Anne Frank Sign Vandalized in Gouda

No chance! Anne Frank once again target of extremists: “This is pure anti-Semitism, nothing less!”

August 24, 2024

The pro-Palestinian extremists really pull out all the stops to show their reprehensible anti-Semitism. Vandals thought it was a good idea to smear an information board about Anne Frank in the Anne Frank public garden in Gouda with the colors of the Palestinian flag. The municipality of Gouda reacted immediately and let it be known that this kind of act is absolutely unacceptable.

A concerned resident of Gouda has filed reports with the municipality and the police. This person, who wishes to remain anonymous, called the act “low and disappointing” in a conversation with ZoGouda.nl (news), and said that the act surely does nothing good for the community. “The defacing of an information board to commemorate Anne Frank is not only disrespectful but also shows a lack of fundamental decency.”

The political reaction to this incident leaves nothing to the imagination. Maikel Boon (PVV) member of the Tweede Kamer, has expressed his outrage via social media. “It is scandalous that even the Anne Frank Public Garden isn’t safe from this cowardly act of Jew-hatred, masked as so-called solidarity. This is pure anti-Semitism, nothing less!” Boon also wonders how long the Public Prosecutor’s Office will look the other way when it comes to such flagrant anti-Semitic acts.

Memorials of Anne Frank, unfortunately, have been the target of such idiotic actions more and more often. What drives people to connect a girl who was murdered with the conflict in the Middle East because of her heritage? When will these figures, who undoubtedly are also often to be found at socially disruptive XR demonstrations, finally realize that their actions achieve precisely the opposite of what they intend?

  1. Anne Franks story turned out to be a fake because it was claimed to be written by her during the war. The supposed original diary was written with a ball point pen which was not yet in use until long after her death after the war.
    In the meantime the foolish masses are still queueing to pay a ridiculous sum to view the whole fake story while the trustees are raking in millions annually on the Dam Square in Amsterdam.
