They photo has all sorts of colors and patterns, not the black/white pattern usually associated with Arafat and the PLO.
Today, it is a fashion accessory. I have some solid (not patterned) scarves, myself, that resemble those in the photo. Probably made in China, LOL, at the same factory.
Is that right? I think my ex-gf has one like that. Wasn’t anything political at all.
