I thought about asking the OP for a tracing to make it easier for me to find. But after 4-5 minutes of looking at it, I definitely see a pizza… with the face of Jesus on it. And not the Jesus who puts food on the table, I mean the Jewish one.

I'm a gay, gays were among the many victims of the Nazis. Do I somehow have better visual acuity to locate swastikas? Fine, I'll use my 21st century gay powers to put this issue to rest. You've now got two Jews and a homo saying they don't see this thing.

Nevertheless, I think we really do need at least a 2nd and 3rd person, anyone, even Mr. Super White Straight non-Jew Male, see this thing also. It's either there or it isn't, and it's not like Nazism is exactly an ideology that works subliminally and subtly either. The context matters, and I see neither the context present nor its symbol.

I think we shouldn't accuse people of trolling unless they're clearly trolling. (i.e. don't resort to play ground name calling unless you've run out of logical arguments, and you can be funny rather than be a dick when resorting to it)
