Palestine activists dig up and paint over Trump's Scottish golf course

PALESTINE activists painted “Gaza is not for sale” on the lawn at  Donald Trump’s Scottish golf course at the weekend in response to the US president’s dismissive comments about the war-torn strip.

Palestine Action members dug up greens and spray-painted the lawn and clubhouse at the 800-acre south Ayrshire resort early on Saturday.

The activist group said that it was responding to the US administration’s plans and threats to ethnically cleanse and take over the Gaza Strip, where more than 48,000 Palestinians, 80 per cent of them civilians, have been killed by Israeli forces during the war. 

A spokesperson said: “Palestine Action rejects Donald Trump’s treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.

“To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance. We will continue to take action against US-Israeli colonialism in the Palestinian homeland.”

Last week the US president issued an AI video advertising his plans for the strip that included himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, shirtless, drinking at the “Trump Gaza” resort.

Police Scotland confirmed it was investigating the incident at the golf course.
