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.”

    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.
