Verdict; True.

This one had no protective plexiglass covering, nor was it a copy of the real thing. It was a real treasure.

The only way to stop this, is to give these folks real consequences for these actions against destruction of irreplaceable treasures.

While I support the political position of the protestor, the way they protested? That is unacceptable.

Give this one the death penalty to keep the world's great works of art and treasure out of this.

.. . . send a message that the world will not tolerate the destruction of cultural treasures.

Then? Israel itself will think twice about destroying the world's cultural history.
