Australian police: Watermelons are ‘anti-Semitic’

Australian police stopped a man because his car had 'anti-Semitic' material on the window. When the driver queried what the anti-Semitic material was, the dejected-looking officer replied 'the small watermelon'. The incident is emblematic of how solidarity with Palestine is policed in countries like Australia, the US and Europe, where the individuals tasked with enforcing the law often have very little knowledge about Gaza, Palestine or Israel.
