      Fuck Israel (specifically its government) , but leaning into the myth that “Israel” and “Judaism” are the same thing only helps them.

        The star of David was adopted as a Zionist symbol, not a Jewish symbol. Before ~1850 it would be ridiculous to conflate the two, and until the 1940s it was still incredibly controversial to link it to Judaism. It was ironically the Nazis that popularized the idea a hexagram should be the Jewish symbol.
