British lawmaker Zack Polanski said journalist Sarah Helm was speaking "common sense" after pro-Israel groups called on police to investigate her over a post on X supporting Sally Rooney, according to Middle East Eye. The comments came as Helm faced pressure following her backing of Palestine Action, an activist organization.
The investigation request marked an escalation in disputes over public figures' statements regarding Palestinian activism and pro-Israel advocacy in Britain.
