It's a thing in Palestine itself because the flag is banned in many places and it's the same colors. That one absurd dem tried to spin it as Palestinians being racist against black people/ a targeted thing against him.
Nah that's a tribute to the Hamas combat videos where they put a little red triangle over a target. It's pretty much exclusively leftists who have that because it's essentially saying it's cool to merc IDF soldiers
Fucking watermelon? What? Is it because they vaguely have the color scheme of the Palestinian flag??

I though 🔻 was the 'solidarity emoji'

Edit:
I can't think of many things that are cooler
I thought it was a reference to "political prisoner" aka "communist" in the nazi concentration camps
