Watermelon Necklace

The watermelon has become a powerful symbol of Palestinian freedom and solidarity. This symbol emerged as a creative response to restrictions on displaying the Palestinian flag.

The use of the watermelon as a symbol began after the Six-Day War in 1967, when public displays of the Palestinian flag were banned in Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinians started using watermelons, which were easily accessible and naturally bore the flag's colours, as a way to circumvent the ban.

The symbol has seen a resurgence in recent years, especially during times of heightened conflict. It is often used in protests, art, and social media to represent Palestinian solidarity without explicitly displaying the flag.

The watermelon symbol is a testament to the resilience and creativity of the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom and self-determination.
