I got one around 2020 because i saw it was the last factory that made them in Palestine and I knew they needed money. I was also concerned that Israel might try to pull something and end up bombing the factory. I never really wore it because I’m not Palestinian, but unironically it is probably the only time I felt 100% good about spending money.

You are allowed to wear one, you are encouraged to wear one, directly from primary source

It is okay to be Palestiweeb. Regardless, it also makes a beautiful wall decoration, and these days made in Palestine scarves are hard to get by. So I understand people want to cherish and display their keffiyeh without risking damaging them.

Indeed, religion is about as relevant to wearing a keffiyeh as is your ability to make a perfect batch of hummus (though that skill is always a bonus!)

Great post, I’m definitely not as self conscious about wearing mine now.

Oh okay that’s good to know!

Every time a Zionist sees one in public, they seethe with rage and hatred. It is your duty to wear one not just out of solidarity, but also because it’s funny seeing genocidal assholes cry

It's good to wear them in solidarity even if you're not Palestinian!

That’s cool to know! It’s really a nice piece and can go with a lot of outfits.
