I don't think the "Satantic star" (Which I assume is some sort of magical or pre-christian symbol christians started using to represent evil) has anything to do with the jewish star, which is once again, not a jewish symbol. It is a symbol assigned to Jews by christians which you can see in the fact that historically Jews were often forced to wear specific clothes or symbols to signify their second class status in christian medieval societies.

Thats an interesting thought. So maybe Jews today use six pointed star because embracing their second class status became part of their culture. That is also the reason why Jews support homosexuality despite Torah teaching against it. And that is also why Jews vote Democrat despite the fact that Republicans are more supportive of Israel. Their identity as "second class in the eyes of Christians" surpasses their loyalty to Torah or the state of Israel.

With love for a fellow follower of Christ and with humility for my own limited knowledge; I would humply respond that the first statement is incorrect. I don't think there's much proof Jewish people have identified with "second class citizenship." In fact much of the history of modern Jews is advocating for the restoration of equal status in societies where another religion is the dominant one. The second statement on Jews and rejecting the torah sound like political projection. Large portions of Orthodox Jews reject legitimization of homosexuality. The Zionism comment is too complex to address other than I believe that Zionism is an inappropriate position for a Christian to take for strong theological and communal reasons and Jews of the America owe no loyalty to Israel and a great deal of loyalty to the United States. But as I said, thats more politics than theology of history...
