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.

    In the 1950s and 60s, they were considered extremely credible.

    I don’t think so.

    No more than I am suggesting J. Edgar Hoover was Jewish.

    or the Mossad infiltrated black groups in the US, I suppose. 😏

      I don’t think so.

      Shrug George Wallace was a governor for multiple terms. Strom Thurmond was a senator for decades. Nixon won the South on racism.

      Black radical groups tended to align with Islam, particularly later into the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

        George Wallace lost to Nixon in 1968.

        What did Nixon say about MLK?

        I know little about Thurmond, but what did the bigot from the small state of South Carolina say about MLK in the 1950s and 1960s?

        I’m sure at times the Mossad infiltrated Islamic groups.
