    It’s a sign used by Hamas to mark military targets; some online use it as an expression of solidarity with Hamas.

      Of fuck really. I thought it was some sort of socialist symbol. That’s awful.

        i don’t know the modern discourse. i thought it’s (pointing down) the symbol the nazis used to mark political prisoners (i. e. usually communists) in concentration camps, like the pink triangle for who they deemed to be “homosexuals”.
