The Masonic Square and Compasses and the Seal of Solomon

John J. Robinson claimed in his book (born in blood: the lost secrets of Freemasonry, 1989 ISBN 0871316021) that there’s a similarity between The Masonic Square and Compasses and Solomon’s Seal and the reason for this is that the Masonic Square and Compasses are one of many Masonic “loans” from the Knight Templars.
The order of the Knight Templars was founded in 1119, and it’s connection to Solomon (and Solomon’s Seal) is apparent from its full name: The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon. Their first headquarters was at the Temple Mount (The Temple of Solomon
The Masonic Square and Compasses appear (mainly in North America) with the letter G representing Geometry or God or both. With or without any connection to the Square and Compasses symbol the letter G appears in the center of Masonic Solomon Seals (six-pointed stars).

Yiddish Hebrew Dictionary

On the cover of the Yiddish Hebrew Dictionary by Israel Brechyahu printed in 1947 in Kassel, Germany for holocaust survivors in the American Zone we see Magen David above a swastika above the wreckage from the period of the holocaust, including burning parchments and a Menorah. Thanks to Dobush from Kfar Gaza who directed me to this picture.

Magen David on a Toyota

Here’s a story: Zako steadily contributes pictures to this blog. He walks about in Jerusalem and photographs Magen Davids. Just now he sent to me this picture of a Magen David on a Toyota. What’s interesting is that I photographed the same car about a month ago, but my photograph was taken in the night with flash whereas his photograph was taken during the day. In my photograph we see the number of the car whereas in his photograph a black patch hides it. Since this car is unique, and parks regularly near my house- I knew where exactly was Zako when he shot it and I didn’t need his explanation.

Khadafi Solomon Seal Postage stamp

Philatelicum, manager of an eBay Store, sent me a video response (to my "Non-Israeli Star of David Postage Stamps") showing twelve "Khadafi" postage stamps issued in January 1st, 1986 that were withdrawn from circulation after two hours because there was discovered a rank in the shape of the Star of David (Muslims call it Solomon’s Seal) on Khadafi’s shoulder.
