Another way we’re supporting Palastine is by pre-ordering authentic kufiyas— Palestinians have confirmed that it is NOT appropriation to wear these, as wearing the kufiya shows solidarity to Palestine and keeps their beautiful culture alive all around the world. A symbol of hope, resistance, solidarity.
The Hirbawi Kufiya is now the only kufiya still being actively produced in Palestine— Yasser Hirbawi opened his historic factory in 1961, and they have been authentically woven in Palestine since.
The store is currently taking pre-orders to ship out when the blockade is lifted:
I also want to add that they have a rainbow kufiya. On the website they kind of coyly say it represents "diversity" and on other websites it's marketed as "Pairs fabulously with any of your closet staples!" and you know exactly what that means. IIRC they might have rolled it out for pride month, but I don't remember that clearly.
That was a risk. Do NOT let Israel pinkwash. (Also, it's very pretty.)
(I am saying this as a queer person with partial ancestry from a majority Islamic culture and who used to be a very devout Muslim, so I deeply appreciate this gesture. I don't think it's a pink dollar thing.)
Thank you for sharing friend! You’re absolutely right— do NOT let Israel pinkwash. It’s another tactic to cover up their atrocities.
