A pro-Palestine protester decided to vandalize an old painting of Lord Arthur Balfour. He was a British politician who wrote the Balfour Declaration. This was a 1917 letter which promised the Jewish Rothschild family land in Palestine for Jews.

Here’s the original letter.

Obviously, I disagree with what Balfour and the British did in gifting this land to the Jews. The British paid a severe price later with the King David Hotel bombing etc..

With that said, vandalizing a historical piece of art serves no practical purpose and is greatly counterproductive. Especially when you do it carrying a luxury bag that costs well over $1,000.
