Can someone explain the watermelon in the banner?
Use of the Palestinian flag is censored and targeted many places, so people replace it with a watermelon with the same color scheme to still show support but with a symbol that they can't really censor.
Clever yet sad that it has to be that way
Yes very sad. It is terrifying that this is also somewhat necessary in countries where they tout "free speech" as a core value.
