Prov 20:1 Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
There's a djinn in a bottle at the top of the label for the wine bottle, they can't be more obvious than that, right?

this is incorrect...
nobody really knows what the 'star of chiun' looked like...because we find no pictures or descriptions of it in ancient sources...so there is no basis for equating it with the six pointed 'star of david'... in fact it is very possible that the 'star of chiun' was not a symbol at all...but actually the planet saturn itself...called kayawanu by the babylonians...
the six pointed 'star of david' actually originated as one of many decorative motifs used by many ancient peoples...including other types of 'star' designs such as five and eight pointed stars... for example the carpet page of the leningrad codex of the hebrew masoretic text of the bible is decorated with -both- a six pointed star and an eight pointed star...
finally although solomon was an idolater for part of his life...there is no real evidence that he was ever involved in the occult...scripture does not suggest any such thing...and all the sources that make that claim are themselves occultic and therefore untrustworthy...the first such document to accuse solomon of involvement in the occult is a gnostic apocalyptic text...

Possibly, but I'd hazard a guess it was some sort of star shape.
I'm not really sure there is a difference between "the occult" and idolatry, when the idols are demons. Isn't that where those in "the occult" get their "special powers"?
1 Kings 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
For me, worship of demons is just as much occult as any other such abominable practice, and the bible makes it clear Solomon idolised demons/false gods. I don't see how you can say there is a difference.

1 Kings 11:8 suggests to me that Solomon's motive wasn't about seeking power. It was an abomination to the LORD no matter what the motive was.
1 Kings 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father. 7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

In 1905 Australia did exist and they would dig people up from a two year old grave and put them on display in a museum.
Do you think "the Local Jews" don't know about your history?
Biography - Trugernanner (Truganini) - Australian Dictionary of Biography
(Truganini) Trugernanner (1812?-1876), Tasmanian Aboriginal, was born in Van Diemen's Land on the western side of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, in the territory of the south-east tribe.
... By 1869 she and William Lanney were the only full bloods alive. The mutilation of Lanney's body after his death in March led Trugernanner to express concern; she told Rev. H. D. Atkinson, 'I know that when I die the Museum wants my body'.
In 1874 she moved to Hobart Town with her guardians, the Dandridge family, and died in Mrs Dandridge's house in Macquarie Street on 8 May 1876, aged 64. She was buried at the old female penitentiary at the Cascades at Midnight on 10 May. Her body was exhumed in December 1878 by the Royal Society of Tasmania, authorized by the government to take possession of her skeleton on condition that it be not exposed to public view but 'decently deposited in a secure resting place accessible by special permission to scientific men for scientific purposes'. But it was placed in the Tasmanian Museum where it was on public display in 1904-47.

If any make Israel, the Talmud or the Jews as a reference point to criticize or speak evil of, that is idolatry. It is idolatry because of the images and imaginations of the heart within that frame of reference. Many do not believe that Christ is coming back for his church prior to God's dealing with Israel during the tribulation because of imaginations within their frame of reference that have developed into strongholds in their faith. They have lusted after knowledge of the truth through a wounded spirit and have been subverted in their thinking and comprehension of what the scriptures teach. They are vehemently opposed to anyone who contradicts their frame of reference and immediately labels it heretical. They have made their frame of reference an idol that they worship and submit to. This form of idolatry makes them defensive, critical and cruel to others by dominating and bullying others to their frame of reference. The Spirit of God is not involved in this activity, it does not edify other believers in the church nor does it magnify Christ in the will of God. They are being held captive by this stronghold and they wrestle with it all the time. We are not to be caught up in this frame of reference that only leads to flesh and blood activity. To flee idolatry means to separate ourselves from it by going in the opposite direction so that we do not get held captive by our carnal responses to it. To pull down this stronghold we submerse ourselves in the truth that we have been taught and continually build up ourselves and others always looking unto the author and finisher of our faith.
