After the last infographic, PaliRev received many questions on the meaning of the kufiya and culturally appropriate usage. Palestinians have asked that everyone willing wear the kufiya in solidarity with their struggle and to unite. Of course, this should be done with respect to the importance and history surrounding the kufiya, and proper care shown to the garment. Thank you all for your strength!

[image id: an image with a white background. Medium sized gray text reads, "WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT". Below, large text colored with the Palestinian flag finishes, "PALESTINIAN KUFIYA". There follows an olive green block with white lettering. A white circle partially covers the left-hand corner, a depiction of a Kufiya surrounded by olive branches. The kufiya is a white and black checkered scarf with tied ends. The first line of text is bolded. It reads, "Also known as a keffiyeh, shemagh, or hatta, the kufiya was wrapped around Palestinian rebels' faces during the British Mandate of Palestine and 1936-1939 Arab Revolt to avoid arrest. When banned by authorities, Palestinians all wore kufiya to protect rebels. After illegal Israeli occupation forces banned the Palestinian flag from 1967 to 1993, the kufiya was used to symbolize national identity."

A low opacity gray text between boxes reads, @PaliRev.

Below is a white box with a slight shadow outlining it. In olive green text, one section asks, "What do the patterns represent?" Beside it is an image of the kufiya's design, with a fishnet pattern on top, three bold black lines in the middle, and two rows of olive leaves on bottom. Black text reads, "The fishnet pattern is for Palestinian connection to the sea, knotting together, and the barbed wire of occupation. As the tree lives 300-600 years, olive leaves represent resilience and ties to the land. The bold lines represent trade routes across historic Palestine."

A second section header in olive green text reads, "Who can wear the kufiya?" Below it, black text says, "You, me, and anyone in solidarity with Palestinians, resisting oppression, and honoring its significance and history. The kufiya is not restricted to any group or gender, a symbol of cultural heritage and identity for many in the Middle East, but an international symbol of activism and unity."

A small olive green box at the bottom of the shadowed white box has white text in it which reads, "Where can I get one that supports Palestinians?"

Below the white box and at the bottom of the page are four QR codes with labels beneath them. The first is Hirbawi, the second is Handmade Palestine, the third is KUVRD, and the fourth is Palestine Shirts. /end id.]

A package arrived from Palestine!

Wow that's nice 👍

Let's try it on (excuse my tricolour beard)

The last remaining Keffiyeh factory in Palestine is the Hirbawi factory. Sadly all other Keffiyehs are made outside the land we associate them with. But lucky for those who want to support Palestinian business and artisans, they have some absolutely stunning colour combinations and gorgeous workmanship. This one has a very soft creamy yellow, a white, and brown embroidered accents, it is clear that there's a lot of care and artistry to their designs.

I found this one on Etsy from Meetpalestinestore but the Hirbawi website is half the price at kufiyas.org - it just has been on back order for a long long time due to the occupation's recent violence and forced economic shutdowns.

If you're interested I could show you my others, I really love these garments and this is my third from this great traditional factory. I know it isn't much, but I am proud to be able to support a business keeping this beautiful industry alive, and in a small way support a people who are facing unthinkable hardship too.

Can anyone recommend shops to buy keffiyeh from? I would like my purchase to go toward supporting Palestinian causes or artists. Please and thank you.

"Ghar"

My OC for Tidal Blades. He's a Desert-Dwelling Croc who Races Like A Champion. He's always eager to hop on his jetski, the Desert Winds and speed around.

His shemagh was a gift by a childhood human friend when they were both little. Ghar was awful about getting sand in his snout through childhood. While his snout has kind of outgrown the shemagh, he's worn it so much he feels naked without it.

Since he's grown up in the Droskani Desert most of his life, he's new to a lot of Naviri. His goal is to win the Nine Cups, but he has a long way to go to make it to the top.
