Without the Star of David the whole point could have been lost. The designer of this sticker says: we (Israelis, represented by our national emblem) shall overcome!

It seems that Yelena Potkov is troubled because American influence is so dominant in Israel that it is hard to find what is originally Israeli. The proportions are more or less as shown on this suggestion: four parts American ONE part (represented by the Star of David) Israeli.

The Arab crescent along with the Jewish Star of David hint at the possibility of coexistence on the other hand the whole composition looks like an lunar eclipse which suggests that something is very wrong in the way Israel is living.

Natali Yaacobi's suggestion is, IMHO, to stop being so damn sure and to start asking if we're going in the right direction.

The Star of David stands right even if you turn it upside down, but the Hebrew letters of the word Israel look like in a mirror and are written from left to right. This may mean two things:
a. that we live in a state that behaves wrong.
b. that we are influenced from western cultures.

A Story Told In Parts

First there was the Hebrew slogan (long live Israel= Am Israel Hai)
Then the artist added the word "beseret" (in a movie)
and now he added the word Ra (bad). Maybe he didn't want to repeat himself ( too boring). Anyhow now we have the Star of David in blue color which says in lines what the blue letters of the slogan say in words- and then we have in black an addition that contradicts the slogan :if we live in a bad movie life is not worth.
