Usually the yellow badge is presented in the foreground and demands the whole attention of the viewer, but here the image of the yellow badge on the poster hides behind the boy and the foreground is dedicated to the multi-cultures of Jerusalem.
IMHO the message is that life goes on.

Based on the Israeli police logo, which is based on the Star of David. The Hebrew word means traffic.
Look carefully and you'll see a small white plastic Star of David under the large blue one. Photo taken a few days AFTER Independence Day 2008. It seems that no one hurries to make an end to this patriotic celebration.
Dobush from Kfar Aza sent me this row of blue Stars of David which appear on the tab of the Menorah postage stamp issued in Israel in 1952.
