all my peers and I viewed said flag the same way we view the cross

That's seems like a you problem for considering a symbol of genocide (which the Israeli flag has always been) to be a symbol of your faith. The Israeli flag is a socially acceptable Swastika.

Can you blame us for latching onto a symbol in our youth, before we are old enough to form any political opinions or even understand the situation? There is a reason I don't fly an israeli flag, that's because I know what it means to you.

Then I'm not sure what there is to talk about. I think we agree on the important point here.
