Sally Rooney's UK Books Ceased Over Palestine Action Royalty Pledge
Irish author Sally Rooney's books will no longer be sold in the UK after her publisher, Faber & Faber, announced they cannot pass on royalties due to her pledge to support the proscribed group Palestine Action. The move, framed as a joint legal strategy, highlights the absurdity of UK anti-terrorism laws that equate direct-action protests with groups like ISIS. While Rooney's works remain available globally, the decision has sparked debate over censorship, with critics calling it a brave stand against overreach and opponents labeling it support for terrorism.
