As you may remember, I was a ‘card-carrying’ Raelian in the early 1980’s. The above symbol was their badge of honour. Rael used to wear a metal one as a medallion. These days the swastika has morphed into a pinwheel. The early symbolism was a hint that the god Yahweh was also connected to Hinduism. Swastika is from a Sanskrit word that means “conducive to well-being”. It was the Nazis that turned this symbol into one that wasn’t conducive to well-being. It became a symbol of evil.

Police Scotland was last night embroiled in an extraordinary hate crime row amid claims a woman who reported an anti-Semitic Facebook post ended up being quizzed about her own ethnicity.

A former police officer reported the post, which depicts a Nazi swastika within a Star of David, to the force but claims she was told no charges would be brought because she is not herself Jewish.

The post, made by a relative of an SNP minister we have chosen not to name, is captioned ‘Nazism = Zionism’.
