Thousands of anti-Israel activists flooded London’s streets on Saturday to mark the 107th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.
Organized by ‘Palestine Action,’ masked activists wielding mallets smashed through a glass display case at Manchester University to steal two historic busts of Israel’s first President Chaim Weizmann.
In a statement on social media, the pro-Hamas group justified the theft by claiming Weizmann had “lobbied Balfour into assisting the Zionist colonisation of Palestine.”
The violence spread to London’s affluent Hampstead district, where protesters doused the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre with red paint, claiming it was “funded by wealth made from manufacturing Israeli weapons” and aligned with their mission to “dismantle Zionism.”
