Israel Flag History Today

By Donald Garret


The birthplace of the Jewish people is the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael). There, a significant part of the nation's long history was enacted, of which the first thousand years are recorded in the Bible; there, its cultural, religious, and national identity was formed; and there, its physical presence has been maintained through the centuries, even after the majority was forced into exile. During the many years of dispersion, the Jewish people never severed nor forgot its bond with the Land. With the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Jewish independence, lost 2,000 years earlier, was renewed.

The history of Israel as detailed in the Bible encompasses around 1800 years. It proclaims a dynamic account of God's miracles, judgments, promises, and blessings. Israel begins as a unilateral promise to one man, Abraham. For more than 400 years, Abraham and his descendants rely on that promise, even during a significant period of slavery in Egypt.

Soon after the Exodus, Moses transmitted to the people of this newly emerging nation, the Torah, and the Ten Commandments (Exodus Chapter 20). After 40 years in the Sinai desert, Moses led them to the Land of Israel, that is cited in The Bible as the land promised by G-d to the descendants of the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The people of modern day Israel share the same language and culture shaped by the Jewish heritage and religion passed through generations starting with the founding father Abraham (ca. 1800 BCE). Thus, Jews have had a continuous presence in the land of Israel for the past 3,300 years.

The history of the flag of Israel has its genesis in the Zionist movement. The Zionist movement's goal was to seek the re-establishment of a home in Eretz -- Israel for the Jews. God promised this land to them. At that time, their land was part of the British Mandate on Palestine-Eretz Israel. On November 29, 1947, the British Mandate was officially portioned by the United Nations into Arab and Jewish states. This gave them irrevocable rights to establish their nation. The Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel took place on the 14th May 1948 at the Tel Aviv Museum.

On the 28th of October 1948, the Flag of Israel was accepted. Quickly, it comprised of a white foundation with two dim sky blue stripes over the entire length of the banner. Amidst the white foundation was the star of David - an image since quite a while ago connected with Jewish individuals however not of remarkably Jewish beginning. Along these lines, the Zionist banner was appropriately received as the banner of the State of Israel.

From most records, the Magen David was initially picked on the banner of the Jewish group of Prague in the medieval times for beautiful purposes. It was fundamentally only a star with no intending to it. There is an exclusive usage for the Israeli national banner's flagpole. The banner shaft is painted blue, around 33% of the route up the post, and white at the top segment.
