| If I remember correctly, the stripes are reminiscent of the black/blue
stripes on the "Talit Gadol", The star of David is, well a star of
David. WIth regard to the blue I don't know. An interesting issue is that
the star of David was not originally a jewish symbol but a magical/kaballistic
symbol not directly associated with the jews. A more appropriate symbol would
have been the "Menora" which is in fact part of the offical emblem of the
state of Israel.

| Origionally the flag was going to have 12 stars
representing the 12 tribes.
There were other differences, but I'd have to look them up
to tell you.

The "Original" flag proposed by Theodore Herzl in his book "Altneuland"
[Old-new-land] which started the new era p[olitical Zionism, i.e.: the
movement, the political movement to return to Zion, to Israel, had
eight stars, representing 8 working hours per day, which were part
of his utopia.

| Hi
Because of the history of the non religios zionist movement we have the
flag that started with 8 stars as Herzel applied .
The blue/white is a simbol of purity like the sky .
The question of the Menora was problematic both because practical
reasons and that the Menora has a religios conotation that in that
time was dificult to the zionist leaders .
The Flag was the flag of the zionist movement .
The Menora on the Israeli state , symbols the more religios conotation
it comes from the bible .
