Nimtza-bi agreed with Sharett that the Zionist flag should be adopted by the State of Israel but also - that this was not possible. Nimtza-bi was well versed in the rules of heraldry, especially of the British Empire. The flags of some members of the British Commonwealth incorporated the Union Jack either in the corner, or the center. He created many variations on the Zionist flag.

The Provisional Council of State did not accept any of his proposals, nor those submitted by the public at large. At the tenth meeting of the Provisional Council of State, Moshe Sharett submitted another proposal, that of graphic artist Oteh Walisch.

In Walisch's design, the flag is divided crosswise into three equal sections: blue stripes at top and bottom, with a single row of seven gold stars emblazoned on the white section in the middle. This division differs from that of the Zionist flag, which had five stripes - two blue and three white. The relative widths are different, too.

Walisch's design represents a deliberate departure from the Zionist flag. As noted, the blue stripes on the latter were taken from the prayer shawl. When Walisch moved them to the upper and lower edges of the banner and made them wider, the design was no longer an obvious reminder of the tallit. The disappearance of the blue stripes gives his proposal a more "secular" character.

In the meantime, Moshe Sharett decided to inquire into Diaspora Jewry's thoughts about the flag of the State of Israel. On July 20, , he sent cables to Dr. Rabbi Silver replied that "we would prefer to leave the Zionist flag as the national flag of Israel, with a minimum of changes. We feel that the fear of complications as a result of use of the flag at Zionist gatherings overseas has been somewhat exaggerated. After the fears of "dual loyalty" had been alleviated, the Provisional Council of State voted unanimously on October 28, to adopt the Zionist flag as that of the State of Israel.

The resolution came into effect two weeks later, after publication in the Official Gazette. The Tablets of the Law, the Lion of Judah, and Herzl's "Seven Stars," advanced as possible replacements for the Star of David during the discussions about the flag, were incorporated in other official emblems: the Lion of Judah is the emblem of the Municipality of Jerusalem; Herzl's seven stars are prominently featured in the emblems of Tel Aviv and Herzliya ; and the Tablets of the Law appear on the emblem of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.

The Star of David is an outstanding example of the variable significance of symbols. The power of the message they convey stems less from the original use in history. At first the Star of David had no religious, political, or social connotations whatsoever.

It gained a very powerful connotation precisely as a result of its terrible abuse by the Nazis. As I already noted, this flag is strongly suspected as an "urban legend".

Moreover, they show the flag with gold Magen David and inscription while the description in sources published years after claim that only the inscription was gold. Also, the flag that is shown at the municipal website, show white inscription and blue Magen david. Furthermore, why they choose Nes Ziyyona flag and not Rishon LeZiyyon Flag which was hoisted six years before it ? The third stamp is dedicated to Herzl flag - Herzl flag was a proposal that was never materialized. Such a flag, as far as we know, existed only on Herzl's diary and was never produced.

The stamp show a proposal that never existed as flag The flag that did exist First Zionist Congress flag of appear at the background. The forth stamp show the national flag. Stamp at No argument here too. Dov Gutterman , 23 July Zionist flags were a problem for the British authorities. If they were allowed, the Palestinian Arabs protested, and if they were not allowed, the Jews protested.

In a Greek company registered in London , operating a ship registered in Haifa , asked if it could fly a Zionist flag. The Board of Trade wrote that it could not be flown as an ensign, but wondered if it might be allowed at the masthead, as a House Flag. It was decided that a House Flag was a private flag, a Political Party could not be private, and therefore its flag could not be a House Flag. In the High Commissioner of Palestine wrote to the Colonial Office asking for powers to control the flying of flags likely to incite disturbances.

This referred mainly to Zionist flags on immigrant ships, and he wanted to be able to control flags flown in the territorial waters of Palestine. The Foreign Office view was that a state was entitled to prohibit the flying of flags to which it took objection, providing that the flags in question were not ones that a ship would fly under ordinary custom. It thought that this right existed only in national waters, such as harbours, and did not extend to territorial waters 3 mile limit.

The result was Amendment No 2 Ordinance to Ports Ordinance , which prohibited flags other than; own national flag, signal flags, or any official naval or diplomatic flag. David Prothero , 17 August
