Swastika and SS flags visible from nearby highway.
Flagmaker says they are not offeinsive just "merchandise".
Jewish community say they will protest until flags are removed
A DEFIANT flag-maker says Nazi flags flying outside his home will not be removed.
Angry members of the Melbourne Jewish community have demanded the swastika and SS flags flying outside the Carrum property be removed.
Flag-maker Rob Boot said he would not remove the flags from his front yard along the Nepean Highway because of the complaints.
"I'm just a flag salesman and it's just merchandise to me," Mr Boot said.
"I'm at liberty to display what I want on my own property.
"There's no political message behind it at all." [SNIP]

Comment (rejected by the censors):We live in a land where the very moment the average Jewish person, or Marxist or even Labor supporter finds reason to disagree with another person not part of their group, they accuse them of being an anti-Semite and Nazi. Disagree with an Indigenous Australian and you will be called a racist and White Supremacist - which if in a public forum inevitability leads to the first groups I mentioned hounding the person or persons into submission, destroying their livelihood and having them evicted from their homes. These groups vilify and destroy lives in the exact same way that they claim the "Nazis" did. They are what they claim to fight against - the fact is, they just do not like rivals. Mr Boot has every right to fly his flags without Jewish Supremacists and Marxist Hate-Groups attempting to publicly vilify him and destroy his livelihood. As Mr Boot has stated that he is not flying the flags for any political motive, he would have undoubtedly taken them down and replaced them with other flags as advertising material for his business, but now, Mr Boot taking down those flags has gone from a matter of course to another example of the bludgeoning of freedom of speech by Jewish Supremacists.
The Communist flag was once raised by activists as a protest against government oppression and majority rule. Considering that Communism today is treated as the saviour of the world, perhaps we should all raise the "Nazi" flag outside our homes as a protest against government oppression and minority rule? Mr Boot, where can I buy one of your flags?

"I'm not a racist, and I don't think it's racist," flag owner and Minnesota City Councilman Ed Hansen said. "People like to play the race card, though, when they don't get their way." [more ...] (http://news.yahoo.com/minn-city-councilman-defends-confederate-flag-outside-home-154818571.html)

Hansen has removed the flag. He relayed that his intention was to raise awareness of the tax and spend attitude of government and he flew the flag as a "rebel" not a racist.
