Historic Portrait of Lord Balfour Slashed by Pro-Palestine Protestors
news.artnet.com
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.”

Anyone who loses sympathy for Palestinians after this probably didn't have much to begin with.
If your goal is to stop the genocide then the concern from the people without much matters a lot.
When did appeals to sympathy ever convince a fascist they were wrong?
When it was what you named an artillery shell.
The thing is, this takes away from the actual human disaster in Gaza. This lunatic made the discussion about the art, the vandalisation, her and her mental illness. And she is loathed because of this.
And then that loathing is transferred with her onto the cause.
Oh don’t worry though all the edgy teens are for it and this will bring their vast resources to bear on the problem.
