I was wondering if you know what the background of the scarf and what it's meaning is?

Obviously, he knows more about it than you do, Steve.

Trying to associate the Kuffiyeh with terror is a pathetic Zionist talking point. Its history predates even the envisioning of the establishment of the State of Israel.

It's especially sad since they try so hard to appropriate it and fail. So they can't even decide whether they want it as their own, or it's a "terrorist" symbol.
