Great message, but don't use the star of David as that implies Jews in general. Use the Israeli flag specifically.

Not the artist, and I don't disagree with you. But the flag prominently features the Star of David, so I can see why the artist would have used it.

Arguably, the Israeli government is a major reason for growing antisemitism with how hard they're working to blur the line between the government and ethnicity. A simpler person won't draw the distinction.

Definitely, but they used the full nazi flag for the nazis, but then only the Star of David for the Israelis instead of the full flag. That is weird and can lead to wrong assumptions.

Absolutely, no argument there
