Irish author Sally Rooney's books will no longer be sold in the UK because she planned to donate royalties to the banned Palestine Action group. Her publisher, Faber, stated UK law prevents them from transferring earnings to Rooney, making sales impossible. Rooney expressed readiness to accept consequences for her beliefs. Palestine Action, which targets Israel-linked companies, was banned after a June 2025 incident, and its proscription faces ongoing legal challenges.
