Swastika (Sanskrit "Suastika" - "[You] Be Good")
The symbol was known in ancient India, It was also known to the English as the Fylfot., to the Greeks as the Tetraskelion and to the Celts as the Tetraskele, to the Europeans, to the Chinese; even Native American ornamentation contains swastikas, perhaps via the Vikings. Ironically, it is a good luck symbol and it is a symbol of our commingled Proto Indo-European roots.
In Germany it was known as the Hakenkreuz. It became their nationalistic cultural emblem. Then, unfortunately, the Nazis adopted it as part of their new flag . That made it a Bad Luck symbol.
There are now "Reclaim the Swastika" movements comprising those who feel that the memory of Naziism should no longer be allowed to besmirch an old and very traditional symbol. They are quite right to do this, but I think it will be some time before it becomes a good luck symbol in Israel.
These things take time, mainly time for living memory to pass.

Where did swastika comes from?
The origin of the swastika goes back 3000 years. Swastika-shaped ornaments have been found through archaeological evidence dating from the Neolithic period. The word 'swastika' is derived from 'Sanskrit' meaning 'lucky object'. It can aslo mean 'good luck' and is associated with well-being. Various versions of the swastika has been widely used in religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, as well as in Greco-Roman and Celtic antiquity and in Pre-Christian culture in the West. Some Native American tribes have also used the swastika shape. From the 1930s the swastika became associated with the Nazis in Germany and has since become a taboo symbol in the Western world, for example it is outlawed in Germany to use the swastika. Nowadays it is associated with political extremist and neo-Nazi groups like the Ku Klux Klan, the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging in South Africa and the Russian National Unity.
