Jewish flag

[u/aznas844]

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?

You're on a Jewish sub but you don't know that Judaism is an ethno-religion?

[u/noam99 → u/earlysunsetsagain]

I’m on a jewish sub but I guess not on a flag sub do all ethno-religions have flags?

[u/earlysunsetsagain → u/noam99]

No, but calling it a religion is just blatantly incorrect. When we've been discriminated against, our faith has never truly mattered. The flag of Israel is often used to represent Jews, but not all of us are associated with a genocidal colonialist state. I won't be using this flag, but some of us want to have a symbol for all Jews.
