I'm actually kind of shocked how many people are saying they're unaware. Not judging, just surprised people haven't been exposed to it with everything going on over the last three years. Are you familiar with the yellow ribbon in association with Israel?

The yellow ribbon that's literally used in dozens of countries worldwide, sometimes with more than a single meaning per country?

[–] AGM@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

I didn't ask about the yellow ribbon generally. I asked about it specifically in relation to Israel.

[–] Clearwater@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago

Not aware of that one, either.

Considering it's been a symbol for dozens of causes, I wouldn't be surprised if someone hasn't heard of one specific one

I'm not aware until this story either. For me, this is my only social media. I imagine a lot of people on lemmy aren't really plugged into a lot of places where you might learn that. I've also never heard of the yellow ribbon.
