>> Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution [BfV] offers insights into the 'symbolism of the cut watermelon' and other signs of extremism 🤣
>> “The watermelon, alluding to the colours of the Palestinian flag, is a symbol of solidarity with Palestine. Here, the outline of the entire state of Israel is depicted in the colours of the Palestinian flag (as a sliced #watermelon), thereby denying Israel's right to exist,” the BfV says. 🤣
>> #Handala, the 10-year-old refugee boy was created in 1969 by cartoonist Naji Al-Ali as a means of expressing the Palestinian experience, is also one of the "Symbols and identifying marks" of the network mapped out by the #BfV. 🤣
