This is false. The watermelon as a symbol emerged after Israel banned the Palestinian flag following the 6-Day War of 1967. It became a symbol for Palestinian resistance because it has the same colors as the Palestinian flag. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_(Palestinian_symbol) https://time.com/6326312/watermelon-palestinian-symbol-solidarity/
