1. No leads? Why not start with the farmer?
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (08.24.10)
2. Do we needa pernission to do as we please in our land?
Jens ,   Germany   (08.24.10)
Apparently this has hurt the feelings of some certain people in the MIDEAST. Please do keep in mind that swastikas do not necessarily symbolize the Nazi ideology. Anyone with a bit of studying in history would know that.
3. Antisemitic aliens!
Avi ,   NYC, NY   (08.24.10)
It must have been done by antisemitic aliens. "Antisemitism," the reflex title we Jews give everyone who criticises us, apparently spread beyond our solar system. It is only a proof that each and every one of us should double his donation to the ADL.
4. @2 But we all know what is the message
Neo ,   Germany   (08.25.10)
Anyone with a bit of modesty and tactfulness wouldnt post such an disrespectful stupid comment.. I couldnt find any message here in the media about this shamefull incident yet..
5. @2 Jens - don't be naive. swastikas in Germany have one and
Ron ,   TLV, Israel   (08.25.10)
only meaning. if the swastikas were in Thailand (for ex.), I might had some doubt. but since they are in Germany... it's all about the Nazis. don't treat us like we are dumb or something.
6. to Avi from no.3 ... god you are so funnnny! NOT!
yet another jew   (08.25.10)
7. #2 Please keep in mind...
Soeren ,   Cologne/Germany   (08.25.10)
... that the swastika – when used in our times – means exactly the nazi ideology – and nothing else. And we don't want that in our land. Anybody less in denial would realize that. And in what kind of perversion your personal, individual quest for self-determination must end when you start exactly with defending this monster ideology...?
8. No.2 – Anyone with a bit of common sense
D ,   TA   (08.25.10)
would know the connotations of that symbol Other than that, after you killed 15M you should ask for permission for everything, apparently you are not very good in taking decisions by yourself.
9. To #2
Rob ,   USA   (08.25.10)
You appear to be as low as they come. Crawl back behind your rock!
10. MORE REASON FOR THE IDF
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (08.25.10)
TO FUEL THERE COMBAT AIRCRAFT AND HIT IRAN RESPECT HONOR AND DIGNITY WILL BE RESTORED THE UNITED STATES HAS MORE NAZI SKINHEADS THEN EUROPE COMBINED AND THE RAW FACT IS A WEAK JEW IS TRAMPLED ON A FIGHTING JEW IS RESPECTED .
11. #2; Jens, thanks for the history lesson
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.25.10)
Really Jens, do you suppose that when most people see it, what they think about is, its previous origin, before it was hijacked by the Nazi's? I've always wondered why, why is there somebody like you at every party. Mark Twain once said, and it definitely applies to you: "Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it."
12. to #2 the swastika is no permitted for a reason.
ghostq   (08.25.10)
13. Permission?
Josie ,   Melbourne, Australia   (08.25.10)
Your question is moot, Jens, as no legal body would give permission to commit hate crimes. And if you had studied some history, you would realise that the Nazi swastika points in the opposite direction of the original swastikas that were around prior to Hitler hijacking what had once been a perfectly benevolent symbol.
14. Finally, Germany's secret WW2 weapon has appeared.
WikiMiki   (08.25.10)
15. Jens - you do realize...
Eldad ,   New York, USA   (08.25.10)
...that it is Germany that has outlawed the swastika because it offends Germans and their ugly history. Do you really think Israel requested that Germany outlaw use of the swastika?
16. Swastika: World's Oldest Symbol
Heathen Gliebe ,   North Royalton, OH   (08.28.10)
The Swastika will never go away, so it might be best for the promoters of equality to just start practicing what they preach, "TOLERANCE."
