Can someone explain the watermelon in the banner?

Use of the Palestinian flag is censored and targeted, so people replace it with a watermelon with the same color scheme to still show support but with a symbol that they can’t really censor.

I greatly admire people who do things like this, it takes courage. They’ll get hammered with the usual criticisms “quit your job if you don’t like it”, and “terrorist supporter” and the same old anti-activist bullshit.
It takes a backbone to put your reputation and career on the line. Even if the likelihood of succeeding in your goals is miniscule.

I also admire these people.
They will get fired. Same thing happened at Google. But I hope that isn’t the case.
Microsoft has invested a ton of money in Israel. If in the unlikely event that they are able to be convinced to leave Israel, that would be huge.
