Is anyone really angry at the Balfour painting? I refuse to believe this. Any outrage has to be manufactured. No one has even ever mentioned his name (outside of the context of his genocides) for over 100 years.

That portrait is NOT an important work of global cultural heritage. It's just fucking Balfour's portrait. https://t.co/I8hmo3ENQ5
