For a solenoidal vector field J with compact support and suitable integrability, apply the divergence theorem to xi​xj​J. It gives zero boundary term and hence the displayed antisymmetry. Equivalently, for any constant vector C, the vector triple product identity yields ∫(C⋅r)JdV=21​C×∫(J×r)dV. A piecewise smooth field must have no normal jump at its support boundary; otherwise its weak divergence contains a surface contribution and the argument fails.
