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.”

    You’re getting down voted, but you’re absolutely right. Zionists will use this as another excuse to ignore the movement, while it does nothing to help the Palestinian people.

      Yeah. I think so many people just have this “it’s for a good reason”, and don’t consider if it’s useful if even positive for them.

      Might have have a better impact to force them through social movement to remove the painting. Achieving that would have been a much stronger message.

      Still I think most downvotes come from people that don’t like I’ve brought up Russia’s invasion as something negative.
