Pro-Palestine protesters slash historic painting at University of Cambridge​

Pro-Palestine protesters slashed a historic painting at the University of Cambridge on Friday, 8 March. Footage shows Palestine Action spray-painting a 1914 piece depicting Lord Arthur Balfour, who was responsible for the Balfour Declaration of 1917 which stated that the British government supported "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people".

Glazing is expensive and generally is disliked because of the glare and reflection from lighting as well as potentially trapping moisture. If it was glazed they would just tear it off the wall or if glass smash it. I am sure that particular piece wasn't even on their radar as something to be concerned about. Depending on the value, insurance will pay to restore it.

Because academia makes the mistake of believing the human race is above animals.

I doubt its even the real deal. Likely a fake painting. Anything of value is never going to be placed in harms way.

Regardless, real or fake, some ass-whoopins need to take place. Need to beat some respect back into stupid people.
