Put a Bulldozer in the Middle of the Star

Hey Keenan,

Nice post. I have long thought that the Israeli flag should have the profile of a bulldozer in the middle of the star. The bulldozer is one of the prime symbols and tools of Israeli terrorism and should definitely represent the country as a whole on its flag. I am actually working on a bulldozer profile in Adobe Illustrator for just such a design. I'll send it to you.

The symbol of the swastika (a Sanskrit word meaning "auspicious marking," su + astika) as a solar cycle symbol goes back to Sumeria in 3rd millenium BCE Mesopotamia. I once saw it on some pottery from that culture.

BTW, I have lots of friends in Santa Cruz as I grew up in the Bay Area.
