"And it's too bad the Nazis adopted the swastika, because it is a cool looking symbol. Damn Nazis ruining everything."

I am so in agreement with you there. The symbol used to be quite popular in America and around the world. The US Army Air Corps used the swastika on American planes detached with the French in WW1.

There was a lawsuit in the 1990's where a Jewish fellow was offended because the Hopi Nation built a bridge on tribal lands and covered it in swastikas as that is a symbol of blessing to the Hopi. It had nothing to do with Naziism. The Federal Court ruled properly that the Hopi can do whatever they see fit on their tribal lands without interference from intolerant individuals.

The Jewish people need to get past their victim-hood and move on. The Holocaust happened. The Nazis are dead. And just because you see a swastika does not mean a Nazi (or even just a plain old idiot) is behind it.

Are you for real?
I guess you won't get upset then if I go to where your grandparents are buried and cover the graves with satanic paraphenelia? Maybe a nice pentagram or an upside down cross.
Doesn't necessarily mean it's put there with bad intentions.
Do you still think it's ok?

I think you need to get over your innocent swastika routine.

Who are you to tell people when its time to stop grieving the murder of their relatives? Many are still alive who watched their parents and siblings killed.

Most Jews have moved on--they have their lives, their homes, their businesses, even their own country, Israel, which is constantly under attack. It is the jew haters who haven't moved on and its starting all over again, with vandalism, attacks,etc. Just leave them alone. They aren't hurting you.
