Netflix has added a large number of Israeli-made films in recent weeks, possibly in an effort to lure back customers after a falling-out over an anti-Israel film.

Last month, hundreds of Israelis canceled their subscriptions after the streaming giant featured "Farha" – a debut by Jordanian director Darin Sallam – that portrays alleged Zionist atrocities during Israel's 1948 Independence War. The film includes a shocking 15-minute scene during which Israeli soldiers massacre a family of Palestinian refugees, including a baby.
It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, received critical acclaim, and was even picked to represent Jordan in the Best Foreign Film category of the upcoming Oscars, but later failed to make it onto a shortlist of 15 films that will vie for the Academy Awards.
The Israeli-made films that have been added to Netflix include "Fill the Void", "The Band's Visit", "The Wedding Plan", "Hunting Elephants", and "Late Marriage."
