Sad thing is, there was probably no malicious intent.. people only see what they want to see.

And wasn't the swastika a symbol of peace before the Nazis claimed it?

What a load of crap, just a basic design which happens to have swastikas if you isolate a part of the design.

They were supposed to put the swastika paper on the Christmas display. Duh

FYI - The Swastika has been a very religious and sacred symbol of the Hindus for thousands of years and is still used in India extensively. They are not going to stop using it just because of what the Nazi's did to it.

It was also a symbol used by American Indians as well. Not sure if they're still there, but back in the 80's in Ketchikan Alaska all the street lights had a row of swastikas around the their base. Also, the US 45th Infantry Div had this as their patch back in the 30's...

Ahhh yes - it's Christmas in Jew York and they aren't happy about Jesus and Santa, so they try and induce guilt upon the happy white people. Anyone remember the fat rabbi who had all the trees taken down in the airport a few years ago?

Isn't the Hindu symbol a mirror image? Can't remember.

Peace, and very similar to the ying yang in Native American culture.

As to the wrapping paper in question, I had to look to see/find it. It's almost like a magic eye thing to find it. Hell, half of them are backwards... that's almost "pro jew" in my mind.
