Historic Portrait of Lord Balfour Slashed by Pro-Palestine Protestors

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.”

Lol, "destroy history."

If we could actually wipe this guy from history and all that he's done, that would be great.

Unfortunately, none of us have time machines.

Ohh great idea lets wipe all awfull people from history lets just pretend hitler didnt exist what an incredible idea i dont see six million problems with doing that at all.

You might want to brush up on your reading comprehension.

My point about a time machine should have made it clear that I meant literally removing these people from existence, not pretending.

Ahh so ur solution to a very real problem is time travel.

How in the hell can a point based on time travel stand in a discussion about history?

🤦‍♂️

Stay in school.

To tell me how im wrong. What am i missing here? U actuully think time travel exists? You think hypotheicals about nonexistant technology are a usefull tool in an argument? This is the real world that requires real disscussion about real things go touch some grass and think about what u added to this disscussion by importing timetravel.
