The watermelon is perhaps the most iconic fruit to represent Palestine. Grown across Palestine, from Jenin to Gaza, the fruit shares the same colours as the Palestinian flag – red, green, white and black.
Following the 1967 war, when Israel seized control of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and annexed East Jerusalem, the government banned the Palestinian flag in the occupied territory – now the image of a watermelon is used to protest against Israel’s suppression of Palestinian flags and identity.
The watermelon has, in the last few decades, caught on as a symbol of resistance & solidarity. This heavyweight 300 GSM fleece lined hoodie is made from 50% cotton and 50% polyester, and with ribbed cuffs, it's the perfect item to wear to solidarity protests.
