Is putting grattiffi on a statue really helpful?

[US2gether]

Along with flags over everything, now it's graffiti on statues. Not any statue but that of a young Jewish girl, Anne Frank

This won't help.

This sends a dreadful message to Jewish people who are not involved in the conflict.

There have already been holocaust memorials vandalised so this isn't really surprising.

Ots not surprising, but it's awful. Just thugs. No person will be helped by doing this.

So disrespectful and just disgusting behaviour.

I'm so upset to see this

Very upsetting

It's absolute disgusting.

That doesn't make it right. This causes antisemitism to become normalised.

No not helpful and it is horrendous anti-semitic vandalism. I hope they can get it cleaned and restored as soon as possible. Incredibly disrespectful

That's horrible. I hope it can be restored quickly and the perpetrators located.

Pure antisemitism. Horrific.

Just horrendous.

It's lovely to see agreement on this.

It's unnecessary, won't help, and anti semitic.

Absolutely disgusting! Words fail me. I hope they arrest the morons who did this.

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”

Anne Frank, 15th July 1944. Written a couple of weeks before they were caught by the Gestapo.

I think on both sides, this is a prayer to hold on to.

Thanks for sharing that - definitely needed at this time, Ella! ♥

It absolutely is, thank you for sharing.
