The Jewish Star of David means a lot of different things for a lot of different people:
God's rule
Creation
Jewish identity
As above as below
Four elements
Masculine – feminine
Astronomical configuration
Protection
Messiah
Hope
Suffering
Survival
Messianic
Twelve tribes
Opposites
Marriage
Sukkah Guests
Jerusalem (Zion , Zionism)
Water and fire in Alchemy
One of the stars in the sky

Personal meanings
Anyhow the main interpretations are that it stands for Israel and or Judaism. How to draw the line between these representations opens another arena.

Meru Foundation has an original analysis of the letters that compose the Hebrew words Magen David and his conclusion is that (http://www.gaiamind.com/triangle.html)
"in Hebrew, the double-triangle, known as the Mogan David represents the "dispensation of ongoing manifestation." In other words, the double-triangle represents the way one dimension pours itself out into the next dimension just like the way a seed pours itself out until it becomes a fruit. This is the sacred process and the sacred path. It is an animation of the "hero's journey" expressed in a sequence of geometric snapshots".
