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.
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”

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