Star of David necklace VS Cross necklace

When I was like 5 or something, my Israeli Jewish dad once got me a Star of David necklace. I didn’t know what it meant because I haven’t had a huge concept of religions so I thought it was just a design and nothing else. I never wore the necklace because I didn’t like it, I always wore my cross necklace because my mom got it for me and it was pretty.

One day with my dad, he asked why I never wore the necklace he got me and why I always wore a cross. I think I said something along the lines of “I like it better”. He got upset with me and said that I needed to be more proud of my Jewish roots. And I was just trying to figure out why it was such a big deal.
