The Kaffiyeh: More Than Just a Scarf - Update: ANSWER Calls for Dunkin' Donuts Boycott!

Fri, May 30, 2008 at 1:49 pm PDT

Any more questions about whether the kaffiyeh is “just a scarf,” or a well-known symbol of Palestinian “resistance?” An article by Mafaz al-Suwaidan in the very leftist, pro-Palestinian Toronto Star makes the point beautifully: More than just a chic checkered scarf. “The kaffiyeh is a visual extension of our ...

Another Kaffiyeh Wearer Gets in Trouble

Fri, May 30, 2008 at 8:48 am PDT

A store employee in Australia has gotten in trouble for wearing a kaffiyeh: Keffiyeh kerfuffle hits Bondi bottleshop. More overreacting right-wingers, seeing terrorist symbols where they don’t exist? No; this time a Palestinian customer complained because she was wearing it for fashion reasons, rather than as a political statement. ...

Don't Like Terrorist Symbols in Pop Culture? You Racist!

Thu, May 29, 2008 at 3:15 pm PDT

If you object to celebrities wearing well-known symbols of Palestinian terrorism, you’re a racist. Amahl Bishara, an anthropology lecturer at the University of Chicago who specializes in media matters relating to the Middle East, said complaints about the scarf’s use in the ad demonstrate misunderstandings of Arab culture and ...

The Kaffiyeh Controversy

Wed, May 28, 2008 at 9:41 am PDT

Would you believe I’m still getting hate mail from leftists and Rachael Ray fans over this post? As usual, the “progressives” refuse to see anything wrong with the mainstreaming of the kaffiyeh, and deliberately misconstrue the criticisms in outlandish ways—for example, claiming that I said Dunkin’ Donuts and Rachael Ray ...

Mainstreaming Terrorism to Sell Donuts

Fri, May 23, 2008 at 8:43 am PDT

I didn’t believe this story when people first started emailing about it; but sure enough, it’s true. Dunkin Donuts, the venerable old fried dough seller, is the latest American firm to casually promote the symbol of Palestinian terrorism and the intifada, the kaffiyeh, via Rachael Ray: Dunkin’ Breakfast Choices. ...

Symbolic Denials Continue

Tue, Dec 4, 2007 at 9:16 am PST

As Gates of Vienna launches another diversionary defense of the far-right Vlaams Belang, this time denying that there’s any significance at all to the numerous white power symbols (especially the Odin’s Cross) we’ve discovered in VB youth magazines, on their web sites, and even on Filip DeWinter’s bookshelf—have a look ...

Neo-Nazis Trying to Be More Cuddly

Thu, Nov 29, 2007 at 1:43 pm PST

Hmm. Neo-Nazis toning down the rhetoric and getting rid of hate symbols, to appear more palatable to the masses. Why does that sound so familiar? Anti-Semitic church drops Nazi symbols. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - An anti-Semitic church formed by white supremacists has abandoned its neo-Nazi imagery, such as swastikas, to ...
