Irish author Sally Rooney is effectively under a ban in the UK where she can no longer sell her books, because of her support of Palestine Action. In a conflation of protest with terrorism, the UK government defines Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, which has resulted in the arrest of thousands of peaceful protesters, many of them senior citizens. A country that bans writers for speaking out is not a free country.
Solidarity matters.
