Watermelon ornament, handmade in California by ceramicist and Justice Studies professor Grace Howard. Watermelons as a symbol of Palestinian resistance to occupation dates back to 1967, when Israel seized control of Gaza and the West Bank and criminalized displays of the Palestinian flag. Since then, activists and artists have used the watermelon, which carries the colors of the flag, to evade censorship. The watermelon has been cultivated in the region for millennia.
