I like the usage of two out of six triangles of the Star of David as the beak of a swan while its chest is made of the Muslim Crescent. very sofisticated and I'm not sure you saw it without this caption...

Anchor

The Happy Holidays 1949 stamp has the Israeli air force emblem on it, which is based on the Star of David but has a life of its own and I wouldn't have brought it here unless the cool cancel which has a drawing of an anchor in the center of the Star of David and was produced on board the ship Kedma in 1949. Designed by Gabriel and Maxim Shamir.

David Ganz Stamp

Stamps collector
Roni Kagan from Collect Forum website sent me this photo of an envelope with a Czechoslovakian stamp depicting Jewish

scientist David Ganz (1541-1613) tombstone in Prague which was the first Jewish tombstone, which carried on it the Star of David symbol; apparently because the title of Gans’ astronomy book was Magen David.

On the cancel we see a 'Swedish Hat' inside the Star of David - why?

In the mid 1600 Swedish forces attacked Prague and the Jews helped to defend the city for the emperor Emperor Ferdinand II.  

First International Chess Competition

In the Israel philatelic Federation website there an interesting catalog of cancels. Here's one of the cancels that appear there- it was issued in 1958 for the first international chess competition in Israel and it shows a chess board and a Star of David on it.
