Padme: These protections will extend to criticisms of Israel, right?
Anakin: ...
Has someone's show been cancelled over criticisms of Israel?
I'd consider Israel's recent movements, to ban Journalism the government disagrees with, to be far more dangerous that a private company cancelling a show...
Sure, but I mean in countries like US.
China bans all kinds of stuff within their own borders already and nobody bats an eye...
Not a TV show specifically, but Ai Weiwei's gallery exhibition in London was canceled due to a tweet he posted regarding the Hamas attack and Israel. Whatever you feel about their specific comments or circumstances, several individuals and events have been affected due to an actual or perceived pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel message.
