I support Palestine Action. If this makes me a ‘supporter of terror’ under UK law, so be it,” said Rooney in an op-ed in The Irish Times.

The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister’s office has issued a warning to Irish author Sally Rooney and anyone else who should support Palestine Action. The direct action group organizes “non-violent yet disruptive” demonstrations to protest the United Kingdom’s support for Israel amid its ongoing siege of Gaza.

Sally Rooney risks committing a terrorist offence if she uses her BBC royalties to fund Palestine Action, Downing Street has claimed. The Irish author said she will donate her earnings from her books and BBC adaptions to support the proscribed terror group.
