While people pretend that keffiyehs are simply symbols of solidarity with Palestinian Arabs, their "activists" admit that the keffiyeh is a symbol of violent "resistance" and terror.
Rasmea Odeh, terrorist |
Interestingly, the Israel haters like to mainstream the keffiyeh by pretending that "resistance" includes lots of things outside of blowing up Jews, but they clearly include the blowing up Jews part as being "heroic."
.
Palestinians themselves aren't as confused, happily teaching their kids that the entire point of keffiyehs is to cover their faces when they grow up to murder Jews.
And when others use a similar pattern in clothing, Palestinians freak out about "cultural appropriation" - watering down a symbol of Palestinian terrorism is a worse crime than the terrorism itself, from their crazed reactions.
The people who bitterly complain about the keffiyeh being "appropriated" never, and I mean never, complain about it being "appropriated" by terrorists for terror attacks. To them, terror attacks are the essence of Palestinian existence. Which is all the proof you need to know that the keffiyeh is in fact a terrorist symbol, not just an innocuous garment symbolizing peoplehood.
However, there is an appropriate use for keffiyehs: to be worn by dogs. No one seems to mind; dogs with keffiyehs have been seen at anti-Israel rallies. I certainly don't mind dogs with keffiyehs. Dog keffiyehs are highly appropriate, especially for people who regard "dog" as an insult.
