Something different


A Keffiyeh = Traditional Arabic head dress for men.Practical use: protection from sun exposure, desert winds and sands. Also has tribal significance. Known to stand for Palestinian nationalism or The Palestinian state's struggle for independence. True story.

As seen on the Streets. Rocked by everybody. I dont think people know what it stands for, as matter of fact, i know people don't know. All these so-called swagger stores market them as "peace scarves". Peace scarves??? Im not tryina be a smart-ass or holier than thou, but, wearing this scarf represents something. Before anything, i think people should know that. Especially, in light of the current tragic state of the Gaza conflict. Personally, i feel like rocking one now, but, i won't. Im not into politics or taking sides. I will never trust them. Of course, i was excited and elated when Obama got first, but, thats as far as it goes. I just think the situation in Gaza is deplorable.

For you that rock Keffiyehs, know what it is.
