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.”

    For goodness sake destroying history nomatter how dark will lead to worse places. “Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it”.

    Maybe you’re right. We should put up status of Hitler in Israel so they can remember that genocide is bad.
