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.

    Pro-Palestinian idiots or Bad Actor/False Flag idiots?

      People are scoffing at this, but in the UK you’ve got full blown fascist riots over the purely fictitious claim that a knife attack was perpetrated by a Muslim immigrant. The British far-right are burning mosques and storefronts in response to a social media slander.

      It’s easier to blame a ghost than accept the shitheels on your side

        Having some shitheels doesn’t invalidate that Israel is doing a genocide.

          Israel. Israel. That’s the point, what the fuck does Anne Frank have to do with Israel?

      Impossible to tell. The former is the Occam’s and Hanlon’s razor answer, though.

        Both are equally stupid. Both requires the same minimum effort to commit.

          There’s also the issue that if you immediately suspect false flags when your people do bad stuff, but not when the other side does, that’s not very intellectually honest. Do that and you will rightfully look full of shit.

          It doesn’t represent what we’re about, stick with that.

            It also doesn’t matter which “side” did it. It’s a low effort type of attack. One person with a can of spray paint can do. It should not and can not be allowed to represent either group until the perpetrator is caught and investigated.

      It honestly could be either.

      And both options are depressing.

        No shortage of home grown antisemitism in France.
