Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s luxury Turnberry golf resort in Scotland became the target of pro-Palestine activists, who vandalized the property in a dramatic overnight protest. The demonstrators spray-painted “GAZA IS NOT 4 SALE” in bold white letters across the golf course, damaged the greens, and doused the clubhouse in blood-red paint.
A Response to Trump’s Controversial Gaza Plan
The action, claimed by Palestine Action, was in direct response to Trump’s widely condemned remarks about turning Gaza into a luxury resort. Last month, he suggested the U.S. should “take over” the war-torn territory, rebuild it as the “Riviera of the Middle East,” and force Palestinians to relocate to Egypt or Jordan.
Further fueling outrage, Trump recently shared an AI-generated video depicting a futuristic, Trump-branded Gaza—featuring himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lounging by a pool.
“While Trump treats Gaza like his personal real estate, he should know that his own properties are not untouchable,” Palestine Action declared on social media.
Police Investigation Underway
Scottish authorities confirmed they were investigating after receiving a report of vandalism at 4:40 AM GMT on Saturday. Meanwhile, Trump Turnberry’s management dismissed the protest as “childish and criminal”, vowing that business would continue as usual.
Rising Tensions Over U.S. Support for Israel
The protest comes just days after the United States approved a $3 billion arms deal with Israel, supplying weapons, bulldozers, and military equipment used in Gaza. Critics argue that the deal fuels further devastation, while activists continue to escalate protests worldwide.
Trump’s Turnberry resort, one of his two Scottish properties, now finds itself caught in the crossfire of global outrage—as opposition to his stance on Gaza grows louder.
