A good summary of the origins of the swastik. As far as incorprating the swastik into religion (as against a motif for mofif's sake), Indics seem to be earliest (or dis I miss something in the article?) ... If so, then finding a swastik in Jewish place of worship could mean Jews were influenced by Indics. [Unless we find many such objects in ancient Jewish places of worship, in which case it would mean that swastik was just one of many attractive-looking motifs Jews used to decorate their temples].
After going through (very hurriedly, though) Stephen Knapp's book on the Evidence of Global Existence of Vedic Culture...well, things always look suspicious!
