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.
Photo of green Stars of David on a cardboard gun is courtesy of Andre Oboler who published it on a forum called Zionism On The Web and wrote there on Mar 28, 2006 thatGUPS (the General Union of Palestinian Students) have set up a mock wall behind their stall. In front of it they distribute literature as a black and white set of images shine onto a sheet. Out of spare cardboard they create machine guns, decorated with stars of David and the words “Born to Kill”. They aim these at passing students, apparently targeting those who look “obviously Jewish”… They explained that they were "setting up a checkpoint" and were "pointing the guns at people just like Israeli soldiers do".

Showing (many European cards used this motif) how Jewish Innkeepers make Gentiles drunk!
