It's been used by native Americans too...long before Hitler.
Honestly I don't think the average American cares..unless maybe they are Jewish.
Correct. I'm sure it was the Jewish sensibility that was "injured" when seeing this. Given how very effective Jews are in political and legal dialectics, many of whom even are fluent in Japanese , perhaps complained to Japanese tourism ministry.
It's always interesting to see such a minority , the Jew, can be so influential and vocal.
Well it's still very legal to hang a Nazi swastika flag outside your house over here no matter what people think or how vocal they are
I don't have great faith in the west having much intelligence about faith issues. TYT is one of my favorite shows BTW. I'd recommend it to all forum members. It has nothing to do with me having the hots for Anna Kasparian@Rajaraja Chola this one is an epic fail.
Even in the west, there is large tolerance for Swastika when it predates Nazi usage:
Finnish Airforce parade:
It was a famous aviation related "good luck" symbol in the West before Nazi Germany. You will see many pictures of aviators wearing it. Rudyard Kipling (who hated Indian culture overall) always put a swastik at the start of his books. It was a well known Celtic, Greek, Mesopotamian, African, Mesoamerican symbol.
I'm not even going into Eastern usage of it (since you have all covered it).
....and now we have an Eastern country banning its use because of PC like @Nihonjin1051 said.
Shocking and stupid!
LOL, but not confederate flag on state buildings, buddy.
Kipling hated Indian culture but wrote stories using our culture?
.
This isn't about Europe but about Japan. Japanese aren't bringing religious symbols to Europe. Some Jewish tourists in Japan are complaining about Japanese traditions. The average European isn't bothered by presence of religious icons in Japan. Only Jewish people like you are, so don't speak in name of all Europeans. You have the right to whine about it, that's true.
It's unfortunate that Japan made that decision. It's unfortunate that Jewish people stick their nose in everyone's business. At least now the Japanese people will change their views on you and be less pro-Israel maybe. You're only hurting yourself, I don't mind.

Too bad Nazi did not use a triangle or square as their symbol as that would be interesting in today's world.
Too bad Nazi leader's name was Adolf Hitler and not John Smith. That would even be more interesting.
And Japanese think Koreans and Chinese are their enemies
They can always switch the pic to the Naval Rising Sun flag.
Too bad some easterners have an issue with it.
The point is, why should Jewish people have special treatment over everyone else? You can make fun of blacks and Asians it is ok? But when you disagree with Jewish views, you're automatically anti semetic?
He found us locals as intriguing and colourful....but in need of "civilising". The memories he had were mostly from his childhood and youth....so he had fondness for some of it....but let there be no doubt....he saw us as little more than a colony of savages that required imperialism to rectify.
Though to be a little more fairer to him, he also criticized the manner of British rule in India at certain times too (like if you read Kim)....but overall he was a big believer in white mans burden etc...
But maybe the use of the word "hate" is too strong....he did have contempt for a lot of it at times (but who could really blame him that much). At least he did make some effort in bridging the divide personally. Even today there is a saying....you either hate india or love india....you cannot sit on fence, but you will know right away if its for you
