Ok, I do not get the watermelon thing.

Explanations would be welcome.

The addition of the watermelon wasn't some folksy, farm-y touch, it was an obvious wink and a nod to the "from the river to the sea" crowd, who use the watermelon emoji to show their solidarity with Hamas. Nothing says "Let's celebrate the birth of the Christ child" like an anti-Jewish smear on display to the public.

Another use of the watermelon:

A reference to the Greenies - green on the outside, red on the inside.

I call college towns "Watermelonville".

Instead of openly flying a palistinian (sp) flag, the watermelon started being used because it has the same colors as the ugly flag. That’s what I read yesterday...
