Wow. At this rate, Israel is working really hard on turning the star of David into a swastika equivalent. That’ll happen before you’ll convince me that a keffiyeh is. You don’t get to commit genocide, enable it, support it, or celebrate it and then claim victimhood for being told geonicide is bad. I find it particularly disgusting that they are trying to invoke those who actually suffered atrocities, like holocaust victims and black Americans, to claim this victim narrative.

It’s a traditional cloth/wrap usually used as a head covering or scarf common in Palestine. Hell, from my understanding, many Jews in the area will wear them.

The appropriation of the keffiyeh as a fashion statement by non-Arab wearers separate from its political and historical meaning has been the subject of controversy in recent years.[26] While it is often worn as a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian struggle, the fashion industry has disregarded its significance by using its pattern and style in day-to-day clothing design. For example, in 2016, Topshop released a romper suit with the Keffiyeh print, calling it a “scarf playsuit”. This led to accusations of cultural appropriation and Topshop eventually pulled the item from their website.[27]

Definitely not the same thing as a swastika or Klan hood, but there’s a good argument against Western appropriation, especially by right-wing military types.

Im 99% sure this is meant in a “anti zionists / palestinians are nazis” way and nothing deeper than that.

So you’re OK with appropriation, or not OK with it, depending on who’s doing it? Weird.

No, I’m saying that there’s a difference between a protestor who wears it in solidarity with Palestinians, and a militia member who regularly says “sandn****r”

So you ask a question, answer it then judge the person on the answer. Weird.

Basically, they’re saying Palestinians hate Jews. Which statistically speaking, more than half of Gaza hates Jews. Not just Israel, they hate Jews in general.

More than half of Gaza is children. You can’t expect children who are being killed with bombs to engage in nuanced political discourse. Stop the bombings, build schools and hospitals and houses. End the poverty and the oppression. Then see how many hate Jews. Drag thinks it will be much less when people aren’t war criming them in the name of Judaism.

Israel controls the conditions in Gaza. And Israel is creating the conditions for hate on purpose, because Israel wants a war.

More than half of Gaza is children.

At this point, more accurate to say that half of Gaza was children
