The keffiyeh classes crave the moral rush of oppression, the thrill of persecution.
Whatever happened to the sin of cultural appropriation?The idea was that no member of the majority group should ever appropriate the cultural habits of a minority group.And yet today, visit any campus in the West and everywhere you look you’ll see white youths dressed as Arabs.You’re no one unless you have one of these black-and-white scarves that are widely worn in the Palestinian territories.
No, there is something else going on with the cult of the keffiyeh, something that falls outside of the traditional realm of solidarity and even awareness-raising. The cult of the keffiyeh is proof that Palestine has become the great “social signifier” of the radically chic of the Western world. They pull on the garb of a beleaguered people in order to escape, however fleetingly, the pampered reality of their own lives.The elites’ vicarious victimhood through the Palestine drama is a dangerous game.
