People who lose their shit over swastikas are some of the worst of the smoothbrains, despite often being "highly educated."
I was in a jewelry shop in the ME and the person next to me saw a piece with swastikas around the edge and started making a big deal about it. I had to explain that one, we weren't in the west, and two, other countries see it as a symbol of good luck, or religion, no different than a four leaf clover or cross.
EDIT: And, since we were in the ME, I doubt very much that anyone there would have cared about the feelings of Jews.
Saw this first hand when I was in Japan, there's always a few tourists who flipped their shit at a temple. Americans and Germans were the typical nationality to make a scene. Some others made odd faces or looked shocked but either moved on away from them or asked an English speaking guide about them.
