    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.

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

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