Palestinaskjerf Courses

Since the 1960s, the Palestinian kafiyya (or keffiyeh/keffiyah) has become a symbol of Palestinian national identity, resistance, and solidarity. It is a traditional scarf that denotes both the wearer’s political leanings and religious affiliation. The traditional kafiyya is usually a square cotton scarf that is usually a white or brown and black checkered pattern. The scarf is often worn over the head and across the chest and is held in place with a cord. The scarf has also become symbolic in progressive movements around the world and is often worn to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The kafiyya has become a symbol of Palestinian national pride, identity, and struggle against the oppression of Israeli occupation. The keffiyeh is often seen at political rallies and global campaigns, and it has been featured in various works of art and literature, including the iconic work of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. The presence of the kafiyya in popular culture has become the symbol of solidarity among Palestinians, the Middle East, and the rest of the world. The symbolism of the kafiyya is so strong that it has even been featured on the flag of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The kafiyya has become inseparable from the Palestinian struggle and continues to represent the courage and resilience of the Palestinian people.
