My art history professor just said in a lecture “Protesting with art is really good because you don’t harm things, you don’t kill. You don’t have fights at universities and things like that.”
Then she paused and said “who do you think gives all the water to Gaza? don’t you think they should be grateful? The world is watching.”
And you know what I think I’m done with this lecture.
This is the professor who said that there wasn’t much history of religious conflict in England in the 1600-1700s, so who wants to guess what painting was displayed when she was talking about why Gaza should be more grateful because it’s going to make you want to set something on fire.
I already want to set something on fire but go on?
fuuccckkkk

The attack gained controversy because it involved the bombing of civilians by a military air force. Seen as a war crime by some historians, and argued as a legitimate attack by others,[2] it was one of the first aerial bombings to capture global attention. Under the international laws regarding aerial warfare in 1937, Guernica was a legitimate military target.[3] The number of victims is still disputed; the Basque government reported 1,654 people killed at the time, while local historians identified 126 victims[4] (later revised by the authors of the study to 153).[5] A British source used by the USAF Air War College claims 400 civilians died.[6][7] Soviet archives claim 800 deaths on 1 May 1937, but this number may not include victims who later died of their injuries in hospitals or whose bodies were discovered buried in the rubble.[8]
