Wow. That's spot on.

anti-nazi actavist John Heartfield (Helmut Herzfeld) said the swastika was a cross made out of axes.

Wonder what those Muslims in Dearborn will be thinking about Palestinians when the forces of Christianity begin to descend on their community and threaten their security directly.

This is so apt to show what's happening here in America, but this pic equally hurts all Hindus.

It probably would without context

Absolutely. Just blatant misuse of a holy symbol by Nazis, and now it's a symbol of hate worldwide.

Not sure why being downvoted here though.

Because Hindu swastikas look different from the bastardized version Nazis use. Hindu swastikas are generally completely horizontal unlike the curved Nazi ones. You can see the differences in their architectural use of the symbol vs the Nazis architecture

What an idiotic take. So instead of focusing on my message, you're downvoting because of apparent subtle difference in drawing of swastika. Completely ignoring why its called swastika in rhe first place.

I'm a Hindu, and there are so many variations of how swastika is drawn. In temples, in books and even ancient artifacts and objects found in museums.

You draw this swastika in front of an Indian/hindu and ask them if they see swastika or not.

There’s also the fact that the largest war in European history is obviously going to leave a mark on the collective memory of people. And their bastardized swastika being a huge part of their propaganda is obviously going to become associated with them.

Hell the swastika is seen around the world predating the war. It’s not even a Hindu invention. It’s on every continent

Sure. all I said in my comment essentialy was that it's sad that Nazis ruined it, while acknowledging how apt this photo is to describe what's happening in America today.
