It really isn't. They deserve their symbol back. It's a lesson on how badly a group of shitty people can appropriate and ruin a symbol, weirdly enough Pepe the frog is a more modern one.

Wow, this is worded badly. Nazi swastika is not equal to Buddhism symbol.

I hope they win. Make it that it's only nazi when it has the white circle and red square surrounding it

Considering that Swastika brand cooking oil with a large swastika on the container is the most popular brand I saw in Nepal and India. I don't think this is a real issue.

It is typically arrogant that the monotheist West assumes it can do away with other people's faith. The history of colonialism is very much underpinned by the theories of divine election in the Hebrew scriptures.
