Find The Differences

I changed the angle of the hexagram from Hisham's palace in photoshop in order to enable more convenient comparison between the two shapes.
IMHO Muslims who dislike the Star of David may look at it as an ancient Omayyad emblem. The hexagram is an inter-religious symbol. In the course of time it served Muslims, Christians, Jews and Budhists and there's no need to hate it just because it is identified currently with Israel and the Jews.

Jericho

This is a Muslim Six pointed Star from the eighth century C.E. in Hisham palace (Khirbet El-Mafjar) located 3 km north of Jericho.

This is not the only hexagram in Hisham's Palace:
b. In p.572 there's another photo of a grill from diwan of bath dated to 739-43 C.E.

Most Complexly Emotive of All Jewish Symbols
In The Age Website Chris Evans wrote on May 4, 2004 an article about a controversial artwork on display in Flinders Street in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The work shows a large Star of David painted on a wall along with Red text including statistic data concerning Israel's behavior towards the Palestenians.
David Bernstein wrote on May 6 on the same Website:
David Bernstein wrote on May 6 on the same Website:
…the use of the Star of David in an indisputably hostile context was deliberately provocative. The Star of David is the most complexly emotive of all Jewish symbols: it has profound, ages-old religious significance as the most ubiquitous and recognisable of such symbols.

Dutch Navy

A Lieutenant-Admiral has four white sixpointed stars in the red stripe near the hoist of the tricolour…
A Vice-Admiral has three …A Rear-Admiral has two (side by side) …A Commodore has one.
He doesn’t explain why the Dutch Navy chose this shape and not any other shape.
