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.

    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.

      was an mlk statue defaced to fight police brutality

      I asked a very specific question and you failed to answer it. No technically about it.

        That you did. Specifically:

        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?

        I linked several sources that civil rights protestors defaced MLK statues. They may have shitty reprehensible concepts of civil rights but they are protesting ostensibly for civil rights.

        I answered your question, it’s not my fault you were exceedingly vague.

          they are protesting ostensibly for civil rights

          They are protesting against civil rights. You did not answer my question. Pro genocide people didn’t deface this statue. You have missed the point so completely it’s actually impressive.

            For our against the protest is about civil rights, yes. You should be less vague.

            Correct, anti genocide protestors did it because she’s a Jew which is relevant and she’s a genocide victim which is more relevant, the fact she’s a Jewish genocide victim during a Jewish enacted pogram is sorry super goddamn relevant.

            Zionists are the ones pushing that it’s anti semitic because it works, the reason it works? It’s people like you who say protest the “right way.”

              was an mlk statue defaced to fight police brutality

              The answer is no. It was a concise question and you failed.

                There’s a case of it in the sources but ok and similarly that’s you later being less vague, I answered your first question and your more specific question and you’re still complaining.

                You could just explain how it relates to this statue right now, one would imagine you’re attempting to say that since it’s “never been done before” it shouldn’t be done now. Going based on that I imagine you aren’t aware the statue is routinely vandalized and this is the sole time it hasn’t been for anti semitic/Holocaust denial, that means something.
