Pro-Palestinian Activists Steal Wrong Statue in University Raid
(Telegraph-UK) Tim Sigsworth - Palestine Action activists filmed themselves using hammers to smash a glass display case early Saturday at the University of Manchester. They stole two busts, claiming they depicted Chaim Weizmann, the first president of Israel. However, one of the sculptures was of Prof. Harold Dixon, a chemist at the university from 1886 until 1922. Social media videos released by Palestine Action showed the busts defaced with red graffiti reading "Smash Zionism" and adorned with keffiyehs. On Tuesday, the group published an image of one of the busts without a head, writing: "First bust of Weizmann is dead. Soon, his Zionist project will be too!"
