[Fwd: New Israeli Flag, Part 2]

I have never run into this before.  I have used each and every way I have successfully used in the past, but still have not been able to insert this image in the body of any transmission.  Oh, I can get it to appear in any html format, etc. but once I try to send it to another machine, or even program within a machine, it disappears. I am not implying any sort of conspiracy or censorship here.  I realize that everything is monitored (and is is everything you do, whether by voice, fax, or computer, and even hand signals can be monitored and stored.  However, there is just so much stuff that such could not be the case here. So, here is the original caption one of you sent with this contribution: "They are trying to come up with a new design for the flag of Israel. One that better reflects the fundemental meaning of the country. It's not quite perfect yet." I decided it should stand all alone sans commentary.  Supply your own. I asked the designer if he or she wanted credit, and the response was that it is now in the public domain. So, there it is, with comments from another of you.  Hm.

Not bad at all, it seems to reflect the extremist Zionist spirit and will!  Well of course even the infamous swastika is an ancient Eastern religious symbol, 

you still find it today on contemporary statues of the Buddha.  I guess when you think about it, the number

of geometric logos is fairly limited just by the fact that you can't do a lot with a few lines or figures.  I always thought the flag of Sicily seems to 

depict a running swastika ( far right) , or maybe the early Hindu one below on the far left.  The middle NASDAP icon is still verboten most places.

The bottom one is asian, it turns left like they do in Sicily, apparently/

The swastika (from Sanskrit svastika) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form. Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. It occurs today in the modern day culture of India, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol; it remains widely used in Eastern and Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

Despite this usage, the symbol has become stigmatized and to some extent taboo in the Western world because of its iconic usage by Nazi Germany, and it has notably been outlawed in Germany if used as a symbol of Nazism (usage of the sign by religious groups is tolerated). Many modern political extremists and Neo-Nazi groups such asAfrikaner Weerstandsbeweging and Russian National Unity use stylised swastikas or similar symbols.
