On Friday, Palestine Action have struck overnight to wreck the ‘Trump Turnberry’ golf course, in response to the American administration’s plans and threats to destroy, ethnically cleanse, and ‘take over’ the Palestinian Gaza Strip.
After entering the 800-acre resort, activists painted in 3-metre-high letters, “GAZA IS NOT FOR SALE” across the lawn of the South Ayrshire course. Making the popular opposition to Trump’s intentions clear, activists spray painted the clubhouse and dug up the greens including the course’s most prestigious holes — used in numerous Open Championships.
“Last night’s action comes as a direct response to the US administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza. Having laid out his plans to “clean out the whole thing” and forcibly displace its population, the US President last week published an AI video advertising his plans for the Strip, which included himself and the génocidaire Netanyahu, shirtless, drinking at the ‘Trump Gaza’ resort,” the group said in a statement.
“The proposed ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the forcible transfer of the Palestinian population would constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. And while Trump threatens to kill all of Gaza’s 2m population – “To the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD” – his administration is, simultaneously, preparing its plans for Israeli annexation of the Palestinian West Bank.”
The action comes shortly after the Trump administration signed off on the shipment of 40,000 bombs to Israel, including thousands of the bunker-buster bombs of the type which have been used to “vaporise” dozens of Palestinians in single attacks.
