THREAD: This weekend, join us for our #SwastikaIsSacred campaign. It’s a festive time marking the movement of the sun into a new cycle & celebrated variously as Makar Sankranti/Pongal/Magh Bihu/ Bhogi/Lohri/Sankrant/Uttarayan or more - so let’s make it more special! How to?👇🏽 1/n 
On Makar Sankranti and through this weekend (Jan 14 and Jan 15), change your social media profile photos to a Swastika. 2/n
Share pictures, videos, articles, etc. of Swastika displayed in your home, at a temple, in art, in sacred imagery or anywhere you have seen it being used for religious and cultural purposes. 3/n
Apart from the fact that the symbol used by Hitler was not Swastika but Hooked Cross (Haken Kreuz), here is what the Chief Rabbi of Israel stated in a joint declaration of the second Hindu-Jewish summit in 2008: "Swastika is an ancient and greatly auspicious symbol...
..of the Hindu Tradition. It is inscribed on Hindu temples, ritual altars, entrances, and even account books. A distorted version of this sacred symbol was appropriated by the Third Reich in Germany..The participants recognise that this symbol is, and has been sacred to Hindus..
...for millennia, long before its misappropriation."
@yodaberg If you have an issue, first take it up with your ex-chief Rabbi and Jew leadership, it's them who affirmed #Swastika as an auspicious and sacred symbol to Hindus. #SwastikaIsSacred
