On the website of Frank Meisler, an Israeli sculptor who has a studio in the Old City of Jaffa I found several Stars of David.
Israeli painter Nir Hod's "I Swear" shows a female soldier in the image of the artist swear on a bible and a gun with a false Star of David unit tag on her shoulder and a pendant with a Star of David in her hand.. In "Love Story" there's an Israeli officer with a Star of David on his arm in the image of the artist who's embracing a nurse who is also in the image of the artist. In the background there's a war.
In the 80th Moshe Gershoni made a painting titled "Mizmor Ledavid" (a hymn to David) with a black Star of David.

issues of Jewish identity. In her exhibition from 2002-2003 “Collectio Judaica” at Tel Aviv’s Rosenfeld Gallery, one of the items was an 18 carat gold brooch, 5 x 5 cm, titled: JUDE. It shows the holocaust Star of David/yellow badge as an ornament.
