I agree. My partner stopped wearing her star of david necklace. It took about a year post-oct 7th, but the decision was made after someone made a comment saying she was "so brave to wear that at a time like this". She decided to take it off due to the only comment she's ever received on that necklace implied that she was supportive of "israel".
My Palestinian parents also have a strong association of the star of david to israel, and how could they not? The flag is waved everywhere there, if someone beats you while waving the flag, burns your land and kills your livestock, I think it's fair to associate the symbol on that flag as a hate symbol. In their minds, the star of david is a symbol of ethnic supremacy.
