The origins of the Hexagram Star stretch back to Egypt and disappear into the mist of history.
The Israelites adopted the six-pointed figure consisting of two interlaced equilateral triangles as the Star of David or Magen David, although some scholars claim that King Solomon favored the symbol after he deserted Yahweh for the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians.
HIs marriage to foreign women and idolatry turned his kinsmen away from him and a civil war haunted his kingdom to his death.
The Star of David was claimed by the Juhahites and became a Jewish icon during the First Millennium.
The Star of David graced the oldest surviving complete copy of the Masoretic text, the Leningrad Codex, dated 1008.
The Nazi forced the Jewish of Europe to wear a yellow Star of David.
They packed ghettoes with the Juden and massacred them by the millions.
The Magen David is worn proudly by modern Jews.
The Bigger the better I say.
"Never again."
