Non-Israeli Star of David Postage Stamps
This video clip is based on a PowerPoint presentation that I converted to video format by using an elegant software called wondershare PPT to YouTube. The presentation is arranged by alphabetic order of the names of the countries that issued stamps which carry Star of David on them. I reckon that most of you readers didn’t know that such stamps even existed. Since I copied the images from the WWW most resolutions are quite poor and in case you’ve got better images I’ll be glad to replace the current ones.

Uruguay Salutes the Maccabiah
Star of David appears on a Uruguay postage stamp issued in 1991 to mark the Jewish sport games. I can understand the interest of the Israeli Postal Authority to issue such stamps, but why would any Uruguayan citizen be interested in such a subject seems enigmatic to me.
Togo, Friendship with Israel Stamp
Star of David appears on a postage stamp issued by Togo in 1965. The Friendship lasted until 1973 War. In 1987 Togo renewed diplomatic ties with Israel.
