Star of David in the Shape of a Ship

A large Star of David appears on the recently issued Independence Posters postage stamp. From: 41st Independence Day, 1989, poster designed by Assaf Berg.

Anti-Semitism: Turned Into a Swastika

From the Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and racism at Tel Aviv University, Mexico 2006 Report, we learn about a cartoon in Ovaciones from 13 Aug depicting a missile with a Star of David about to hit a fleeing Lebanese woman and child. La Jornada from 26 July published a cartoon of a Star of David turning into a swastika.

Did Jennie Gottschalk Influence The Israeli Postage Service?

Dobush from Kfar Aza sent me this cancellation, with the Hebrew words of our national hymn Hatikvah (the Hope) arranged in the shape of the Star of David. It appeared yesterday and it is very similar to a stamp by Jennie Gottschalk, which I showed to the Israeli Postal Authorities about half a year ago. Which proves that good ideas never get lost!

Did I Influence The Israeli Postage Service?

Dobush from Kfar Aza sent me this Hatikvah (the Hope) postage Stamp, which was issued yesterday in Israel. About half a year ago Jennie Gottschalk and me suggested to the Israeli Postal Authorities a stamp in the shape of the Star of David (with the words of our national hymn in micrographic letters in the shape of balloons) for next Independence Day. They refused our suggestion, but they made the idea come true without us, and I'm happy to see my dream materializing.

A source of inspiration

It is such a great honor to be a source of inspiration for an artist!
I just got three days ago a present from Dr. Martin Kieselstein, who was so pleased from his participation in the Tel Aviv Star of David Album Exhibit that he made me this work which is showing a Yellow Star rising from the blood of the victims
I took the photo when the work was placed on the couch at his home. Now it is situated on a shelf above my head when I'm working.
Today I got a work from Jennifer Gottschalk (showing a Yellow Rose) whose work “yellow Star” will be presented in a few days for a whole month in the Holocaust Yellow Badge Art Exhibit in Zephath.
