It doesn't matter to how many people it's offensive. Speech is protected, no
matter how offensive it may be (or at least it should be; unfortunately there
are forces trying to cut back on freedom of expression). That's not to say
that it's improper to point out that someone's using a symbol in a way that's
offensive to someone else, and to point out the "proper" use, but simply that
people have a right to say or express things that may be disagreeable to
others. Whether the symbol's a pentagram, swastika, or star of david is
irrelevant.
BTW, there's nothing wrong with walking out on something, either.
