Common Palestinian symbols

[ID: The first tweet out of a thirteen tweet thread by the user, @carstairsbur with the displayed name,"Nia FREE 🍉". The tweet says,"Why do we use watermelons as a symbol for Palestine? Why do people wear that white cloth with black designs called the Keffiyah? Why are the olive trees a symbol of fertility, growth and strength?

A thread of Palestinian symbols you may have seen around!". END ID]
[ID: The second tweet out of a thirteen tweet thread by the user, @carstairsbur with the displayed name,"Nia FREE 🍉" 

The tweet says,"Keffiyah. The garment, originally used to protect individuals across the Middle East against the sun, gained popularity during the Arab Revolt against British colonial rule in the 1930s. Today, the keffiyeh has been adopted globally by activists to support the Palestinian cause.". Below the tweet is an image. END ID]
[ID: A keffiyeh, also spelled kuffiya, is a square-shaped cotton headdress with a distinctive chequered pattern worn in many parts of the Arab world.
The black-and-white variant, worn by Palestinian men and women, has come to symbolise the Palestinian struggle for self-determination, justice and freedom.

The olive-leaves pattern represents perseverance, strength and resilience.
The fishnet pattern represents Palestinian fishers and the people’s connection to the Mediterranean.
The bold pattern represents trade routes with neighbouring merchants of Palestine. END ID]

[ID: If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears"

The olive tree has deep historical and cultural roots in Palestine, and its branches have been associated with peace and prosperity for centuries.
The hardy trees can handle drought, subzero temperatures, frost and even fire. They are symbolic of Palestinian resilience against Israeli occupation and their connection to the land.

Olive cultivation plays a crucial role in the Palestinian economy through olive oil, table olives and soap production.

About 80,000 to 100,000 Palestinian families rely on the olive harvest for their income, which takes place every year between October and November. Traditionally, the harvest season is a time of festivities and joy, but tight Israeli restrictions and settler attacks overshadow it. END ID]

[ID: In 1948, Zionist military forces expelled at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands in what became known as the Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic). Those people took their keys with them, sure they would return.
Many Palestinians still hold onto the keys to their original homes as a symbol of their hope and determination to return one day. These keys have been passed down several generations and are kept as a symbol of Palestinians’ right to return – a principle enshrined in international law that grants individuals the right go back to their homes of origin.
During Israel’s latest offensive in Gaza, at least 1.5 million Palestinians have been driven out of their homes, double the number of those displaced during Nakba in 1948. For Palestinians, Nakba is not a discrete historical event. It is an ongoing process of displacement that has never stopped. END ID]

[ID: Handala is a cartoon character created by Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali that reflects his own childhood refugee experience and the ongoing plight of Palestinians displaced by the Nakba.
The first version of the cartoon appeared in a Kuwaiti newspaper in 1969 and was drawn facing the viewer. However, in 1973 following the October War, al-Ali started drawing Handala with his back turned to reflect how the world had itself turned its back on the Palestinians.

Handala is barefoot and wears ragged clothes like the refugee camp children al-Ali remembers when he was forced to leave his village as a 10-year-old boy.

Handala is named after the “handhal”, a bitter fruit that grows in the dry areas of Palestine. It grows back when cut and has deep roots.

In 1987, Naji al-Ali was assassinated in London. No one has been charged with his murder. END ID]

[ID: The watermelon is perhaps the most iconic fruit to represent Palestine. Grown from Jenin to Gaza, the fruit shares the same colours as the Palestinian flag – red, green, white and black – so it is used to protest against Israel’s suppression of Palestinian flags and identity.
Following the 1967 war, when Israel seized control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and annexed East Jerusalem, the government banned the Palestinian flag in the occupied territory.

Although the flag has not always been banned by law, the watermelon caught on as a symbol of resistance. It appears in art, shirts, graffiti, posters and the ubiquitous watermelon emoji on social media. END ID]
[ID: The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth tweets out of a thirteen tweet thread by the user, @carstairsbur with the displayed name,"Nia FREE 🍉"

Although the flag has not always been banned by law, the watermelon caught on as a symbol of resistance."

The twelfth tweet says,"It appears in art, shirts, graffiti, posters and the ubiquitous watermelon emoji on social media."
