These “activists” are quite clearly not the sharpest knives in the drawer, and just as clearly are savage, bloodthirsty thugs drunk with the delusion of their own righteousness.
“Palestine Action vandals stole the wrong statue in university raid – grabbing head of CBE-winning professor who played in FA Cup final rather than bust of Israel’s first president,” by Emily Jane Davies and Fran Wolfisz, Daily Mail, November 6, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Pro-Palestinian activists who claimed to have ‘beheaded’ a bust of Israel’s first president also mistakenly stole a statue of a CBE-winning professor.
Campaigners from Palestine Action were filmed on Saturday violently smashing their way through a glass cabinet with hammers before grabbing a pair of statues.
They said that both portrayed Chaim Weizmann, but it has been revealed that one was actually a professor who pushed for women’s education.
The group later posted an image of one of the statues without a head and declared the ‘first bust of Weizmann is dead’.
The University of Manchester said they believe the decapitated figure was Weizmann, but the other is of Harold Dixon, a former professor of chemistry.
Prof Dixon specialised in the cause of mine explosions, and used this knowledge in the First World War as the Deputy Inspector of High Explosives for Manchester.
He was also an amateur footballer who played for Oxford University in the 1873 FA Cup Final and an early supporter of women’s education in physics.
Prof Dixon spent much of his life living in Fallowfield, more than 3,000 miles away from Israel. It’s not yet known which sculpture Palestine Action has ‘beheaded’.
The group shared a post on X on Tuesday (November 5), showing one of the sculptures without its head, alongside the comment: ‘First bust of Weizmann is dead. Soon, his zionist project will be too!’
In a previous post on Wednesday, both busts were shown wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian scarf. The group wrote: ‘Weizmann is now under Palestine Action’s control.’
The group shared video footage over the weekend of the moment the two busts were taken from the university. GMP has been investigating the incident this week and no arrests have been made so far.
Politician and life peer John Woodcock, known as Lord Walney, said the chilling action by the activists ‘may be interpreted as incitement’.
He said: ‘The latest provocation from Palestine Action – ‘beheading’ the statue of President Weizmann while the memory of terrorist atrocities on 7 October is fresh and hostages are still held. It may be interpreted as incitement.
‘It is certainly designed to terrorise British Jews.’…

If the late professor was still alive, they would have no problem beheading him. and they probably don’t care that he wasn’t a president of Israel. He was admired by infidels, and wanted women to be educated; which goes against islam.
As for beheading a statute, it’s meant to terrorize but the late president knows nothing of the foul deed.
did anyone else here see some pro-terror people in the U.S. playing some kind of kick ball with a replica of Mr. Trump’s head before the election? Glenn Beck had the video on his program.
Ghouls, all of those who choose to do such things.

Now with Donald Trump’s win… let’s sit back and watch these Islamic protesters and demonstrators taking to the streets screaming like brainless banshees “Death to America”…. let’s see if they have the balls to demonstrate while Trump is President. I wouldn’t be the least surprised to see mass deportation.
America has to get rid of trash.
Can’t wait for Pierre Pollievre to win and throw Screwdeau out. Canada too needs to clean house and get rid of the garbage that the Liberals brought into our great country

These “activists” are quite clearly not the sharpest knives in the drawer, That is a massive understatement, they demonstrate over and over that they are not only dumb as a stump but ignorant also
James Lincoln says
Just think if those low IQ activists had unknowingly beheaded a statue of an islamic terrorist…
