Red triangle (Palestinian symbol)

Common card · No. 225497

During the Gaza war, an inverted red triangle has been used as a symbol of support for Palestine, especially since 2023. Interpretations of the triangle are varied; it is sometimes seen as a symbol of resistance, or more specifically for Palestinian armed resistance and for Hamas. The symbol has notably been used in combat footage published by Hamas during the war that uses inverted red triangles as arrows to indicate targets, such as tanks, shortly before they are attacked or destroyed. Some have suggested the symbol originates from the red triangle seen on the flag of Palestine. However, the historical significance of the symbol is not entirely clear. The symbol has appeared at protests against the Gaza war and in graffiti in support of Palestine around the world. It has also been used in incidents of vandalism against individuals or establishments. In 2024, it was banned in the state of Berlin and removed from some social media posts by Meta Platforms.
