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.

Do you have a source for that? Because antisemitism seems to be a core tenant of nazism according to everything I can find.

Also nazis, due to this antisemitism, seem to view Muslims as natural allies, see how neonazis celebrated 9-11 around the world (except in the USA) or this quote:

"...we could have emancipated the Moslem countries dominated by France...All Islam vibrated at the news of our victories...created a feeling of malaise among our Islamic friends..." Adolf Hitler. Last will and Testament.

When they were still figuring out what people would publicly accept, the Nazis mostly favored deportation/displacement genocide rather than outright extermination.

They were, of course, extremely aware that Madagascar could not support the entire Jewish population, but that was most of the point. Anti-semite support of Israel is not about liking Jewish people, it's about gathering the diaspora into one place so it's easier to kill them. Toss in a little Revelations-prophecy for Christian fundie flavor depending on the brand of Nazi.

...but the task force sent to evaluate the island's potential determined that only 5,000 to 7,000 families could be accommodated, or even as few as 500 families by some estimates.

...calling for the resettlement of a million Jews per year for four years, with the island being governed as a police state under the SS. They assumed that many Jews would succumb to its harsh conditions

That sounds more like 'outright extermination' than 'displacement' to me but ok.

I see you're not the oc but as someone defending their point I'll ask again, do you have any sources on these 'plenty of pro-Israel Nazis'?
