    in order to be a realist, you must believe in miracles" happy 66th to 50% of the Israeli population to the other 50% that mourn , don't observe or are indifferent I guess F- U.......A great story of how the  Magen David Blue and white Became the official flag of the State. It was the Symbol of the Jews In the Diaspora and in the Yishuv, but The Founders wanted an Official Flag and reached out to the public to submit ideas.

Until it was decided to Just keep the Same flag and that's the story........
