Give the kid a break. I wouldn't do what he did at my age but at his I wouldn't have given it a second thought. That's how we learn and grow. It isn't always pretty or easy or fun...but Jesus, don't expect children to be world seasoned diplomats when they're just trying to have honest fun...or impress the girls.
i agree (and I'm a Jew) - he's but a kid trying to get attention. he will learn from this because he's going to suffer consequences. i say, send him on a trip to the concentration camps and expose him to the reality that that swastika left in its wake. if he has a heart and a conscience, he will see the light and make a true heartfelt apology.

No.He knows.
