David was a renowned King of Israel and the star of David was emblazoned on his sheild. It is a national and historical symbol, not a religious one. Jews use it as an expression of who they are. In modern times it is also widely used organizationally; for example the Israeli equivalent of the red cross is the "Mogen Dovid Adom"--the red star of David. ___ However, under Nazi rule it was used as a badge of discrimination and no, they didn't like wearing what was meant to be a badge of shame! You won't find many individual Jews wearing it voluntarily.
