Netflix on Monday took a stand against antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
"We stand united against antisemitism in all its forms, including the worrying increase in hate crimes and Holocaust denial," the popular streaming service posted to its official Twitter and Instagram accounts.

"We must never forget that appalling chapter in human history," the company added.
The comment section, meanwhile, inundated with posts about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the hashtag "free Palestine," indicated the need for such a stance.
Other commenters, however, expressed appreciation for the announcement.
"My grandfather's and grandmother's parents were Holocaust survivors," one commenter wrote. "I've heard several truly horrific stories. We will never forget."
"Thank you!" wrote another person. "As a Jew I deeply appreciate this post. As an Orthodox Jew, I implore you to feature more content that portrays the beauty and joy of my community."
Yet another commenter wrote: "I am so pleasantly and gratefully shocked to see this support from a major outlet."
Yoseph Haddad, the CEO of "Together – Vouch for Each Other," an NGO which aims to bridge the gap between the Arab sector of Israeli society with Israeli society as a whole, also praised the statement from Netflix.
"Thank you Netflix for this important statement that unfortunately for so many is not a given. I see the thousands of anti-Israel comments here that instead of agreeing with the post and attacking the phenomenon of antisemitism, prefer to attack the State of Israel (which was not mentioned at all in the post). For all the haters, I want to tell you one thing – if you think you will succeed with your blind hatred you've seen too much science fiction on Netflix. Watch Fauda instead!"
