The Palestinian scarf is cool because it makes Americans feel uncomfortable but without the dynamite belt you just come off like a pussy.

i personally dont like it as a fashion statement either. i wear mine (and will continue to do so) because it means something to me. its certainly not inherently tied with terrorists, nor is it a statement about one/two state solutions.its merely a representation of support for a people who have gotten the short end of the stick. i know plenty of palestinians who appreciate seeing that sign on whoever might be wearing it. fashion faux pas? perhaps. but for me, a worthwhile one, whether others understand it or not.
since when is it hip and fashionable to talk shit on websites anyway? im pretty sure thats stereotypically a geek activity. if the people who comment on here have nothing better than find people on the internet to talk shit on, that should reflect on their "hipness" rather than upon anyone elses.

ALso they dont even think about getting a state - they spend all their time trying to blow up israel, or at least provoke them as seen above. The pallestinians bearly know how to run themselves and if they got a state it would turn into a sandpit just like every surrounding arab nation, each without a middle class, decent education, medical facilities, or passible public works departments.

And dont give me any bullshit about how israel shouldnt be there either because Israel's creation was a logistical necesity: imagine what it would be like for the jews living there under arab rule especially considering the fact that the arabs were pissed that the jewish population in the region was on the rise because jews had been fleeing germany in such large numbers. ANd just look at hte muslim-lead nation trackrecord for tollerating different ethnicities too.

So to any white kid wearing a palestinian skarf, and I knnow a few, you guys are fucking ignorant posers and i hope an IDF bulldozer runs your ass over. Fuck you.

Fashionwise, the guy kinda reminds me of a mime, 'cept for the skarf. Is that guy wearing eye shadow or something?

Meanwhile re: the skarf. I bet this is his thinking:
"well gee the USA is an evil force in the world and I'm a Lefty so I want to represent by wearing something that is anti-usa. And Israel is supported in part by the usa so I'm gonna wear one of those ubiquitous Palestinian skarves! I'll be so cool and politically chic!"

Well buddy, you just look like a poser. Vice, you got it right with this caption more than you know.

Meanwhile, Re: Jake, if the palestinians were trying for a state they wouldnt be behaving like they've been all this time. Terrorism has never won a war. Dont you tell me the bs about the colonists being terrorists in the american revolution and how well that went for them because the colonists didn't attack brittish civilians. THe Pallestinians fight to continue the fight. They fight so that israel will attack their militants, cause collateral dammage, win the pallestinians more world sympathy and cash (for arms, notice it rarely goes to human aid anymore), and then do it all over again. The worst enemy the pallestinians have is their own leaders and their victimization complex.

Well, this is obviously the middle eastern garment most easily coopted by hipsters in raw denim (me included). Still, I can't wait until we see full-flowing Saudi robes on the Cobra Snake. Like Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia. Talk about dapper.

The only type of Keffiyeh that's associated with Palestinian solidarity is the black/white colorway. If you really want to look militant, buy a red/white one and rock it like Arafat. Bonus points if you're reading Edward Said at the time (on your way to a Norman Finkelstein lecture). There are about eighty other colorways beside this one to choose from. But the recent ubiquity of keffiyehs is annoying. They're like the new flannels or something. They're also surprisingly difficult to tie. Thank God I live in Japan where there's no such thing as semiotics. I can wear my green one free of any anxiety about its prickly role in global politics.
