Description

How did Israel end up with a Star of David set on two horizontal stripes as its national flag and what is the symbolism behind the state symbol?

In this video, I explore the history of Israel's flag as well as that of its state emblem - a menorah surrounded by olive branches - which were both agreed upon shortly after the declaration of the state.
