      I’ve been following it for years, and I’ve never once seen this mentioned.

        I seriously do not believe you. You literally can’t go to an event in support of Palestine without seeing these; I haven’t once this entire time. Your “following” seems to just be a passing awareness.

          I’ve been personally against what Israel has been doing with Palestine since long before Oct 7th. I don’t personally know anyone that’s Palestinian or even Jewish for that matter, living in a fairly rural area. It’s possible I do have some acquaintances through professional services but simply don’t know their heritage. Whatever the case I never knew anything about the “watermelon” thing until today. TIL

            You’ve been “personally against” it but like, haven’t seen any activist footage or social media posts ever? Where watermelons are plastered everywhere? Sorry dude, this is a sign for you that you should be paying more attention.

                I’m often alone when I criticize Canadians to Canadians, they’re not a terribly self-reflective or accountable bunch.

              Yeah bro. Their support is totally useless if they don’t know the secret symbols. Like how committed are they, right? /s

                  I’m sorry you were joking now? Cause it sure didn’t come across that way in the multiple posts where you berated this person for supporting ostensibly the same cause.

                  Also learn to use the spacebar.

          You can believe me or not. But based on the many comments and downvotes, that speaks volumes.

      Oh, I dunno, tuning out a tribal conflict that has been going on for 70 years and will never be resolved?
