A painting of Lord Balfour housed at the University of Cambridge’s Trinity College was slashed by protest group Palestine Action.
The painting of Lord Balfour was made in 1914 by Philip Alexius de László inside Trinity College. The Palestine Action group specifically targeted the Lord Balfour painting, describing his declaration as the beginning of “ethnic cleansing of Palestine by promising the land away—which the British never had the right to do.”
Sure, let’s forget about history and the people that made it. Forgetting about people like Balefour will erase history and assure it will never be repeated.
Wonder why most people don’t care about what’s going on in gaza.? The people that fight for its plight as such insufferable c…s that manage to alienate whole swaths of the public with their stunts.
And the person in the video must be mentally ill, so I hope they find her a bed in a closed institution.
How are people forgetting about him?
I assume he has a wikipedia page which is still intact.
Perhaps the destruction of a reminder has something to do with it.
Tells me the wiki still up: “Look it up on the internet bro, do your own research.”
You just crossed the line into obvious trollling.
You were doing good until then
He’s pantomiming the stupid attitude being displayed here.
Nah, someone suggesting a Wikipedia page is still up is making the suggestion to look it up… it’s stupid.
What’s the point of Wikipedia if not to preserve history? I can get more information from a wiki than a painting
In that case, I think we should put up huge portraits of Hitler in my neighborhood. The old destroyed synagogue is just a few hundred meters away and it would be a shame, if we would forget who did that!
Yeah cause that is the same. A portrait in a museum and what you suggest. With advocates like you, the Palestinians don’t need enemies.
I’m not advocating for Palestinians, I’m advocating against your argument.
Actually, I wouldn’t have known about the history without this painting being destroyed. Balefour is now in the public consciousness, more so than he was a week ago.
