The modern state of Israel has nothing to do with it.
The six-pointed star is a very ancient occult symbol going back at
least to Ancient Egyptian times.

However, in the Middle Ages it became the symbol of Judaism.
"The Jewish community of Prague was the first to use the Star of David
as its official symbol, and from the 17th century on the six-pointed
star became the official seal of many Jewish communities and a general
sign of Judaism, though it has no biblical or Talmudic authority. The
star was almost universally adopted by Jews in the 19th-century as a
striking and simple emblem of Judaism in imitation of the cross of
Christianity."
