Interesting. My second question after seeing this headline was whether the paintings in question are owned by the Getty Trust (no), which would at least make some symbolic sense.

And in spite of my support for both civil disobedience in general and climate change activism in particular, I have to admit, as a van Gogh fan, my first question was whether the paintings were damaged (also no).

My third question, as yet unanswered: why van Gogh paintings rather than a target directly related to the oil industry or climate change?

Well the Arabs invaded in the 7th century...
