If you say so (non sarcasm) I don’t presume to know all the complicated implications of headwear. When I was back in my teens I ended up spending an entire day in Key West with my boyscout troop inadvertently wearing my hat backwards because I felt like it, and it wasn’t till I got back to the boat that its captain let me know that doing that was apparently a way of saying “I’m gay” in that area…

It’s usually worn as a scarf and the pattern is distinctive, comprised entirely of black and white. Pro-Israel supporters have been known to wear a similar patterned scarf, but in colors of light blue and white. I’ve been to close to 20 rallies in San Francisco and both the Arabs and their clueless non-Arab lefty allies don the scarf as a message of hate.
