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.

well, so far as I can tell, at least two of the people who've so far
said they can't possibly make out a swastika are jewish, so…
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.
