Top Entertainment Industry Executives Support Netflix After Threats from Anti-Israel Group

More than fifty top entertainment industry executives are supporting Netflix after the streaming site was threatened with a lawsuit for distributing Israeli television series “Fauda.”The executives added their signatures to a letter sent to Netflix’s Ted Sarandos, chief content creator, and Peter Friedlander, vice president of original series, addressing the potential lawsuit. The anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement is threatening to sue Netflix unless it cuts ties with the show, which it calls a “violation of international law and human rights,” the letter said. “Fauda,” which first premiered in 2015, is an Israeli political thriller that focuses on the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
