“Do you want some news? Take a look at how nice the neighborhood is leaving us,” my friend told me as soon as we met the kids in the park in the afternoon, pointing their fingers at some symbols. The weekend is the 21st Medieval Fair in the Old Town, where the workers have begun to decorate the streets, and the street next to the park is the “Jewish quarter” on the map of the fair. Dial your fingers in the direction, banners of the photo that opens the news: Star of David in different formats, accompanied by the pigeon of peace, with olive in the mouth. All of them in the txuri-urdin, that is, in the colors of the national flag of Israel. Israel and peace hand in hand to the unconscious, with one look, while in the Arab post next to you you take a good durum. Here's the weekend plan.

And you might think, as I've done, well, David's star is the symbol that the Zionists have done, all right, but it's had many more uses and meanings throughout history. Just in case, I went online and took this article from the Googlek Zionist portal israeleconomia.com, as naive as the symbols they hung, taken from the blog of the researchers of the National Library of Israel. In the past, the Star of David was “a popular symbol in pagan traditions, as well as a decorative element in the churches of the 1st century and in Muslim culture,” says the author of Sharon Cohen. But today, “David’s star is attached to the flag and is therefore considered an undisputed symbol of the State of Israel, whatever its origin.” Rounding: “The power of a symbol, after all, lies in the meaning we give it.”

What do the authors mean to these banderoles? What, so that he can repeat it, when he stands next to the pigeon of peace and the colors of the national flag of Israel? David's star and the other Jewish symbols can make sense on Jewish Street in the Medieval Market, but not pigeons, not white and blue. Given this meaning, what will hundreds of neighbours of Arab origin feel? What a non-Zionist Jew in the face of this way of linking Jewish with Zionism? What sensible person to see Zionism linked to peace in the midst of the genocide in Gaza and the massacre in Lebanon? Me, anger! And awe (innocent me), despair and fear ...

In the morning, as I was looking at the flags to take pictures for this article, I was approached by an adult. “See? It is a disgrace! How can it be?” He was a neighbor of the street, and he explained to me that as I left, I had seen flags of convenience and, outraged, he went to the City Hall door and settled there, moaning. “They’ve seen me restless, they’ve taken the data and told me they’ll call me.” I had just hit her cell phone. The Municipal Police Patrol has explained to me that they are already coming. “They won’t listen to me, but unless they hear us.” I called for his attitude to the 010 of the City Hall when I come home. It's not illegal, it's not the flag of Israel, the flag of the dove -- it seemed to me that the other side of the phone understood my outrage. He will transfer his complaint to the Department of Economic Promotion. The neighbor resonated with me. “They won’t listen to me, but unless they hear us.”

They're not going to listen to us -- if we don't listen to our voice as many times as necessary and with enough height. In the 010, in the mobilizations of October 5, in the choice of what we consume, denouncing the laundering of the Zionism of the Medieval Fair, wherever it may be. In these times when the words to describe the magnitude of the horror seem exhausted, let us not be accomplices.
