Do the Jews hate the swastika?

In my opinion, the hate lies more in what it stood for then the symbol itself, when beliefs and principles are conjoined, there-in lies the problem with the symbol(s) It's called associative reality. When most Westerners use the swastika today, they use it as a symbol of discrimination against Jews and as a symbol that Jews should be second-class if not entirely eliminated. This is what causes the ire, not the symbol itself. This is why Jews do not complain about seeing the Swastika all across Asia. They know that when Hindus and Buddhists use the swastika, it is a symbol of harmony and completeness as opposed to oppressive, apartheid dictatorship.

Who was the leader of the battle of Great Bridge?

(Since this is world wide please note:Americans use the term Tories where English use Loyalist to describe those loyal to the crown. Likewise they use Whigs where English use Patriots.) Lord Dunmore commanded the British Army. William Wofford commanded the Whig Army. On December 9, 1775, Lord Dunmore's army found the Whig army encamped behind large earthworks near The Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia at Great Bridge. The British Army would climb the earthworks into a volley of gunfire. Then it would retreat. The British officers believed that eventually the Whigs would run out of ammunition like they did at Bunker Hill. Then they could overpower the Whig army with fixed bayonets. Before the Whigs ran out of Ammunition, a large Whig militia force from North Carolina joined the battle. The British were outnumbered and abandoned the battlefield. They fled to the Tory town of Norfolk, Virginia.
