Not having read it, the Watermelon is used as a symbol of Palestine in places where support would be "sactioned" in some ways. Its an actual dogwhistle, which makes this sound like a grift aimed at free speech types who don't know the implications.

Not that it SHOULD be sanctioned, but sympathy is naturally more present in a situation where you acted completely normal and were punished vs a situation where you wer intentionally antagonizing an authority and then cried foul when they retaliated.

Personally I've always been of the opinion that sufficiently annoying behavior should be grounds for retaliatory violence, so I'm more inclined to have sympathy for the guy who threw a punch after 3 hours of "I'm not touching you" then i am for the I'm not touching you guy.

That said, fuck jews.
