I don't think slandering multiple nations constitutes "protected speech. " In fact, maybe not in Britain, but if a private broadcaster aired something like that here they'd probably be subject to litigation; it's not true, they knew it wasn't true and it damaged the reputation of both Israel and Palestine. Should I be able to say, "hey, it's a fictional account based on real events and I'm a private citizen, so it's none of your business if I want to air a show portraying all Brits as cannibals"?
When James Bond was captured and tortured by the North Korean regime a few movies ago, or assaulted by Bolivian cops in the last one, should those countries be suing the makers of the movies?
