I'm Jewish. I take personal offense to the use of a swastika, as it has caused great pain to my family. Although my direct family (grandmother) survived, by fleeing to Russia, others in my family did not. Do not try to argue that it has a positive meaning, allowing it to be used. While it does, the German use of it with the twisted nazi ideology has led it to be a negative symbol, symbolizing racial intolerance, ethnic cleansing, and above all, a symbol of Jewish prosecution and hate. Just don't use it. Ever. It is a symbol which should be taboo.
