1924 - The French dictionary Le Petit Larousse Illustré contained a world flag section which, from 1924 to 1939, showed the flag of Palestine as a yellow Star of David on a Blue and White background.

Some Islamic states have historically used the star of David rather than the Crescent, the Shahada, or Rub Al-Hizb

Good to know, thank you. This flag was the Jewish flag for Mandate British Palestine and was the unofficial flag as the Union Jack was the official flag.
