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.

    Where in that graffiti do you see anti semitic anything.

    As far as I’m aware red hands means there is blood on their hands and free Gaza means… I suppose this isn’t complicated but “free Gaza”.

    You are adding anti semitism where there isn’t any.

      Nazis deface these kind of things, so if such are defaced, it’s reasonable to suspect Nazis or those doping so to be sympathetic to Nazis.

              How long did it take you to research that irrelevant fuckin point.

              I think it’s relevant.

              Who programmed your buggy ass?

              The same guy who programmed you. 😏

                That’s awesome, that doesn’t change that it isn’t.

                Objectively wrong, it’s just a dumb insult that doesn’t make logical sense so you’re not exactly vivifying anyone you’re not a bot.

                  you’re not a bot.

                  You imply that I am, then say I’m not.

                  Make up your mind.

                    No, your dipshit joke implied we have the same father.

      Again, I can see the possible intent behind this. And I agree that it was most likely not done with the intention of coming across as anti Semitic. But that is how others see it. Read the news articles about it. Look at the comments people have left.

      And blood on their hands? Them being what? Jewish people? Are you saying that all Jewish people bear responsibility for the crimes of the state of Israel?

        No we know it wasn’t because there’s nothing anti semitic on it, nothing. Your implying something that doesn’t exist. Yes, the news makes money by sparking culture was bullshit and making mountains of molehills. Find me something the news doesn’t make seem like the end of the goddamn world and I’ll be more surprised.

        Goddamn did you look at the picture? It’s describing the graffiti.

        Ed: and I quote

        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 looks like x or it looks like y”, you clearly haven’t even seen the graffiti but you’re off arguing about it.
