An Israeli boycott against Netflix?

After the report that tomorrow (Thursday) a Jordanian film will be released on Netflix that includes a scene in which Israeli soldiers are portrayed as murderers, a protest began online against the streaming giant - and a wave of disconnections from the service.

The film that caused an uproar is "Fareha" by the Jordanian director Doreen J. Salam, which focuses on the Nakba, and deals, among other things, with a 14-year-old Palestinian girl whose father locks her in a warehouse to protect her from IDF attacks in the village.



Among the leaders of the protest can be found the model and businesswoman Natalie Dadon, who wrote on her Instagram account to her 798,000 followers: "There is something very cynical and painful when a film comes out that aims to present us as a cruel and merciless nation.

We who took to the streets to dance and rejoice as soon as the UN decision on the 29th of November 1947 was announced, we did not know then that here we were facing damned battles and we were dragged into a war in which all sides suffered heavy losses, but never!

The Jewish people have never behaved cruelly, never carried out purges,



"We are not the ones who put families in gas chambers, we are not the ones who watched and persecuted, we are not the ones who raped and murdered!


We are the ones who were always on the other side," added Dadon.

"There are enough streaming companies today, nothing will happen to any of us if we disconnect. Share with me the photo of the disconnection."

Netflix - stop the humiliation and don't give a platform to a movie that defames Israel and shows the IDF as executing Palestinian babies! pic.twitter.com/SEOsBH36i6

For me, it is delusional that Netflix chose to release a film whose entire purpose is to create an inciting misrepresentation against IDF soldiers.

Well Netflix cuties @netflix


I think you crossed the line.


You really won't put on a series that shows IDF soldiers as murderers and expect me to remain your customer.

On Monday, the chairman of Otzma Yehudit, MK Itamar Ben Gabir, commented on the publications, saying: "The Jordanian incitement film that will be broadcast on Netflix proves how much hypocrisy there is in the world towards Israel, which is attacked with murderous terrorism even before its establishment. This mind engineering should be dealt with decisively by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In explaining and presenting the real picture of who the murderers and bloodthirsty are. We must not pass over the attempted blood plot that will reverberate in the world in silence."



The film, which was also chosen to represent Jordan at the Oscars this year, was screened at several festivals around the world, including the Toronto festival.

The director said on stage there that her film is based on true stories she heard.

"I heard about a Palestinian girl who was locked in a room to protect her life. She also shared this story with a Syrian girl who grew up and got married, and she shared this story with her daughter, which is me. Since then I haven't stopped thinking about this girl."

The trailer for the film states that it is based on true stories.



On her choice to make the film, which was chosen to represent Jordan in the competition for the Oscar for the international film, she added: "Many directors talk about Palestine, but I felt that there was nothing about the origin of everything that is happening today, which is 1948. I felt that the Nakba catastrophe is an important event that is being ignored, and that is missing In Arab cinema. There are documentary films, but there are no feature films, which are the films that evoke and convey more emotions."
