Ignorance Leads to Mistakes
Ofer Rubin wood Star of David on Yevu Yashir's Booth in Binyaney Ha'uma, International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (ICEJ ) Fair, Tabernacles 2007. We brought these boxes assuming they fit Christmas trees, but found out that the customers belong to denominations that don't celebrate with a Christmas tree. It was like trying to sell meat in a world convention of vegetarians.

Zionism On The Web
Photo of green Stars of David on a cardboard gun is courtesy of Andre Oboler who published it on a forum called Zionism On The Web and wrote there on Mar 28, 2006 that
GUPS (the General Union of Palestinian Students) have set up a mock wall behind their stall. In front of it they distribute literature as a black and white set of images shine onto a sheet. Out of spare cardboard they create machine guns, decorated with stars of David and the words “Born to Kill”. They aim these at passing students, apparently targeting those who look “obviously Jewish”… They explained that they were "setting up a checkpoint" and were "pointing the guns at people just like Israeli soldiers do".
