Original Note:
Note Needed: Calling the keffiyeh a 'terror scarf' is highly misleading and false attribution. It was also not an anti-israel symbol, it was a symbol of anti-british colonial rule in palestine, and has nothing to do with jewish deaths in the 1936 arab revolt against brits https://kufiya.org/what-does-the-palestinian-keffiyeh-symbolize/#:~:text=The%20Palestinian%20keffiyeh%20(AKA%20kufiya%2C%20shemagh%20or%20hatta)%20is%20a%20black%20and%20white%20checkerboard%20headscarf.%20The%20keffiyeh%20has%20taken%20many%20forms%2C%20dating%20back%20as%20far%20as%203100BC%20Mesopotamia%20in%20the%20%E2%80%9CKufa%E2%80%9D%20region%20of%20Iraq. https://kufiya.org/what-does-the-palestinian-keffiyeh-symbolize/#:~:text=The%20keffiyeh%20first,from%20the%20crowd.
