Sunday marks 80 years since Anne Frank's family was arrested by the Nazis on August 4, 1944.

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.

    Israelis doing this

    Plenty of possible culprits beyond the actual literal Israeli government. Could very well have been a troll with no political affiliation at all.

    But the media coverage, the fixation on Palestinians as scary, violent, genocidal invaders, and the way this gets used to justify continued bombing in Gaza? That’s 100% right wing media.
