Palestine Action is a direct-action protest group based in the UK. The organization gained significant attention recently when author Sally Rooney announced she would withdraw her books from sale in the UK. Rooney stated that her public support for Palestine Action, particularly after it was proscribed as a terrorist organization in the UK in July 2025, meant she could no longer receive royalties from UK sales. She clarified that her support was for the group as it operates in the Republic of Ireland, where it is not proscribed. This situation highlights the impact of public figures' affiliations and the consequences of supporting groups that face legal restrictions or are designated as terrorist organizations in certain jurisdictions. The group's activities and the reactions to them underscore ongoing debates surrounding activism, free speech, and the definition of terrorism.
