of the 32 films to its collection.

A new exposé by Im Tirtzu revealed that of the 28 Palestinian films currently on Netflix’s platform, 25 of them (89%) were directed by BDS supporters. The 28 films were created by a total of 19 directors, 16 of whom (84%) support boycotting Israel.

Im Tirtzu further discovered that 12 of the directors called to boycott Israel as recent as May 2021, signing an open letter titled “A Letter Against Apartheid.”

The letter accused the Israeli government of perpetrating a “massacre” in Gaza and of protecting and encouraging “murder, intimidation and violent dispossession.”

At its conclusion, the letter called to boycott Israel.

“We call for an end to the support provided by global powers to Israel and its military…Israeli apartheid is sustained by international complicity, it is our collective responsibility to redress this harm.”

Critics of the new Netflix collection argue that the films portray a biased depiction the conflict while glorifying terrorism and omitting the thousands of terror attacks perpetrated against Israeli civilians.

“It is unforgivable that Netflix has become an outlet for the spread of material written by propagandists who seek to boycott Israel and remove it from the map,” said investigative journalist David Collier.

“This at a time of rising global antisemitism,” Collier continued, “much of it disguised as anti-Israel activity. Instead of Netflix supporting moderate voices – it has acted with gross irresponsibility, and by promoting the voice of extremists – its actions can only do harm – both to Israelis and Palestinians.”

Emily Schrader, a journalist and a leading activist against BDS, said: “It is unfortunate that Netflix is giving a platform to directors who advocate division and bigotry in the arts of all places. Film and music are tools that bring people together, yet Netflix is elevating those who actively promote hatred and reject cooperation.”

Matan Peleg, CEO of Im Tirtzu, called it “disgraceful that Netflix is featuring propaganda films directed by BDS supporters whose sole goal is to slander and delegitimize the only democracy in the Middle East.”

“If Netflix wants to tell the Palestinian story, it should start by contacting the thousands of bereaved Israeli families who are victims of Palestinian terrorism,” Peleg added.
