Activism Jewish flag

Post image

A flag for all Jews over the world, without mandatory connection with (Medinat/State of) Israel. This flag stands for support and solidarity between all of us, regardless of language, place(s) of origin and residence, political views, religious conversion, practice, denomination or lack thereof, matrilineal descent, patrilineal descent or exclusively Jewish upbringing, visible or invisible Jewishness, ethnic and/or religious Jewishness, etc.

The design is meant to be simple, yet easily recognisable and historically meaningful. The white symbolises joy in Judaism and water, since water connect all of us across continents. The flag uses argaman (aka tyrian purple), white and a silhouette of the Magen David (aka star of David) for a distinctive simplified design that unites all of us through a common history.

I don't really understand what the purpose of having this is? do other religions have a flag?

How is this different from what israel is trying to accomplish with its flag?

this flag is just for marking your identity, showing pride, and other things, without any connection to israel and their actions
