Mine came from a series of democratic revolutions that spread across the Middle East. One week, Palestine began their umpteenth struggle for their own country. I changed my avatar in solidarity with them.
I haven't changed it largely because nobody in DC ever gave a shit that I had had a half-dozen other countries' flags in my avatar, but when I changed it to Palestine's, I got a ton of flack for it all of a sudden from the usual suspects.
So I largely kept it as a middle finger, but the struggle in Palestine has simply never died down, so I do keep it as a continuing nugget of solidarity.
