Star of David on new national identity cards

SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia — The appearance of a Star of David on new national identity cards has alarmed opponents of President Evo Morales, who recall how the symbol was used to brand Jews in Nazi Germany.



Tiny six-pointed stars within a tight circle are printed on the back side of some, but not all, recently issued picture IDs in the Santa Cruz region. The mark was present on three cards seen by The Washington Times.

It's a two page article but I encourage you to read all of it, on the second page of the article the cards have differernt words on them, one was"Chiquita" above the star. The term in Spanish usually refers to a small girl.

that is weird, i wonder what they are 'classifying' with these symbols and variations... the article didn't give clear theories

[topekaclark]

No because the proper authorites are not being clear as to why. If I was in that position I would want answers too.

strange, very strange.

[Southern Lady]

This is indeed very odd.

if they are going to mark them with a star of david, will they start marking Christians with cross, muslims with crescent/star.....etc.???? very interesting.

I'd be concerned also. :nod

The president of Bolivia has over the last couple of years become buddy, buddy with Hugo Chavez, who is a buddy of Ahmedinajad of Iran. We know how Amadinajad feels about Jews and the nation of Israel.

Since not all of these ID cards show the Star Of David... I'd be very concerned that they are trying to indentify who is of Jewish origin and who is not. This may not be the case, but it sure sounds suspicious. And... if that is what the're trying to do.. then why?

Bolivia is a poor country. Probably surplus WWII German cardstock.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

That begs the question: Are only Jews getting this 'surplus German cardstock" :twitch
