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.”
The comments are full of people who value one shitty painting more than they value human life.
Or people who can’t see any causal pathway between slashing the painting and lives being saved.
It’s a form of protest. Protest against against Britains continued support for genocide and in this case even the root cause of the current situation. It’s great symbolism and nothing of value was lost.
Yeah some of us don’t see “protest” as a way of saving lives. How does that work, in your opinion?
It doesn’t. What are you doing instead that is saving those lives then?
Just like that one black preacher babbling about his dreams, right?
