This traditional stuff is almost quaint now. Psychologically speaking I guess.
"A #swastika was painted on #TempleShalom in #Wheeling, #WestVirginia, last week. Wheeling is about 60 miles southwest of #Pittsburgh.
The #Nazi symbol was painted on the #Reform congregation’s wall on Thursday, Aug. 13 and was removed before #Shabbat services on Aug. 14.
The congregation’s #Rabbi #JoshuaLief told the Herald-Star that police are investigating the act, calling it a “#hatecrime.”

#Hindus #swastika #Hackenkruez #NewJersey
"Hindu students ask schools to discern the swastika from the Nazi Hakenkreuz
‘I think it’s very important that young people are told that the swastika has a very positive meaning, but it has been taken and used as a racist symbol,’ said Baijayanti Roy of Goethe University Frankfurt. ‘The swastika does not have any negative connotations, whereas the Hakenkreuz stands for evil.
Mira Trivedi, 15, grew up surrounded by the swastika. Her family hung it around their home for holidays. A priest drew it on her newborn cousin’s forehead. Her family members wore jewelry with the symbol.
To Trivedi, who is Hindu, the swastika always signaled its auspicious Sanskrit meaning: well-being, good fortune and peace.
So when her eighth grade social studies teacher said the swastika was a hate symbol representing Hitler’s genocidal antisemitism, Trivedi went up after class to explain that the Nazi symbol was not the swastika but the Hakenkreuz, a German word meaning 'hooked cross.' The swastika, which is usually slightly different in appearance, is a devotional symbol in South Asian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, she said.
Trivedi hoped for a lightbulb moment after her spiel, but the teacher said only higher ups could implement changes about what’s taught about the symbol. 'That’s what started my whole journey,' Trivedi said.
She presented her case to the vice principal, principal and board of education at her central New Jersey school in May 2025. 'I was sweating through the entire meeting, I was so nervous,' she said. But the effort paid off, and she convinced the school board to educate 35 teachers about the difference between the symbols."

That'll show 'em!
"A statue of #Maimonides in the #Spanish city of #Córdoba was vandalized with a #swastika spray-painted on its base, Spanish media reported. Authorities have not yet announced whether any suspects have been identified in connection with the vandalism.
According to the reports, the #Nazi symbol was painted on the base of the bronze statue in #PlazadeTiberíades, in Córdoba’s historic #Jewish quarter.
The square is considered one of the city’s main attractions and is a regular stop on tourist routes."

"In this moment of rising #antisemitism, I’ve noticed that the way I remember, and retell, my own childhood has changed too.
When people hear I’m from #Omaha, they usually say, “I didn’t know there were #Jews there.” I tell them there were, just not many, and that it was a lovely place to grow up #Jewish. When people ask about antisemitism, I usually say I grew up with almost none. That was true. Mostly but not entirely.
A few years ago, before #October7, I was on a podcast when that tension caught up with me. Right after saying I’d experienced very little antisemitism, I mentioned, almost as an aside, that in second grade, someone came to our home in the middle of the night and painted a #swastika on our front door.
“That sounds like a lot of antisemitism,” the interviewer said. She was right.
Why had I always left that detail out? It happened, it was part of my childhood story. But we washed it out..."

Iedere keer wanneer een Tesla mij voorbij racet blijf ik op de achterkant een #swastika zien.
Je schaamt je toch dood in een Tesla.
Ben ik nou de enige ?

Just came to know the origin of swastika.
ancient Indian astronomy's integration of observable sky motion, where the pole star serves as a fixed center for tracking time through constellation shifts.the way saptarishi (सप्तर्षि) mandala (big dipper) circles the north star through four seasons and weaves an eternal swastika of time, light, and dharma across the cosmos

Onderaan de artikeltekst in https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/05/11/eu-sanctioneert-gewelddadige-kolonisten-op-westelijke-jordaanoever-verdeelde-lidstaten-raken-het-toch-eens-over-maatregel-tegen-israel-a4927564 staat:
❝
De Israëlische minister Gideon Saar heeft gereageerd op het EU-besluit, hij noemt het „onacceptabel“.
❞Dat het verdrijven of vermoorden van Palestijnen uit Palestina officieel Israëlisch regeringsbeleid is (gesteund door een meerderheid van de Joodse Israëliërs en met hulp van het Israëlische leger), wisten we al, maar is hiermee nogmaals bevestigd.
Direct daaronder staat een verwijzing naar een eerder artikel in NRC:
❝
–> Lees ook
Israël escaleert, Europa debatteert. De EU blijft verdeeld over concrete stappen
❞Ruim 80 jaar later collaboreert Nederland opnieuw door zich achter de EU te blijven verschuilen en niet zelf sancties op te leggen, al dan niet binnen een coalitie van Europese landen die het internationaal recht en mensentechten WÉL onderschrijven.
En als er in Nederland een swastika op een muur geschilderd wordt, schreeuwen Zionistische Nederlanders "HOLOCAUST!" en "POGROMS!" van de daken. Waarom horen wij hen niet over Davidsterren op vernielde Palestijnse bezettingen?
Waar staat die Davidster eigenlijk voor?

#TikTok Shop Showed Me Search Suggestions for Products With #Nazi #Symbolism
Even after TikTok removed #swastika #jewelry from its online shop, I was #algorithmically nudged toward a web of Nazi-related products during searches, like “double lightning bolt” and “ss” necklaces.

Deborah Lipstadt,…who served as President #Biden’s special envoy to monitor & combat #antisemitism, said the #CoastGuard’s decision to approve the change was “terrifying.”
“What’s really disturbing is, at this moment, when there is a whitewashing of #Nazis amongst some on the #FarRight, & Churchill is painted as the devil incarnate when it comes to WWII, to take the #swastika & call it ‘potentially divisive’ is hard to fathom….It is not ‘potentially divisive,’ it’s a #HateSymbol.”

"We should not be surprised that a U.S. government entity was attempting to make nooses and swastikas more acceptable. Each expression of racism has its own history in America, but in 2025 they come together to advance the goal of creating an American ethno-state supported by ideologies of White supremacy and Christian nationalism—"
