BREAKING: Palestine Action steal sculptures of Israel's first president, Chaim Weizmann, from the University of Manchester.

Weizmann secured the Balfour Declaration, a British pledge written 107 years ago today, which began the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by signing the land away.

Weizmann described the indigenous Palestinian population as "the rocks of Judea, obstacles that had to be cleared on a difficult path".

From the Balfour Declaration to today, Britain remains an active participant in the colonisation, genocide and occupation of Palestine.

“Colonialism almost never exploits the entire country. It is content with extracting natural resources and exporting them to the metropolitan industries thereby enabling a specific sector to grow relatively wealthy, while the rest of the colony continues, or rather sinks, into underdevelopment and poverty.”
