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’ll take however many times I have to tell you you’re being a bigot it seems.

    I’m saying they likely wouldn’t given you know the whole genocide thing being kind of a big issue for their family. You’re actively arguing against logic.

    Indeed. So you not see how her being a Jew could be related to a Jewish nation genociding people like a ostensibly Catholic nation genocided the Jews… It’s not irrelevant or anti semitic to say Israelis out of all nations should know what genocide looks like. Ok, what statue works better for you? Hitler, Himmler, are you suggesting they go vandalize the Holocaust museum. Seriously I’m interested, what person or place is more iconic in relation to Jews being genocided than the most famous genocided Jew?

    I am, I’m not however telling you to do anything. I’m hoping you see how bigoted it is to say she can be a icon of genocide but can’t be brought up because she’s Jewish. You’re the bigoted one, you just don’t see that your weird white knight attitude is keeping you from seeing the forest for the trees.

    Ed: to be clear I think you mean well you’re going so far away from trying to be bigoted you ended up bigoted.
