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.”
That’s how you get negative attention
If this attracts negative attention, Imagine the one commiting genocide could attract.
Billions in aid and weapons?
Sure, but also other repercussions like an old man asking you to maybe genocide a bit less, and we can’t have that.
All the while that old man will stress that we must support you fully, and that he’ll never stop supporting you.
But hey, he called you an asshole and said you need a come to Jesus moment. So that makes him cool right?
Corporate media decides whether the attention is negative or positive.
For myself, I don’t approve of vandalism but I fully understand their rage
I know right! At first it infuriates you, then you find out it was the guy who started this Palestine mess, and that it was a directly targeted attack.
Not blocking some road, gluing your hands to something, or throwing stuff at art behind glass and generally doing something that actually has any relation to your cause.
