Do you know why the watermelon is a symbol of Palestinian resistance? After the six-day war in 1967, the Israeli government criminalised public displays of the Palestinian flag. In true Palestinian fashion, a new form of resistance emerged. Palestinians used images of watermelons to proudly (and legally!) wave the colours of their flag. In the digital age, the watermelon emoji has similarly been used to circumvent censorship of Palestinian truths.
Below the Palestine-shaped watermelon on this tee, is the Arabic word for Palestine, Falasteen. This shirt is a minimalist design whilst still making a bold statement that you are on the right side of history.
