    It’s best not to bring up the star of David at all, except in condemning the state of Israel for co-opting it for the purposes of Zionist propaganda.

      It’s a controversial subject but it is one we should all have on a regular basis seeing as the debate is actually costing the lives of thousands of people … but I wanted to ask …

      Besides the star of David, how would you symbolize the zionist movement.

        As far as I know, there are no commonly recognized symbols for Zionism aside from the star of David, and this does a great disservice to non-Zionist Jews and anti-Zionist Jews, to the point putting them in danger, because it conflates Judaism and Zionism. You might use the Israeli flag, but again this is fraught because of its insidious co-optation of the star of David.
