We are deeply concerned about the timing of Netflix's decision to drop content that highlights Palestinian voices and narratives, especially as Israel is actively committing genocide in Gaza, erasing Palestinian lives and culture. While this may be part of a broader contractual plan, the current context demands clarity and transparency. Netflix has a responsibility to explain its decision and to reaffirm its commitment to amplifying diverse voices, particularly Palestinian stories, which are being silenced amid this ongoing atrocity. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that the Netflix’s platform remains a space for occupied Palestinians to be seen and heard. - Robert McCaw
Last week, Netflix deleted at least 19 films by Palestinian filmmakers or about Palestinian stories from its platform. Storytelling is a crucial aspect of keeping Palestinian history alive — Netflix is literally erasing Palestinians’ stories and perspectives from popular culture. Sign now to demand Netflix reinstate the Palestinian films it deleted: https://lnkd.in/ggpnsCF4

This month, Netflix quietly erased at least 19 films that were part of "Palestine Stories," leaving just one film. With its massive resources, Netflix can—and should—renew these films for the world to hear. Demand they bring back Palestine Stories. Sign the petition.: https://lnkd.in/ggpnsCF4
