Original Note:
The watermelon symbol does not "erase the entire country of Israel" because it is a picture of a piece of fruit. The watermelon being used to show solidarity with Palestine has its origins in Israel's attempts to erase the Palestinian flag https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/27/style/watermelon-emoji-palestine.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/30/world/middleeast/palestinian-flag-attack-israel.html
