This blog (by Zeev Barkan) is dedicated to the Star of David, its history, its various meanings and usages in different cultures. It includes thousands of pictures of Star of David, six-pointed stars, hexagrams, Solomon's Seals, Magen Davids and yellow badges,and served as a resource for three books and four art exhibitions.
I got this photo from Menachem, owner of an Israeli bookstore called Simple Books- Josef-inheritance.

David Wallersteiner, Menachem’s father grandfather, drew it in 1935 in Palestine for Sabbath Nachamu, which is the Sabbath after the 9th of Av.

The Star of David here looks more religious than national.
