Irish novelist Sally Rooney has announced her intention to use royalties from the British Broadcasting Corporation to support Palestine Action, a group recently banned in the United Kingdom under terrorism legislation. Writing in the Irish Times, Rooney stated that she would continue to back the group and direct action against genocide, even if her support is deemed illegal under British law. She criticized the British government's crackdown on activists, highlighting the arrests of hundreds of peaceful protesters and questioning the selective enforcement of political policing. Rooney also called out the lack of intervention from the Irish government and warned that the current climate is making it unsafe for artists and writers to visit Britain.
