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.”

    What’s the money collected going to do when Israel isn’t letting aid in?

      I don’t know, smuggle it in?

      A whole port is being constructed now. And in the mean time, refugees outside Gaza, already making sure aid is ready. All these choices…

      Everything is about what others should do, but for this there is a defeatist attitude. Oh, and destroying paintings.
