This symbol subtly represents the colors of the flag of Palestine. When the display of the flag was censored by the Israeli government, people resorted to creative ways of quietly protesting against the illegal occupation.
History
The watermelon as a Palestinian symbol first appeared after the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel took control of the West Bank and Gaza and annexed East Jerusalem. At that time, the Israeli government criminalized the public display of the Palestinian flag in Gaza and the West Bank. To circumvent the ban, the Palestinians started using watermelon because when cut, the fruit has the national colors of the Palestinian flag - red, black, white and green.
