“Sally Rooney is using her voice to call out international law and human rights violations in Palestine,” Dr. Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid said on Monday.
“I hope these calls result in practical actions that will stop the horrors we’re witnessing carried out by Israel in Palestine; to stop the genocide and forced displacement and end the Israeli occupation.”
It comes after the award-wining writer said she would use earnings from BBC adaptations of her books to support Palestine Action following its proscription in the UK as a terrorist organization after a series of incidents, including activists breaking into a Royal Air Force base in England and spraying red paint on two military planes.
