Things like this are really a shame. The swastika is a REVERSED buddhist symbol, which is completely ironic because one advocated killing and the other abhors it. I think most Jews know the difference between the actual swastika and the buddhist representation. Actually in early America the native peoples used the symbol to represent peace and sanctity. Anyone with a 4th grade education should realize the symbol wasn't an affront against Jews; rather, a confirmation that the symbol embraces much more than one man's corrupt regime for a few short, deadly years.
