Watermelon as a Palestinian symbol
The watermelon (Levantine Arabic: بطيخ, romanized: baṭṭīkh) has been used as a pro-Palestinian symbol in protests and works of art, representing the struggle against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.[1][2][3] It started being used as such in response to Israeli suppression of the display of the Palestinian flag, as the watermelon has the same colors as the flag: red, green, white, and black.
