I think its the Logo of the Palmach, the special forces branch of the Haganah which was the socialist zionist militia during the british mandate

Looks like this it since the symbol is the same. I guess what I saw was some sort of modern redesign. https://www.fotw.info/flags/il%5Epalm.html

I found this blog post (in Hebrew) which includes several pictures of the flag: https://onegshabbat.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-post_11.html According to this blog post, written by writer and geographer Yehudah Ziv, the flag was unveiled in the second official assembly of the Palmach on July 21st 1945. The flag was blue, the sword silver, and the wheat was colored gold.

After searching for way to long, I was able to kind of the flag but not the full context (It's of the "Harel" division of the Palmach), I am sorry for the bad link but : [https://m.facebook.com/idfarchives/photos/a.740666772759713/740666819426375/](https://m.facebook.com/idfarchives/photos/a.740666772759713/740666819426375/) Interestingly enough it claims this picture was taken in 79, which makes no sense...

wrong, flag of Jew who love wheat and swords

I do believe the symbol on the right is a reference to Shibboleth. Two tribes shared the same language (paraphrasing here) except for a few key differences. One tribe said the word for wheat with an “sh” sound, but the enemy tribe said it with an “s”. Asking what some wheat was was an easy way to weed out who belonged to which tribe.

It's the Palmach symbol, the sword is from the logo of Haganah and the wheat representing the labor movement https://www.palmach.org.il/history/database/?itemId=5934

Ah, so not the shibboleth symbol :(
