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 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.

She was murdered before 1948.

Super irrelevant Mr bot.

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.

I don't think the murder was random.

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.

8 billion people x 1.25% this year ÷ 366 days is over 273 000.

Over a quarter million people died today.
