The Magen David star is not a Jewish symbol; it is a symbol of the Davidian monarchy, which just so happens to be Jewish. In Kesav Ivri, the letter “Dalet” looks like the Greek Delta or triangle. and so, the Magen David consists of one “Dalet” superimposed on another, from the name “David” (no need for the joining letter “Vav” in the middle).
Jews don’t worship physical shapes, such as the Cursedian “X” or Mohammedan crescent!
So, why was the Magen David displayed in synagogues?
To remind ourselves of our own supremacy, even while suppressed in exile.
Today, we need to remember democracy is entirely illegitimate (on a national level). But a Davidic king or vassal is not the ultimate Jewish aspiration either; anarchy is. Anti-authoritarianism (or “libertarianism”) could also be described as “Responsibilitarianism”. Personal responsibility (including uncoerced groupings of individuals) to what end? Serving God.
That Jews had this symbol in synagogues illustrates once more the truth of an earlier article:
… This is another thing anti-Zionists get wrong. Even if/when Jews are not a national entity, avoiding confrontation, too, has limits, and each situation must be judged anew. They never judge anything religious anew, sadly.
