Many people in the past few weeks has seen the Star of David in the Israeli flag on CNN, BBC and throughout the Media. After the 11 Sept also many American Flags have been seen.....more Patriotism than ever before in the US. It is if there are only two flags and only two nations in the World now. Very seldom does one see the flag of the United Nations. What is the US and Israel up to? WWIII? I hope not, not only for the sake of humanity but also for the sake of the "Star of David" on the Israeli Flag. Why? In Nazi Germany the emblem for National Socialism was the swastika, an ancient cosmic or religious symbol formed by a Greek cross with the ends of the arms bent at right angles. This symbol everyone knows from history and the Holocaust, a massive slaughter of the Jews. The Star of David or shield of David is the symbol most commonly associated with Judaism today. This symbol is rare in early Jewish literature. This symbol of intertwined equilateral triangles is thought to bring good luck. The symbol today is Universally recognized symbol of Jewry. What happened to the swastika after the war? The swastika became the symbol for hatred and the “pure race”. What is going to happen with the Star of David if Sharon continues to “behave” like Hitler did during and before WWII? People will start visualizing the Star of David with something repealing like the swastika. Does anyone want this to happen? Should events worsen in the Mid East everyone will know it was Sharon’s fault and people will become angry and take out their anger on the Jewish People which is TOTALLY WRONG. What can we do about this?
Very little because this has to come from within, the Jewish people in Israel has to say NO to Sharon . Ariel Sharon is the true “forces of evil”, the true “terrorist” and the person that is going down in history as the modern-day Hitler. The people of Israel must do something to stop him and his Right Wing supporters or is every Israeli a Right-Winger today? I don’t think so and something has to be done now.
Get out on the streets of Israel and Protest . Save your sacred symbol.
