I wonder which flag inspired him. It could be the Greek (the colors and the square canton) or the United States (13 stripes). However the canton is 6.5 stripes high instead of 5 (Greece) or 7 (USA).

This time 7 blue stripes instead of seven stars. The use of a red Magen David is a little odd since it is and was the symbol of medical units (Magen David Adom) even during the Mandate era.

Dov Gutterman, 5 March 1999

I made the Magen David in a circle, but actually the original picture shows a slightly wider one. Aren't most Magen David stars made of equilateral triangles?
