Pro-Palestinian activists have struck President Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland with a bold act of vandalism. The attack targeted the luxury property overnight painting slogans like Gaza Is Not For Sale across the lawn in response to Trump’s controversial proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza. This escalation reflects growing tensions over his plan to reshape the war-torn region into a U.S.-controlled resort area.
The vandals splattered red paint across the clubhouse exterior leaving a stark visual mark on the pristine 800-acre estate. They also dug up parts of the golf course including a prestigious green once used in Open Championships. Palestine Action a U.K.-based group claimed responsibility vowing to resist what they call Trump’s colonial ambitions.
Trump’s proposal unveiled last month calls for relocating over 2 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Arab nations. He envisions transforming the territory into a Riviera of the Middle East under American oversight. The idea has sparked outrage across the Arab world with leaders rejecting it as a violation of Palestinian rights.
Police Scotland launched an investigation after receiving reports of the damage around 4.40 a.m. on March 8. Authorities confirmed the vandalism included defaced buildings and torn-up turf with inquiries still ongoing. No arrests have been reported yet but the incident has heightened security concerns at Trump properties.
The Turnberry resort a jewel in Trump’s business empire has not hosted the British Open since his 2014 purchase. A spokesperson for the property condemned the vandalism as a childish criminal act. They insisted the skilled team would repair the damage swiftly to maintain its status as a top-tier golf destination.
Critics argue Trump’s Gaza plan ignores the region’s complex history and the will of its people. Palestinians have lived in Gaza for generations enduring decades of conflict and blockade. Forcing them out would likely violate international law experts say fueling further unrest.
Supporters of Trump defend his vision as a bold solution to a stagnant crisis. They claim U.S. investment could bring prosperity to a region plagued by poverty and violence. However Arab states have dismissed the plan outright favoring a $53 billion reconstruction effort that keeps Palestinians in place.
This vandalism marks a rare direct strike against Trump’s personal holdings over his foreign policy stance. It underscores the deep divide between his administration’s goals and global opposition to displacing Palestinians. As tensions rise the incident may signal more protests targeting Trump assets worldwide.
