http://www.reuters.com/resources/flash/include_video.swf?edition=UK&videoId=102115 I am posting this Reuters video about the growing popularity of the keffiyeh/kuffiyah/kufiya among Israelis as a preemptive strike against future claims that it is an Israeli scarf. If I had the foresight and was alive then, I would have done the same for falafel and hummous. They take our land, claim our food, [...]
…And the keffiyeh makes headlines once again. After last summer, when conservative freakshow Michelle Malkin threw a hissy fit over a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial featuring Rachael Ray in a keffiyeh-ish scarf and Dunkin’ Donuts pulled the commercial, I thought it was over. As the winds of autumn began, I noticed more keffiyehs wrapped around the [...]
This is Michelle Malkin on a keffiyeh. Any questions? [Sadly No!]
This is what happens when you miss checking your RSS feed for about a month or two. A German artist has produced a keffiyeh-inspired pattern for the erectile-dysfunctionite communists among us with the penchants for illicit drugs, butt plugs, and safer sex. The pattern incorporates hammers and sickles, Viagras, condoms, and various objects to be [...]
From STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE: “I like the guy in the white American Apparel shirt with the glasses.” “Which one? there are eight.” “The guy with the keffiyeh.” “Oh yeah, you’re right.

After a global campaign was launched to boycott Dunkin’ Donuts for its bigotted removal of a commercial featuring one Rachael Ray wearing a scarf that looked a little too Arab (see: “Dunkin’ Zionuts“) the reaction from the UAE’s Dunkin’ Donuts regional offices is not surprising in the least. If they would have supported the boycott [...]
The [Worst Person in the World] winners tonight: Dunkin’ Donuts of Canton, Massachussetts. The unbearable Rachael Ray in an ad for the donut and coffee chain to which the lunatic fringe responded in an apoplexy of xenophobic paranoia because that — that thing around her neck, that is not just a stupid scarf, they think [...]
Stand back because you are now a nobody. Our very own Paris Hilton, Maytha, made an audio-version-of-an-appearance on The Wire, an Australian community radio program, to talk about the kuffiyah’s popularity, of which her extensive coverage right here has made her somewhat of an expert. The piece, which you can download, is called “A new [...]
Not to be outdone in the Kuffiyah-spotting contest, yes it could determine the next President, Republican candidate John McCain is now trotting his daughter around in a purple kuffiyah (see the above picture, which “she” — not “they” — posted on “her” — not the “campaign’s” blog). Is it a coincidence that this we found [...]
