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.

    You kids all talk the same. I can picture exactly what you look like. Don’t insist over and over that there’s no anti Semitism mixed into this protest, and then get mad and call people ignorant when they point at it for you. Fix that shit, expel those fucks from your protests, instead of bitching to me online. Do something about it. And if you’re not part of these protests and all you do for the cause is sit online and bitch, shut the fuck up. Cause you’re not part of any of this. My children under 12 have suffered anti Semitism recently for being proud to be half Jewish. And I’m out there with teachers and city councillors trying to make changes so these protest stay on point and don’t veer off into bullshit.

    What are you doing?

      Why are you treating pro Palestinian people as a monolith? Learn to think critically and realize no protest can somehow rid itself of all shitty people. You’re being unreasonable and weirdly condescending because you’re older and somehow think it’s cool to talk down to folks based on age.

      Have I insisted there’s no anti-Semitism among the pro-Palestinian movement? No? Then why are you claiming I’ve insisted there’s no anti-Semitism? If I see or hear an anti-Semite in the pro-Palestinian, I would call that person/those people out, as I have in the past. Is that so hard to understand?

      Also very weird that you’re all “I can picture what you look like”. You’re being way too presumptuous and that’s why you feel so confidently incorrect.

      You sound like those people who were more upset about the riots and looting than the fact that police were killing unarmed men.
