With climate fantasists defacing artworks and pro-Hamas thugs menacing people at museums, before too long such cultural installations will be a thing of the past.
“Police arrest 22 for anti-Israel demo backed by pro-Hamas group at Brooklyn Museum,” Times of Israel, June 1 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Pro-Palestinian protesters had taken over parts of the museum on Friday, hanging a banner above the main entrance, occupying much of the lobby and scuffling with police, witnesses said.
New York City police officers tackled and punched some protesters during scuffles that broke out in the crowd outside the museum while some demonstrators hurled plastic bottles at officers and shouted insults. Other protesters held banners, waved Palestinian flags and chanted boisterously on the steps of the grand, Beaux Arts museum, which is the city’s second largest.
The art museum in the New York City borough of Brooklyn said it closed an hour early due to the disruption.
One of the arrests was of a man who spray-painted an outdoor sculpture, Reuters witnessed. Skirmishes between police and protesters also took place inside the building.
“There was damage to existing and newly installed artwork on our plaza,” a museum spokesperson said in an email. “Protesters entered the building, and our public safety staff were physically and verbally harassed….
Security guards prevented many from entering, with videos posted on social media showing them trying to secure the museum’s doors against the surging crowd, but some demonstrators managed to get inside.
A banner was hung from atop the neoclassical facade proclaiming, “Free Palestine, Divest From Genocide,” while the protesters also set up tents in the lobby.
A pro-Palestinian organization named Within Our Lifetime urged demonstrators to “flood Brooklyn Museum for Gaza,” alluding to the name that Hamas gave to its October 7 terror onslaught that started the war in Gaza. Within Our Lifetime, which praised the Hamas-led attack in the immediate aftermath of the atrocities, says activists occupied the museum to compel it to disclose any Israel-related investments and to divest any such funding….

They don’t face enough stiff opposition, arrests and trials.
Glenn Beck has some interesting info on just which people/orgs are funding and training these *protesters*….in a “color revolution.”
And, some idiot woman tried to ruin a Monet, then glued her hand to the wall.
One with a brain has to wonder, *just how will this make any difference in the climate*?
Taking over a museum for those who burn babies alive, rape children, torture and rape young men and women…is not going to make moral people agree with the murdering scum. But, some people might be afraid to resist; and that’s the aim.

somehistory,
Just wondering why security / police did not remove the paintings, lock the room – and leave the idiot woman glued to the wall.
For at least a few days…
somehistory says
Good wondering, James. Just punishment and she probably would not have repeated the vandalism. It would have been a lesson for other idiots.

I love it you guys – love it when ppl think outside the box – which obviously the young woman who doesn’t care about life & limb – even her own – had’t done.

Here’s that grim story from France, Somehistory and James:
“Activist arrested for attacking Monet painting in Paris”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/activist-arrested-attacking-monet-painting-142624087.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADYKE8svsz-fB1mR6XiMNSdD1PRfb6i5gLqRoRjUiCcHmFN76-WCouJKUqb9WkbudH7H1uE89XlDIb34evLUmJNlxEsrCawNPbcCp2ictsfRfoti6MeQmJatCZZoNV4jBH4uytRqqLGAdGILjoYFlatFYiyXDKV3xg064AM8tljh
Then there was the attack on the Mona Lisa in January. The thugs who threw soup at the artwork said they “had a right to healthy and sustainable food”. If they has *actually been hungry*, of course, they would not be wasting food trying to destroy priceless art.
These idiots just got community service.
Lots more attacks on great art cited in that article.

What do expect from the destroyers of palmyra and bamiyan buddhas?
Mike says
And Japanese Buddhas in Japan? There was an Islamist Saudi student who went to a Buddhist temple in Tokyo and destroyed a number of valuable historic Buddha statues in 2014 I think it was. I don’t know what became of that, however. Hopefully he got sent to prison and had to pay a huge fine before getting permanently deported.
OLD GUY says
This is just the beginning coming to YOUR neighborhood here in America. The illegal migration invasion of MUSLIMS/ISLAMIC followers allowed in by Biden will disrupt and cost the lives of American citizens.

Pro-Hamas protesters take over part of Brooklyn Museum, vandalize artwork, scuffle with police

What could be more Islamic than damaging artwork, menacing Infidels, and taking over their property? While lauding Jihadists and threatening Jews, no less…
