What Do Flags Say About a People?

The Israeli flag was inspired by the tallit (the prayer shawl with blue stripes worn by Jews during prayer) as a symbol. The blue star, the Shield of David, is a common symbol of the People of Israel from Biblical times. The flag was adopted officially on October 28, 1948.

The Hezbollah flag shows an AK-47 above the whole globe. Inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution, the party has tried to transform Lebanon's multi-religious state into an Iranian-style Islamic state.
