I’ve been worried about this for a while, how long is it until the Star of David is viewed more as a hate symbol than a religious one?
I think the only form I’ve seen it in in the last year that wasn’t being used by people committing genocide is a friend with a necklace, and I feel like after a while the genocidal use really drowns out the necklaces.
I’ve seen the Star of David spray painted on too many bombed out homes and literally carved into human beings in a way indistinguishable from the swastika.
This article could’ve been written in 1935, “German tourists dismantle hillside Star of David, use stones to create Swastika” it’s just Jewish supremacists now instead of German supremacists.
I the comparison to the swastika is far more apt, it was and remains a religious symbol in many parts of the world, it's just that in the west a swastika is now permanently associated with hatred and genocide. You see media getting altered for a western release because the prominence of a swastika because a general audience won't see the religious symbol, but the symbol of a genocide. It's an inevitability at this rate.
