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.

    It’s not at all the same thing, you’re being bombastic about stupid shit.

    Defacing a genocide victims statue to bring light to an active genocide committed by members of her religion, famously mass victims of genocide now commiting genocide.

    You’re part of the problem, stop with the “protest the right way” bullshit.

      So you think it’d be logical and a good move for trans civil rights activists to deface an mlk statue? Since apparently defacing victim monuments is your idea of a productive protest, why isn’t it happening?

        Do you know remember last year or two when there was a rash of statue defacement that sparked meaningful conversation, you seen to just be I’ll informed based on your two weird comments.

          You mean confederate statues? Or was an mlk statue defaced to fight police brutality and it slipped through my finders?

              maybe you should provide relevant quotes to your links.

              Bigots deface MLK statues.

              Nazis deface Jewish things.

                Genocide protestors paint genocide iconography.

                You hear genocide you think Holocaust and and Frank.

                Name a single better genocide symbol that would be a better target of vandalism to make a point.

                    I asked for one single better option and your choice was none.

                    You proved my point.

              And the people who did it were racist trying to be racist. Thanks for proving my point that at best it’s bad optics and damaging to their cause.

              An edit just to laugh at the thought that you were thinking you had me only to post links to mlk statues being beheaded during black history month. You really think the people who did that were supporting blm?

                Yes. Yes, they vandalized a statue of a relevant figure. Racism = MLK, police = George Floyd, colonialism = Columbus.

                It’s not always the things they’re against that get vandalized, its what’s relevant and will be noticed.

                And that’s how I can tell you took it at face value and didn’t actually read anymore on the subject.

                Famous civil rights locations were vandalized and some burned down during civil rights protests… again, they do what gets attention which generally is what is annoying or controversial because literally no one cares if you chant outside Costco for 5 days.

                  Dog I asked for a source that someone advocating for civil rights defaced an mlk statue and you provided me with sources of people against civil rights defacing mlk statues. Stop pretending like i missed the point and touch grass.

                    Technically no, you said trans rights MLK was about racism, they’re both civil rights but they’re not comparable given that MLK is neither LGBTQ or oppressed because of LGBTQ.

                    Your example makes no sense but I will point out those people were protesting civil rights just their horrific concept of what that means.

                    Ie. Protesting for fewer civil rights is a civil rights protest just an incredibly stupid one.

                Nazis boots 8 are presumably just as fashion forward as their Nazi creators.
