Ministry of National Infrastructures
the logo of the Israeli Ministry of National Infrastructures has a superb Star of David design, but it is hard to find what is the connection between it and the Ministry’s responsibilities.
What Is A Symbol

The Star of David is a Symbol – but what is a Symbol?
I entered the keywords DEFINE: Symbol into Goggle’s search-window and got many interesting answers. You may do the same...
Moroccan Seal of Solomon
Why did the Moroccan ruler My Sulayman [1792-1822 AD] use the Seal of Solomonon for his bronze Falus? It also answers the question why this shape appears on some Moroccan flags…
But how did this symbol (Seal of Solomon) succeed in rallying the population to bronze coins? It was seen as a protective magical icon and as endowed of it's original power as a buckler. Moreover, it's magical powers are multiplied by the fact that it also represent a pair of eyes - one upright, and the other flipped over - sharing a single pupil. It thus acts as a shield from the "evil eye". It is preponderant with it's magical power.

Tables of the Covenant Lions and Stars of David
Photo is courtesy of Rob Hoey who published it on Flickr and took it on manhattan, New York City. I already wrote several times that the Magen David has a tendency to appear in the company of other important Jewish emblems, that compete with it on the birthright, like the Menorah, lions, Herzl etc. Here it is seen along with the Ten Commandments, the Tables of the covenant.
On 11 July 1948 David Ben Guryon suggested that the symbol of the Israeli state would be two lions holding the Tables of the covenant, just like here.
Makuya on You Tube
Watch rudimart1’s 2 minutes video showing a Makuya group arriving to Ben Gurion Airport, Israel, in the middle of the night on 25th February 2007.
The Israeli flag is white with a blue Star of David. The Makuya have the same colors but in the opposite order.

Isra-Reli
Israeli Star of David 2007 is the title of this work made by Tzfat Artist Reli Wasser, who sent me the following caption:
What makes up the Star of David?
No doubt that it is Jewish, but nowadays it is also Israeli…It is made of religion and secularism, army and death, separation and objection…the scar of the yellow star, sensitive stripes as background to all these feelings, even anger is legit.
