Swastika banner flies over New York beaches

[Asclepias]

Like most things white racists soil with their filthy ideas, the originally meaning of the swastika for 3K years stood for peace. Nothing wrong with displaying it unless you are using it to promote Nazism. Like most things context should be looked at before determining the intent.

It stood for genocide only 70 years ago. It stands for the Axis powers, still today. Some WWII Vets in the US may be offended, as am I.

It never stood for genocide except to those that were practising it. At what point do you let the filthy swines called Nazi's hijack an symbol used in almost every culture known to man as good luck and fertility?

Big deal.

The Swastika is displayed on the History Channel almost every second of the day.

It's called context.

the CONTEXT is they are flying over Long Island while Israel is in distress.

On Monday morning, the rhythmic thuds of shells fired from Israeli warships pierced the morning silence in Gaza. The streets were relatively quiet with few cars moving around. The buzz of drones filled the skies, a constant reminder of the Israeli aerial presence.

Israel has so far shrugged off international calls for a cease-fire, saying it will continue the offensive as long as the militant group Hamas keeps firing rockets into its territory.

And Hamas shows no sign of letting up after launching almost 1,000 rockets at Israel.

While commonly associated with Nazi Germany, the swastika symbol is more than 3,000 years old. The term "Swastika" was originally the name for a hooked cross in Sanskrit, and swastikas have been found on artifacts, such as coins and pottery, from the ancient city of Troy.

Not only are swastikas associated with ancient Troy, the symbols are found in many other cultures, such as Chinese, Japanese, Indian and southern European. By the Middle Ages, the swastika was a well-known symbol and had many different names, depending on the country. In some cultures, such as in ancient China, the symbol is turned counterclockwise (sauvastika).

Throughout its history, the swastika represented life, sun, power, strength and good luck. In the early 20th century, it was still considered a positive symbol. During World War I, it was found on shoulder patches of members of the American 45th Division and the Finnish air force. Only after the Nazi period did its connotation change.

German nationalists chose to use the swastika in the mid-19th century because it was associated with the Aryan race and Germanic history. At the end of the 19th century, German nationalists used the symbol on periodicals and for the official emblem of the German Gymnasts’ League. By the 20th century, it was a common symbol used in Germany to represent German nationalism and pride, for example, as the emblem for the Wandervogel, a German youth group. Swastikas also were used, however, in anti-Semitic periodicals.

The swastika officially became the emblem for the Nazi Party on August, 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress. Describing the new flag in Mein Kampf, Hitler said the swastika symbolized the victory of the Aryan man.

Today the symbol is most commonly associated with Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, neo-Nazis and other hate groups.

Long Island is not in Israel. Since Israel is the aggressor how are they in "distress"?

 

[shart_attack]

It's evil.

Most of us don't need a theology lesson about Jainism: we rightfully associate the symbol with its evil twin.

Take it down.

Yes, evil is part of history, and flying the Swasika is the US is an insult to every American that served in WWII. In particular, those that died, or were injured in that struggle against Fascists.

Not to mention the millions of innocent civilians who died in the concentration camps. New York officials need to have them removed from the beaches ASAP!

Bowie, I see you use the Stars & Stripes, thank you. I did not say the two were equivalent. I want the Stars & Bars relagated to history & Civil War reenactments.

 

[Pennywise]

The idea that Hitler was the greatest villain in modern history was sold to the world by zionists. There have been and continue to be world leaders as bad as if not worse than him, yet we never here the outcry of symbols of those societies being shown.

Hitler was evil, but he co-opted symbols for the Reich from other cultural sources, and now all those symbols are somehow off limits, because of course, no one in history ever suffered as much as the Jews in Germany.

The reason they will not let the symbol be seen in its rightful place (pre Hitler) is because then that takes away some of the symbolism of $hoah.

Name those in the 20th century that did suffer the fate of Jewish humans in Nazi Germany. And the STARS & STRIPES fly in the USA.

The symbol, itself, precedes Hitler's use of it. It, in and of itself, is not evil but can be seen as such depending on how it's used. The cross could be seen as evil if worn by a Wiccan high priest.

Pol Pot was arguably the most heinous leader to live in the 20th Century, far worse than Hitler. Ask the Cambodians if they suffered as badly as Jews.

What the fuck? Why would a cross worn by a "Wiccan High Priest" be viewed as "evil"?
