Activists remove sculptures of Israel’s first president Chaim Weizmann
Palestine Action targets display cases at Manchester University

PALESTINE activists have removed two sculptures of Israel’s first president Chaim Weizmann from a display case at Manchester University.
They also sprayed at Cambridge University and targeted two leading zionist organisations in London: Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (Bicom) and the Jewish National Fund (JNF).
Saturday’s action marked the anniversary of 1917’s British government statement, the Balfour Declaration, that Palestine would be made a Jewish homeland.
