People being forced to wear Star of David again

A brand of a Star of David on a Palestinian teenager. Apparently the Israeli army are forcing Palestinians to wear these - why, I don't know. There are obvious historical parallels with the yellow Star of David that the Nazis forced Jews to wear. It speaks so clearly how Zionism as an ideology has nothing to do with being Jewish, and everything to do with racism, colonialism, and apparently some aspects of fascism.
