When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. ~Theodore Dalrymple
Even if you are not Jewish, I think that you will find this amazing about the Jewish Star, which is alo referred to as a Magen David.
All twenty-four letters of the Hebrew Alphabet are found in a Magen David. There is no such thing in any other language.

This is so interesting! I had no idea....
Yes...it is amazing!
I'm not surprised. The Hebrew language is a totally unique language.
Yes, I think it is most interesting, too.
They say that the English language is the most difficult of all to learn, but I think Hebrew would be, too.
A very kind reader has pointed out a correction that should be made concerning the Hebrew Alphabet.
He said there are only 22 letters, and what is called the 5 Final letters which are part of the 22, but used at the end of a word, and also contain numerical value all their own.
The additional information makes it even more fascinating!
Actually, that's correct. There are 22 base letters, and 5 final forms. What's interesting about this is that it includes the twenty-two base letters and only two of the final forms, the final mem and the final nun. The final fay, final tzadee, and final chaf are not including. I wonder why?
