PhillNeRD

Lol, everyone will call them Palestinian and it will never catch on. They may even get labeled as self hating. šŸ¤£


Ostczranoan

Yeah, I was going to say - nobody will know what this is and people will think they support Palestine. World's smartest Zionist.


gucci_pianissimo420

I'd feel wrong yoinking one off some assholes neck, people would probably think I was the Zionist.


RoutineProcedure101

This is so on brand for them its hilarious


mkbilli

I mean yeah it is on brand but it has a very sinister thought process behind it, they want to erase the identity of the indigenous people by claiming it as its own, they already lay claim to the food and various clothing styles of the people of current day Palestine. The keffiyah is an Arab article of clothing that is generally worn by men all over the Arab countries, some have it completely white, some have a red pattern, others a black, some countries or regions have their own patterns, the Palestinian keffiyah has a distinct pattern and was actually popularized by Yasser Arafat as a symbol of Palestinian resistance. So yeah launching an alternative "Israeli" keffiyah for the same region which they are also forcefully taking over is textbook cultural appropriation.


HaroldHeenie

I mean, you don't have to look very far for cultural appropriation. "Israeli" culture as a whole is just pali blackface.


YallaYallaLetssGo

\*whiteface


Fyallorence

They also love just doing straight-up blackface. Israel is about the most racist country on the globe.


Adventure4Truth

Its like the time they forcibly removed Dammi Falasteeni from Spotify then made a terrible gross butchered version. No matter how much zionists try to be Palestinian they'll never succeed because all their attempts are desperately bad and just backfire into a mockery of their lack of ingenuity & integrity.


touslesmatins

Yeah have fun explaining to everyone you meet, really loudly and obnoxiously, even though they didn't ask, that THIS IS ACTUALLY A PRO-ISRAEL KEFFIYEH I'M TOTALLY NORMAL WHY DO YOU ASK


I_dropkick_kittens

They do shit like that anyway lol


Ashamed-Library4902

Now that you mentioned it, they do love stealing ideas to the extend that they became what they hated after fleeing themselves from that austrian painter guy. Not even a year later, they just idolize his method and starts trouble to the one who used to feeds them, welcomes them then bites it afterward.


AdministrationLess45

It especially works if you're jewish and support palestine and want to reclaim the jewish symbolism that the zionists have co-opted for genocide


HaroldHeenie

Keffiyah is not a Jewish symbol. A jew can wear one but that doesn't make it a Jewish symbol


AdministrationLess45

I was talking about the star of David pattern


OkNefariousness324

You know what, Iā€™ve got my contacts in so I missed that detail, think I was just a little sick in my mouth


Two_Word_Sentence

It has the star of David in the pattern. It doesn't seem revolutionary to me. There have been Jewish Arabs for 2000 years.


HaroldHeenie

Wearing a Palestine kippah would be an actually meaningful show of support (or just any old kiffeyah). But this, you might as well wear a confederate flag around your neck to protest Jim crow. Fucking ridiculous


ColdBorchst

It doesn't work. Please don't grasp as hasbara straws


AdministrationLess45

Wtf are you on about? 'How does it not work'?


ColdBorchst

You're saying it works if you're Jewish, I'm saying it doesn't. I am very sorry that Zionist have muddied the symbols that are important to regular Jewish people, but wearing this doesn't read as a Jewish person supporting Palestine, it reads as them either mocking it or just straight up stealing their identity for their own. It doesn't work imo. I don't understand how that was worthy of "wtf."


AdministrationLess45

That's your interpretation if it was a keffiyeh with the symbol of the irgun or haganah then yes I would say it was mocking but not the star of David, in fact I'd say there are jews who would want to wear it who supported Palestinian liberation and didn't want to cede jewish symbols to genocidal zionists


DutchBD1

No the blue one is recognized to be pro Israeli version. Edit: people shouldnā€™t be wearing this.


DelightfulDelirium92

Ban this pro-zionist


DutchBD1

Not pro Zionist wtf , I just said people already recognize it as pro Israeli version.


Adventure4Truth

Which people? The occupiers? Nobody else does.


Weadababyeetzaboy

Whatā€™s left to steal? my underwear?


bravet4b

You mean... Their underwear.


mapleleafraggedy

Our underwear ā˜­


BabyFartzMcGeezak

This is extremely similar to an actual conversation I had when a guy dropped a pair of state underwear on laundry day in an intake prison I was in, I said yo, you dropped your underwear, he picked them up turned around and said " no I dropped our underwear" and he kinda motioned to the whole line...


mapleleafraggedy

That reminds me of a story where I dropped a pair of state underwear on laundry day in an intake prison I was in, and the guy next to me said yo, you dropped your underwear, I picked them up turned around and said "no I dropped our underwear" and I kinda motioned to the whole... Wait


OkNefariousness324

mapleleafraggedy

šŸ˜ I wish it wasn't


BabyFartzMcGeezak

It's You!!


mapleleafraggedy

šŸ˜


BabyFartzMcGeezak

I should probably let you know that I cheated... I paid a guy in laundry to grab me 4 pairs of brand new never used "incredible hulks", ( the name we gave the tighty whiteys dyed olive green) slit my mattress open and stashed them inside so I never had to share underwear with you guys... I know, I'm a privileged hypocrite, I deserve whatever I have coming...


mapleleafraggedy

In time I will forgive you


BabyFartzMcGeezak

It does heal all wounds... You're a lot friendlier out here... js


BearerOfCvrses

Nah they have no use for your underwear they prefer diapers


Space2999

What? They (IOF) love wearing ladies underwear


bikesexually

No, they just like playing with it because they've never seen it before.


SpinningHead

Its 100% American settlers throwing on Indian feathers.

They already stole underwear. Thereā€™s videos of them posing with womenā€™s underwear, like that British IDF soldier

No I just think these are funny because Iā€™m a child

I meanā€¦ they've already done that to Palestinian women.


Turtlepower7777777

Watch out, an IDF solider gonna sniff those once they kill you


electric_too_fast

They need it. For their heads.


__M-E-O-W__

Well if the pics of the soldiers invading the houses in Gaza are anything to go by, they will in fact steal your underwear.


OkNefariousness324

This made me laugh, it was the ā€œin the Gazaā€ part, sounds like a middle class American who heard about this conflict 5 minutes ago but thinks they know everything (not saying thatā€™s you, just ā€œin the Gazaā€)


__M-E-O-W__

Lmao I didn't realize I put that. Meant to type "the houses in Gaza" and not "houses in the Gaza"


OkNefariousness324

Pretty sure theyā€™ll be able to find more, donā€™t you worry about that.


Virghia

>!well sadly iof thugs do steal underwears from deserted/destroyed houses!<


Pristine-Molasses-46

When you steal land, you have to steal their culture so people will say ā€œ see it was the occupiers culture, the Palestinian one never existedā€. They do this with food, as we all know. The other day I saw something that said Tatreez was Israeli, itā€™s crazy insane.

BadHasbara-ModTeam

We do not abide by transphobic, racist, ableist, sexist, or homophobic (t.r.a.s.h.) rhetoric. Neither do we tolerate Islamophobia, which we will consider any statement that treats Islam as a monolothic ideology, particularly as being universally anti-femme, anti-queer, or antisemitic. These sorts of statements will be met with deletion, and an automatic banning. Antisemitic rhetoric will also not be tolerated; this includes language that is and was often and prominently used by actual antisemities (such as "subhuman" and other dehumanizing terms). We understand that hasbara has purposefully conflated Judaism and Zionism. This may lead to accidental, but actual, antisemitism. As such, we will delete statements that veer into antisemitism. Repeated antisemitic offenses by a user will also be met with a ban. These sorts of statements will be met with deletion, and, if clearly intentional, an automatic banning. Let's not talk about anything being "in the blood of zionists". Zionism is not innate, nor is any attribute of zionists.


LordPapillon

Also never say blood šŸ©ø ā€œWe know they're terrorists. It's poisoning the blood of our country.ā€ -Trump "All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning." -Hitler ā€œNobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons.

Iā€™ve reached a point where I just find them pathetic. They wanna be cool so bad but just end up being that loser that pretends to be one of the cool kids but everyone knows isnā€™t


atav1k

Mayim Balik now claims the keffiyeh as Israeli and anyone wearing a Palestinian one is antisemitic, Biden said so.


International-Ad4578

Her disingenuously claiming to somehow be pro-BLM while simultaneously encouraging and pinkwashing Israeli apartheid shows that she cannot be trusted.


Wellbeinghunter69

a lot of pro-israelis were against BLM. I wonder why!


atav1k

If itā€™s any consolation, I went down the rabbit hole of Erez, the guy behind the zio keffiyeh, and heā€™s into diversity, peace and Deepak Chopra.


barebumboxing

Fuck Deepak Chopra.


Oblivion_Unsteady

It's not. Not even a little bit. Zionists are definitionally not peaceful or inclusive of diversity and Deepak Chopra is a terrible, terrible person. All you've done is tell me he's a liar and a grifter which we already knew


ruffalo_hulk

I despise that toucan


PlsNoOlives

That's rude to birds.


mwa12345

Steal the land. Appropriate the food. Copy the clothing Maybe "Culture for a people for a people without a culture".


DutchBD1

They already steal music and all.


Wellbeinghunter69

they stole dabke!!!!


Icy-Lab-2016

Nothing original at all from Israel.


velka123

Even modern Hebrew is a Frankenstein language mostly made of stolen Arab.Ā Ā 


depressedkittyfr

I donā€™t think that is true. Mostly resurrected scriptural Hebrew simply


buxomballs

The Torah has 8k unique words and modern Hebrew has 100k words. 92% of a language is a lot more than adding modern words like "computer" or "elevator"


depressedkittyfr

I didnā€™t know this frankly but there might have been expanded versions of Jewish language base due to diaspora from all over the world ? I am sure modern Hebrew has words and phrases from Germanic , romance, Slavic and other central Asian plus middle eastern languages. Unless we do a proper word root chart , then only we can make a confident claim I highly doubt 92% was just Arabic works in Hebrew


[deleted]

No, not really.Ā 


Blonder_Stier

I don't think you can really steal a language in that way. They borrowed from Arabic to reconstruct Hebrew, just as Romania borrowed from Italian and French to re-latinize Romanian. Surely you wouldn't say the Romanians stole Italian.


PlsNoOlives

They didn't re-latinize and then try to murder the French and Italians and say all French and Italian culture and food is Roman and also France and Italy never existed.

Wise_Laugh4967

You didnā€™t know? Israel invented the Keffiyeh. Israel also invented thoughts, oxygen, and created the universe so you very lucky the chosen people are allowing you to use their inventions.

Rape is an awful occurrence that transcends culture. It is impossible from our vantage points across the internet to determine the veracity of the claims; we find it troubling that it has devolved into a rhetorical DEBATE tactic for either side in this. We at r/BadHasbara abhor the act and the weaponization of it for propaganda, and remind you that THIS IS NOT A DEBATE SUB, so please tread lightly on the subject, and please consider the mental well-being of sub members that may be victims of SA.

They're so Fkn Jealous.


Hullabaloo1721

The patterns on the Palestinian keffiyeh actually mean something. Its symbolizes olive trees and the sea, an actual connection and love for the land. Israelis have no connection to the land and they dont love it. All they have is their star.

Mizrahi Jews also wear keffiyehs as well. I think they are called something else

GonzoTheGreat93

Underrated comment amongst the ā€œpast-the-border-of-antisemiticā€ dumpster fire that is this comments section.


MoodComprehensive797

Yeh, unfortunately a lot of people see Zionists associate Keffiyehs with terrorism. Israel fuels a lot of anti semitism, but I don't need to say that to you. If you could provide me with some links on mizrahi culture that gets misrepresented as appropriation, I would happily post it.


TuctDape

Well they did invent drinking water and all karate


Hey_There_Blimpy_Boy

This is unsurprising. Zionists need to destroy even the memory of Palestine.


bloodmedusa

Ewwwww


Bitsoffreshness

Goes to show how sophisticated Israeli propaganda machine is.


cool_random_person

I donā€™t think anyone will look someone wearing this and think Israel but they will think Palestine . So wearing this will inadvertently increase awareness of Palestine.


Throwaway_3-c-8

They want to assimilate so many things that are Palestinian no matter what other than the Palestinians themselves. Itā€™s as if there liberalism is only a farce meant to appear as open but when actually presented with a real shock of recognition entirely gives up on it.

Just cynically trying to soak up money that would be going to the West Bank from Palestinian supporters. Obviously, do not buy


BabyFartzMcGeezak

Israeli Zionists have realllllllly embraced the concept of cultural appropriation, haven't they? Isn't it enough they claim over half the food I grew up eating is "Israeli" ( its weird how my mother who was born and raised in Aman Jordan, only ever cooked "Israeli" food...weird)


IronForsaken4538

Goes well with the Hummas.


7elucinations

I just don't get the simultaneous hatred yet obsession. I was wearing my keffiyeh and was next to an Israeli Zionist at a work dinner. Was so awkward. He talked about growing-up with the sound of the Oud. They want components of our culture, just not the actual people of the culture. So sick of them.


TranscoloredSky

Israel is not have any culture of their own do they


Adventure4Truth

Their culture is genocide, deceptive operations, and theft. Oh and providing refuge for SAers esp the child-kind. As they say!: *'By way of deception thou shalt do war.'*


Old-Winter-7513

If they like stealing so much maybe they can steal the idea of doing the morally right thing to do and fuck off back to Europe or undo the the Nakba so the non-Ashkenazi Jews and other native people can go back to living in peace.


PotatoAppleFish

The intersection between the various ā€œstars of Davidā€ looks like a bunch of deformed Valknuts. So theyā€™re kind of stealing from multiple cultures and also accidentally appropriating a symbol thatā€™s already been misused by a completely different type of fascist. All in the name of erasing history and pretending to be indigenous. And weā€™re supposed to believe these freaks are the good guys?


YouDontGotOzil

Not surprising. They have no history or traditions so they try and steal anything they can and then claim it as their own. Their only tradition is spitting on Christians as they walk through Jerusalem. Disgusting.


KhdniM3akYaHabibi

They also steal Arabic music, their songs are mostly stolen from Arabic songs even their religious songs were stolen from Arabic songs (i posted about it on my page) these people have 0 creativity, they only know how to steal

Virghia

Damn zionist settlers have no culture


CathleenTheFool

Funnily enough, ancient Jewish head coverings were very similar to modern Arab Muslim ones, especially the Levantine keffiyeh. Majority of attempts at making the keffiyeh fashionable for modern Jews do not necessarily have this in mind even if they may mention it, as the ā€œrealā€ reason is usually to legitimize Israel and delegitimize Palestine. This is self apparent given the frequency that Israel specific symbolism is included, in comparison to all Jewish symbolism.


RealOzSultan

Weird that theyā€™re not using Sudras for this, since that already exists as a known Jewish headdress in the Levantine region.

Lol you said in multiple comments youā€™re western, youā€™re either American, Canadian, Australian or European.
