Disappointed to see @theJagmeetSingh conflate the Nazi #Hakenkreuz with the sacred #Swastika, perpetuating a colonial lie that demonises Hinduism. This is painful, especially given his Dharmik heritage.

While less prominent, the Swastika symbol is still a part of the Shri Guru… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Swastika can be found in and around Gurdwaras in India.

What is more disappointing is that this isn’t the first time the NDP leader has helped in furthering this misinformation, which was promptly refuted by CoHNA.

THREAD: Powerful #AI like #ChatGPT is the talk of the town. As a #HinduAdvocacy organization, we checked to see how it frames responses on #Hinduism vs other faiths. The results are concerning and display deep #bias. Read on. 1/n 👇🏽
One of the 1st questions we tested a few days ago was “Is Hinduphobia real?” We found the #AI response to be biased and sending mixed messages, especially when compared to its clear measured responses to questions against #Antisemitism and #Islamophobia. 2/n
Next, jokes about Hindu deities or religious figures are deemed appropriate and apparently not disrespectful or offensive vs those about figures from other religions! Others like @KalavaiVenkat and @mairal have also highlighted this. 3/n

An @AP article explores the contested narrative around Hitler’s #Hakenkruz & the sacred #Swastika. Thanks @reporterdeepa for this nuanced look at an issue with deep impact on Buddhist, Hindu, Jain & Native American communities living in the west. 1/n

Thrilled to see CoHNA's efforts in driving education on Swastika in the story! Our recent California campaign re AB2282 resulted in a partial win & much work remains to be done. We thank the extended group working on the change-this is Dharma in action. 🙏🏽cohna.org/organization-l…
Powerful quote from Greta Elbogen, Holocaust survivor whose family was killed at Auschwitz, says it all..."This new knowledge about the swastika feels liberating”. She no longer fears a symbol that was used to terrorize, “time to let go of the past & look to the future.” 🙏🏾3/n

Heiße ist einer der einflussreichsten und umtriebigsten Neonazis in 🇩🇪.
Als Funktionär der 2/4
FAP und dann der NPD hat er großen Einfluss auf die gesamt Neonazi-Szene in 🇩🇪. Auch zum NSU hatte er Kontakt. Eine umfangreiche Biographie über die "Karriere" von Heise findet ihr hier⬇️ Heise und Höcke kannten sich schon lange vor Höckes Eintritt in 3/4

1 - Cross of Jerusalem
2 - Cross of the Knights Hospitaller
3 - Kruckenkreuz

4 - Teutonic Order Tatzenkreuz
5 - Knights Templar Tatzenkreuz
6 - Nazi Hakenkreuz

Christianity has a long story of square centrosymmetric crosses for their crusades.

Nazi Hakenkreuz was the last one.
Kruckenkreuz was the symbol of the Austrofascist "Fatherland Front".

Christian Austrian Hitler annexed Austria to Germany. It's impossible he didn't know that fascists were cross lovers.

Hitler never mentioned any "Swastika" in the German version of Mein Kampf, only Hakenkreuz.
Hitler explained in Mein Kampf he wanted back the "heroic black, white and red colors" of the old German Empire jack.

This flag with Teutonic Order Tatzenkreuz "Iron Cross".

The flag that inspired Hitler had already this cross, which he simply turned into another type of cross.

Misunderstanding about the sacred #Swastika vs Hitler’s #Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) can indeed lead to strong reactions & potential attacks on communities who consider Swastika sacred. The below image should be rightly condemned because it is a Nazi symbol. However…1/n
…The symbol is a Hakenkreuz as referred to by Hitler himself. He and the Nazis never used the word “Swastika.” Were clear that their symbol was a cross. cohna.org/swastika-is-no… 2/n
Here is a research paper by a Jewish scholar on Holocaust and Genocide Studies on Swastika, Hakenkreuz and the Christian Cross - cohna.org/wp-content/upl… 3/n

Ich hab Artikel "Spur des Geldes" @derspiegel zu Finanzen der #Nazis gelesen. Es geht u.a. um #Rechtsrock-Konzerte in #Thüringen bzw. von Thüringer Nazis organisierte. Es kotzt mich an. Viele Infos wurden bereits VOR JAHREN von antifaschistischer Recherche veröffentlicht #thread
U.a. gehts um "Rocktoberfest" in #Unterwasser, #Schweiz. Organisiert von Thüringer #Nazis, Geld für Tickets ging auf Konto von David Heinlein, der #Turonen zuzurechnen ist & in #Saalfeld wohnt. Heinlein hat u.a. ein #Hakenkreuz tätowiert. Bild der e-mail, welche 2016 an alle Nazis versendet wurde,
Bereits zwei Tage! nach #Nazi-Konzert am 15. Oktober 2016 veröffentlichte @threchtsaussen Artikel, in dem u.a. die Summe von ca. 150.000 € aus Ticketverkäufen genannt wurde, "davon ausgehend, dass mindestens 5.000 Gäste den Eintrittspreis bezahlt haben". thueringenrechtsaussen.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/150…

#Breaking: After 4 months of relentless efforts by @hinduamerican working with allies, the word “Swastika” has been removed from @NYSenate & NY State Assembly bills NY A.9155 and NY S.7680.

BOTH bills originally referred to the swastika as “anti-Semitic and fascist symbols.”
HAF’s Anita Joshi and Shereen Bhalla worked tirelessly providing solid arguments and building strategic relationships in making this happen.

We thank the NY State Senate and Assembly, and the sponsor leads for their efforts — @AMBichotte & @LizKrueger.
Despite the horrific history of Nazi Germany, we thank our Jewish allies for their generosity in helping us end the false identification of the #hakenkreuz with the #Swastika.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparked outrage Wednesday in the Canadian House of Commons when he accused a Jewish Conservative Party member of supporting “people who wave swastikas.” @MelissaLantsman
Dear @JustinTrudeau & @theJagmeetSingh Stop stigmatising the word #Swastika in your parliament it is a Holy symbol in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism etc.
@CanadianPM @MelissaLantsman
India and Hindu's always supported/supporting Jew's and Israel against the Terrerrism and anti-Semitism.

I want to make it clear that Hitler's Heken Kruez has nothing to do with the holy religious Swastika of Hindu, Jain and Buddha.

Both are completely different.*
