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.”
Mooooommm… lemmygrad is leaking again.
Tankie is when you don’t care what happens to a bastard’s portrait, one very specifically related to the thing they’re protesting.
LoL, when the end justifies the means.
Look at them, out in force, giddy and supportive over a fucking mentally ill woman slashing a painting. The only thing these people need to do to kill a cause is support it.
Obsessive bootlickers never miss a chance to pretend their mediocre fluff piece made by an irrelevant artist is some cultural cornerstone, whether it’s a painting of a genocidal inbred or a statue of a slaving murderer.
Meanwhile, archaelogical sites of real historical importance are being destroyed all over Gaza, but you can’t see them crying for it.
So edgy.
And for the record, I don’t care about the painting, I care about principles of wanton destruction in order to “fight for your cause”. Someone that can do this with this kind of calm complexion, has a screw loose and will undoubtedly hurt herself or someone else.
Go celebrate your pyrrhic victory.
