      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.

      I have seen some instances of non-zionist Jews showing solidarity with Palestinians by wearing a Watermelon-colored yarmulke/kippah

          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

          I thought it was a reference to "political prisoner" aka "communist" in the nazi concentration camps
