Like a Gold Ring In a Pig's Snout

Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a black Star of David on a Kahane Movement sticker, and the sticker is part of his collection. The Hebrew words say: "Arab, don’t you dare to think about a Jewess". It is interesting to note that the bottom triangle is created from the wrist, and the right side of it must be completed by the viewer’s imagination. The successful design and the disgusting message remind me of the verse in proverbs 11:22: “like a gold ring in a pig's snout”.

Good Will Ambassadors Sticker

Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a colorful Star of David on a sticker of Good Will Ambassadors Organization, and the sticker is part of his collection. The Hebrew words say: "Don’t be a hooligan, represent us honorably abroad ". The word "hooligan" in Hebrew is similar to the word for "abroad" and the designer used this similarity to maximize the effect of his message. Interestingly the Star of David is made from six non-equilateral triangles and not from the known design of two equilateral triangles. These triangles also create a hexagonal frame in the center of the logo.

Womb or Frame

Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a sticker against abortions, and the sticker is part of his collection. We see an embryo in a womb, which has the shape of a Star of David.

The Star of David is used frequently as a frame for “important things” like peace, Zion, Jerusalem. This specific design makes you think of every frame as a womb, or the other way round: of every womb as a frame.
