Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands (Holland), and Great Britain are considered some of the least anti-Semitic nations in the world. Because of this, they are probably the safest countries in Europe for a Jew (or non-Jew) to wear a Star of David necklace in public. In general though, it would really depend upon which local areas within each European nation one plans to visit. Why? Because the most dangerous areas would be where a large percentage of Muslim immigrants reside. This is true throughout most of continental Europe. So if a traveler is careful enough to avoid the various different urban neighborhoods and regional districts where there is a high percentage of Muslims, a Jewish (or non-Jewish) tourist could probably travel around wearing a Star of David with little to no risk at all. Since the rural areas of Europe are relatively free of Muslim immigrants, they would also be the least dangerous places for a Jew to wear the Star of David openly in public.
Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is once again on the rise in Europe after experiencing historical lows in the decades following World War II. Indeed, the many nations of Europe were, in fact, put to shame about their centuries of Jew-hating after the gruesome details of the Nazi Holocaust became available to the public. For many years the European people made a special effort to educate the younger generations about the undeniably evil atrocities committed by Nazi Germany against the Jewish people. Tragically, the youth of Europe see World War II as the distant past that has nothing to do with them. In addition, the virulent hatred of Jews that many Muslim immigrants have brought with them to Europe rubs off on those citizens that would normally be quite tolerant towards the Jews.
So is it safe enough in Europe for a person to wear a Star of David around their neck? Probably not in Muslim neighborhoods, and when it comes to places without any Muslims, it is still not near as safe as it used to be.

What is the history of the Star of David?
1) The true origin of the Star of David, more properly called "the Shield of David" is unknown, though there are many legends. 2) In all honesty, the Star of David is little more than a simple hexagram made from 2 equilateral triangles of the same size yet pointed in opposite directions. It is most probable that hundreds, if not thousands,, of different people were merrily decorating their homes and possessions with this very symbol long before David and the 12 tribes of Israel ever existed. Because of this, no one will ever know for sure which prehistoric human being 'created' this naturally occurring geometric figure (snowflakes, white lilies, and pomegranates) but it most certainly was NOT King David. So, the legends surrounding the so-called 'Star of David' have basically nothing to do with the identity of who invented this six-pointed hexagram. It is assumed that many different groups of people scattered throughout the world were already familiar with the symbol long before a young King David chose it to be his personal insignia (and then later as his royal family Coat of Arms). With all this in mind, it would be safe to say that no one knows who 'created' the basic form of the hexagram and its distant origins will always remain shrouded in mystery. But when it comes to the fairly specific history of just one specific hexagram known as the the 'Star of David', one may state with confidence that it was none other than King David himself, which was then carried on by his son Solomon (Seal of Solomon) and so forth.

Who is torturing ziva on ncis's season finale?
At the moment we don't know. What we do know is that her Father told her to go under cover to finish what Michael was doing. The men torturing her were not Somali though. There is speculation that the scarves they were wearing were meant to be a BIG hint, because the pattern on them is Palestinian, however Palestine has not yet come up in the current investigation they're doing. If they were Palestinian, it would also explain why he looked at Ziva's star of David necklace with disgust, because Palestine is a generally Muslim country and the star of David is Jewish I think it's pretty safe to presume they are a terrorist organisation/cell
