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.”
Balfour doesn’t deserve a portrait
Sure, let’s forget about history and the people that made it. Forgetting about people like Balefour will erase history and assure it will never be repeated.
Wonder why most people don’t care about what’s going on in gaza.? The people that fight for its plight as such insufferable c…s that manage to alienate whole swaths of the public with their stunts.
And the person in the video must be mentally ill, so I hope they find her a bed in a closed institution.
How are people forgetting about him?
I assume he has a wikipedia page which is still intact.
Perhaps the destruction of a reminder has something to do with it.
Tells me the wiki still up: “Look it up on the internet bro, do your own research.”
What’s the point of Wikipedia if not to preserve history? I can get more information from a wiki than a painting
Actually, I wouldn’t have known about the history without this painting being destroyed. Balefour is now in the public consciousness, more so than he was a week ago.
