Just gonna point out that that’s a Crusader cross, I think it’s the cross of Jerusalem specifically but I’m only really familiar with like three Crusader orders so it could be one of the more obscure ones I’m just not recognizing. I only say this since I keep seeing folks calling it the iron cross which is an entirely different symbol and would be less of a red flag since at least the iron cross has connections to the German Empire, Modern Germany, and American Biker gangs.
I made a recreation of a local bust of Kaiser Wilhelm (one of the good ones, brought peace to Europe (the non-ominous way)) that happened to include an actual iron cross medal. I was concerned about modern interpretations and so I did research on it, and the anti-defamation league tells me that it is not a hate symbol. Good enough for me.

The same anti-defamation league that said musk’s nazi salute was just a awkward gesture?
Wasn’t that a Israel advocacy group who’s name presently escapes me?
Nope
