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.”

    How are people forgetting about him?

    I assume he has a wikipedia page which is still intact.

          Nah, someone suggesting a Wikipedia page is still up is making the suggestion to look it up… it’s stupid.

        What’s the point of Wikipedia if not to preserve history? I can get more information from a wiki than a painting
