"Palestine Action" is the named group that fulfills Sally Rooney's endorsement, yet where its operations were deemed prohibited by the British administration.

Organization named "Palestine Action," supported by author Sally Rooney, faced prohibition by the British government.

In an op-ed published on August 16, Irish author Sally Rooney announced her intention to use her wider profile to support Palestine. The author, known for her novel Normal People, has declared her support for Palestine Action, a pro-Palestinian group that has been classified as a terrorist organization under UK law.

The designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization has caused controversy and has led to the group facing a ban. This classification has been attributed to its association with Hamas, a group recognized as a terrorist organization by the UK government.

Sally Rooney's stance may be perceived as controversial, as she has been labelled a 'terrorist sympathizer'. However, she maintains that she will use her earnings from her work to support Palestine, and her statement can be interpreted as a declaration of support for Palestinian causes.

The pro-Palestinian group's inclusion on the list of "terrorist organizations" has also led to terrorism-related sanctions, which could potentially lead to associations with terrorist activities. The group has been added to this list and faces a ban due to its designation as a terrorist organization.

The controversy surrounding Sally Rooney's support for Palestine Action has not gone unnoticed. The publication of her op-ed on Saturday has sparked discussions about the role of celebrities in political activism and the potential consequences of supporting controversial causes.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Sally Rooney's support for Palestine Action will impact her public image and career. However, one thing is clear: her stance has brought attention to the complex and contentious issue of Palestinian rights, sparking conversations and debates that may lead to change.
