It isn't the Nazi swastika though and it's 60 years since WWII so I think it's about time the original symbol came back into its own. The Nazis hijacked it and changed it round. Alek's avatar is the original way round, the non-Nazi version. They also used other symbolism like the lighning shaped Ss but that font is still a valid font in its own right and has been used by others since.

I actually agree with what Blazey said about the Star of David. It does symbolise Judaism it's true, but doesn't actually symbolise the holocaust quite apart from it having nothing to do with all the other non-Jews who suffered the same fate.
