The statue commemorating Anne Frank, one of the most famous victims of the Holocaust, was defaced with pro-Palestinian graffiti for the second time on Sunday.

The statue is located in Merwedeplein, near the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

According to images published on X, the base of the statue was spray-painted with the slogan “Free Gaza” while the girl’s hands were painted with the same red color, AFP reported.

    Correct that’s protest, the fact that you find it repugnant is irrelevant. You’re talking about it, you wouldn’t be if they painted pro Palestine stuff anywhere else.

    Anne and her father are both dead and their family aren’t pro Israel, just as an fyi because their cages literally couldn’t get rattled. I meant people like you, people more wrapped up in the statue and it’s visage than the reason it was defaced in the first place. Yes, everyone protests, that’s not the dig you think it is.

    This is a broken window, it hurts literally no one and says a lot. Are you arguing for other means that often turn more violent than anonymous defacement? Why? You’re valuing a chunk of material depicting a famous over millions of Innocent Palestinians, why is that?

      What’s your opinion of Qur’an burnings and depictions of the pedophile prophet?

        Legit speech, go for it.

        Though I will point out three fact that the only one who’s being objectively racist and bigoted here is you just now with that statement.

        You like Jews and don’t like Muslims, good for you but maybe keep your hate speech to yourself.

          There are many Christians and Muslims, and the few Jews I’ve meet, that I like; but all 3 of their religions are dumb.

          Calling a man who had sex with a 9 year-old a pedophile isn’t hate speech.

            Sure, I don’t disagree religion is dumb.

            It is, the bible and Torah also have incest and pedophilia, pointing out one but not the others implies one is worse than the others.

            I didn’t say it was hate speech btw, I said you were being racist and bigoted which you objectively are.

              It is, the bible and Torah also have incest and pedophilia, pointing out one but not the others implies one is worse than the others.

              I often mock Christianity based on Bible verses. In Leviticus, lesbians aren’t condemned, the New Testament says women should generally shut up, and King Solomon was a tit-man.

              I didn’t say it was hate speech btw, I said you were being racist and bigoted which you objectively are.

              You are so accurate.

              Please, tell me what else do you objectively know about me.

                Maybe so, you didn’t this time you only chose Muslims. Now remind me, what is Palestine largely made up of? Oh yeah Muslims, I wonder if that’s relevant and why I called you a bigot.

                You just admitted to hating religion, that’s objectively by your own admission bigoted. You ain’t too smart are ya, you running on a Gameboy with half dead batteries or something?

                    By definition yes.

                    a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

                    You know, like a religion or something.

      Did you miss the part where i said that I understood the intent but am calling out how this makes our movement look like fucking neo nazis? Do you want to re read what I’ve said please before throwing more baseless accusations at me?

      No I wouldn’t give a shit if they painted pro Palestine messages on any non-holocaust related memorials. Because that wouldn’t make us look like neo nazis. This does. People are going to talk about this on the news today and millions of people will shake their head and lend more credence to claims that we are antisemites. And Jewish anti zionists now know that due to their religion some anti zionists are entirely willing to throw them under a bus in the name of “rattling cages”.

        It doesn’t make anyone look like neo Nazis aside from the people who cannot see duality.

        Yes she’s a Jew, neat.

        She’s also the most famous victim of genocide ever.

        There’s a current genocide that is being committed by isrealis a famously majority Jewish nation.

        The fact that you can’t see her as anything but a Jew is more telling of you than anyone else.

          Re read the first paragraph of the comment you’re responding to. I’m not interested in continuing this conversation if you are entirely incapable of considering how this will be viewed and how this impacts people without our own movement.

            The way it will be viewed is the point!

            There trying to force people to see that people can be two things, a Jew and a victim of genocide and that dichotomy is important considering the current genocide is being committed by Jews against Palestinians largely because of religious and possesive reasons.

            I’m not interested in talking with anyone who refuses to go full stop, I don’t enjoy apologists.

              You don’t think Nazis murdering teenage girls is relevant?

                Random dates without context or relation are always going to be irrelevant. Complete a full thought, have your owner replace those watch batteries.

                    It is, you never connected it to anything.

                    About 200 civilians died today, your point? Or are we hanging random facts with no context or a full thought.
