USA Israel Relations Tattoo

From the comments at his Flickr page: "altefeigele" says:

The Tat suggests to me that the American Eagle is grabbing the Star of David in its talons and is prepared to fly with it somewhere, probably to the Eagle's nest to feed its chicks.

Alan Miller answers:

The guy is American and told me he got the tattoo soon after September 11th, 2001. It could be Pres. Bush getting his hands on Israel after his visit. Or the Israeli police getting their talons in Prime Minister Olmert. But I'll go with the guy's explanation.

Currently this work is taking part in the Yellow Holocaust Star Exhibit at Yigal Alon House, Safed, which started on 30-4-2008. Curator: Reli Wasser.

Size: 50/70 cm

Technique: oil on canvas

Title: The Tree of Life

Artist’s Caption: The tree resembles the Jewish people. It is a big tree with deep roots. It continues to live and to grow even though all along history there were (and still are) attempts to remove it and to cut its branches.
Orly says that the yellow badge is a symbol of spiritual heroism, which is quite different from the military heroism.
