The houndstooth checkered style has come and gone in fashion through the decades. Houndstooth patterns were all over everything in the late 1980's. I even had jean stirrup pants with the black & white pattern and it had nothing to do with Palestine or wanting to harm Jews. In Buddhism, the swastika is used as a symbol which was explained to me of the cycle of life. First time I saw someone wear one, I had honestly thought the man was anti-Semitic and out to get Jews. I am glad I looked at him more closely and saw another pendant, a Buddha, and then asked at the local Buddhist centre.
It is a person's own choice to wear what he or she wants to wear. Jews need to look in their own mirror as a woman not covered under Orthodox standards will be assault via men throwing stones if a Western female tourist accidentally wanders into Mea Shirim. Sounds almost as if the Orthodox are like the fanatic Muslims when it comes to women: totally covered and have them breeding for the religion. An Orthodox woman in Israel is often worn out from having 6+ kids and supporting a husband for his "studies".
