As foreign secretary, Lord Balfour backed the formation of an Israeli state in the Balfour Declaration of 1917:
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours,
Arthur James Balfour

It doesn’t matter to these utterly vile, useful idiot, European dhimmis and American Dhimmi-crats, that Jews were living in the middle east for millennia before the founding of the wretched, supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent, hate-filled and pathology-laden ideology of “Submission,” millennia before such a thing as a “Muslim” ever existed.
What we’re witnessing are attempts at not only the physical genocide of Jews, but also the historical and theological erasure of Jews and Judaism from the history books, to pave the way for Islamic supremacy.
Liberal playbook: If the left has an issue no one gets it. If they want it in the end not only will you accept it but you will love it of the beating will continue.
These people are NOT liberal. Their playbook is Mein Kampf.
Vandalizing art is illegal and should be prosecuted to the fullest. But to say that this is the same thing that Hitler advocated in Mein Kampf is utterly insane. Do you really think that vandalizing art is the same thing as exterminating 6 million Jews in death camps?
If you want to pretend it was literal, by all means.
If you want to pretend these people are budding Brown Shirts, by all means.
Get a grip, please. These Jew haters would wear brown if it becomes more acceptable.
Are NOT budding Brown Shirts. In case you get too literal again.
It’s the same as breaking their windows.
Be patient, the journey is a large part of the destination.
JR, the “Palestinian” cause is literally the same cause that Hitler advocated in Mein Kampf, and later began to implement. They were his allies in the War, and since his fall have been dedicated to finishing the job he started, no matter how long it takes.
The art vandals are attaching themselves to that cause, and therefore share its goal whether they know it or not.
That’s not what he said, dingus.
Try to keep up.
Didn’t Hitler start out as a paper hanger or painter? They have to start somewhere,
The Beer Hall Putsch equivalents are coming…
And, the belligerent, hate-filled tenets of the koran.
This is to be expected of a group who blindly follows directives of a barbarian.
Satanic Verses?
That was 1917 and even Prince Faisal was onboard for this. Pretty soon King David will be chastised for killing Goliath. At least Cain will be getting support.
We need to send all these whiny little b**chs to live in Gaza with their heroes. Have ankle monitors so they can’t escape into Israel and after a year, if they survive that long, ask if they still prefer living under Islamic rule. Obviously, if they answer yes, leave them there permanently.
It apparently wasn’t important enough to put under glass, England invited these vandals in with open arms, and have gone so woke as to entirely exhaust my sympathy for them.
When are we going to see these a******s given the beat down they deserve?
When are harsh, personal consequences going to be applied to these miscreants and barbarians?
Only when that happens can we have our civilization back.
“hen are we going to see these a******s given the beat down they deserve?”
What’s stopping you from leading by example?
More fun to hide in the crowd and bawl, “Crucify! Crucify him!” right.
I suspect he’d “lead by example” when the chance comes.
What are YOU doing to stop crap like this?
Neo-Nazism illustrated.
We really need to start beating these miscreants, with gusto.
We need to see these people arrested and executed. No more sugar coating the support of terrorism.
Jail time for this person would not be sufficient.
There should be physical damage to this person of a greater comparable severity than was inflicted upon the painting.
A poetic judge would tattoo Balfour on this guy’s forehead.
Modernist poet Ezra Pound (1885 – 1972) is safe, he went Lord Haw Haw, Tokyo Rose, Goebbels during WWII.
Ezra Pound Speaking – Radio Speeches of World War II.
It’s too bad there wasn’t someone there to shoot her on sight.
By now, I’m more than used to “officials” avoiding mention of a dirtbag’s race, but not even having any indication of a dirtbag’s sex is unconscionable.
Until they are severely punished and not left off by a Leftist judge it will continue.
The destruction of art in public spaces started with BLM destroying statues.
Now its climate extremists and islamofascists destroying paintings in museums.
Whats the point in having laws if they aren’t enforced?
To enforce them selectively, Komrade. Show me the man.
“Whats the point in having laws if they aren’t enforced?”
Part and parcel of the left’s drive to destroy our history, then our country.
Euro-Stupidity: It exterminated 6 million productive and law-abiding Jews and promptly imported 20 million feral Muslim antisemites. Go figure.
I guess the hamas lovers didn’t stop to think that Lord Pound in 1917 advocated for the creation of the British Protectorate of Palestine. It was after WWII that the State of Israel was formed against the policy of the British government. The USA gave tacit and covert support. The reason I bring this up is because it proves that these moronic imbeciles don’t have a clue about history and never will. The perpetrators are only interested in publicity for their supposed cause. Ow if you want to stop it…..well neither Britain, the US or the majority of the western world don’t have the cojones to crack down on them. FJB
1. Lord Pound?! Who dat?
2. The British government at the time may have intended a protectorate, but the League of Nations and the San Remo conference explicitly expected a state.
3. In any case, protectorate or state, it was explicitly intended to be for the Jews, not the Arabs. The declaration recognizes the Arabs as having only civil and religious rights, but not political rights.
How awful. Is there any chance it was a giclee?
This Palestinian Action member certainly looks to be in the frame for this act of vandalism.
Have her pay for the best portrait painter to reproduce the painting. Until it is finished, she remains in prison. If she can’t pay up front…she can work it off as a janitor at the prison.
