How to use swastika in a sentence?

  1. Tom Petty:

    People just need to think about how it looks to a black person, it's just awful. It's like how a swastika looks to a Jewish person. It just shouldn't be on flagpoles.

  2. Forrest Dunbar:

    For Forrest Dunbar and most Jews, seeing the yellow Star of David on someone's chest elicits the same feeling as seeing a swastika on a flag or the SS insignia on a uniform, it is a symbol of hate that reminds us Jews of the terror and horror we suffered. I believe it is a constitutional right to protest for your values. But I request that you do not use symbols that diminish the 6 million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust and the survivors who would like their children not to know the nightmare they endured.

  3. John Jordan:

    The Swastika was originally The Swastika and ‘ The Nutzy ’ is something that has lots of layers, i certainly have sympathy – but I don’t make any apology. It is something that was misunderstood. Of course, ‘ Nutzy ’ has a play on ‘ Nazi ’, but The Nutzy can also be for ‘ nuts ’ or ‘ courageous ’. The Nutzy depends how The Nutzy is interpreted.

  4. Blake Flayton:

    An American Jew is only used to perceiving anti-Semitism as Nazis in Charlottesville carrying tiki torches, or a swastika being spray-painted onto a synagogue wall, or the Christian right saying that Jews killed Jesus Christ. We're not very attuned to and good at recognizing anti-Semitism when it doesn't come from that extreme side of the political spectrum, but we are going to have to get used to it, because that's what's coming here. It's already here.

  5. Stephen Piggott:

    We’re seeing a lot of young people wearing patches like that in the white nationalist world, if you were walking down the street, the average person wouldn’t have a clue what that patch is. But if he was walking down the street wearing a Nazi swastika, it would be completely different.
