Still, I wouldn't carry symbols like that if I were you, maybe you didn't suffer from them as much as Armenians, Syrians, Lebanese, Greeks Assyrians and others, but you should understand and be against an empire like that for their ugly crimes. They were not any better than Israel, but even uglier. And are no different than the "empire" we have today.
Why not wishing an end to these empires instead? wouldn't that be a better wish? or are you after revenge, and you want these wars to long forever?
