star. The book "The Six Pointed Star, It's History and Origin" by Dr. O.J. Graham shows from Jewish scholars and reference books that that is not a symbol for the Jews but of the Arabs anciently. It is the Star of Molloch, a culture that sacrificed their children to fire that HaShem hates. Archeological excavations find the six pointed star as a symbol on Arab houses of worship, not ancient Jewish artifacts. The menora is rightly the symbol of the Jews, not the six pointed star which should be taken off the Israeli flag and replaced with a menora as the symbol of Israel.

of David are Jewish symbols,the Menora going back to the second Temple,and the star of David to the 17th century,when it was adopted by the Jews of Prague,by the same token,the German swastica,has an innocent beginning,originating in India,which doesn't diminish the fact that it became the symbol of evil Germany,besides,the arabs hate the star of David,which makes it very Jewish.

witchcraft, not the Jews who are Jews in their hearts. Read Dr. O.J. Graham's book, "The Six Pointed Star: Its Origin and History." The references are Jewish and the conclusion is that it is a symbol of Molloch, a pagan religion that burned children and babies in a flaming iron belly of an idol. It is condemned in Scriptures even in the time of Moses as well as by Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth. It needs to be abandoned as a symbol for Israel and Jews who are Jews in their hearts. There are lots of atheist Jews who practice magic, perhaps. But the HaShem, the six pointed star is an abomination.
