Islamic Judenstern

See:

http://www.entekhabi.org/htm/islamic%20star.html

Iranian-born (1963) artist and architect Shahram Entekhabi wears on his white shirt a green Islamic star that reminds us to the "Judenstern" yellow badge - raising the question whether fundumentalist Muslims are a potential danger to public safety or the victims of prejudice.


Parthian Altar with Israelite Symbols

Yair Davidiy from Brit-am referred me to an important photo of a Parthian altar with Israelite Symbols” from 300 BC - 300 AD.
I'm going to show this Parthian altar to my mentor, Dr. Ze'ev Goldmann (who
celebrated this week his 103 birthday); he is an expert on the archaeology
of the Star of David, and I'm sure it will make his day.

Serge Gainsbourg

Wikipedia article author (entry: Serge Gainsbourg) connects the humiliation of wearing the Yellow Badge with “its” artistic expression.  In 1975, French musician Gainsbourg  released the album Rock Around the Bunker,  on the subject of the Nazis.
