Kjbert adam The Israeli flag is not a political symbol but a Religious one and knowing how the flag came about might help to understand its meaning. When they met to form a Jewish state after the Holocaust, the delegates representing Israel showed up to the meeting and each table had a flag on it. Israel did not have one and the leader of the group sent someone out go get a flag. Not knowing what to get or where, the gentleman took of his tallis cut the strings off, the Jewish Star was adopted 5 months later. The state and the flag were created as a result of religious persecution and was a perfect representation of the Jewish people. Also the Flag was a symbol of Zion as early as the Worlds Fair in 1904.I have issues with the Israeli and US governments too. But I'm proud to see both flags waived and hear their national anthems played.
In addition, many countries use religion in flags, including Algeria, Turkey, Pakistan, England, the nordic Countries, and switzerland to name a few.
