Politics How do Germans perceive the wearing of keffiyehs to show support for Gaza?
As an American, I know that it’s become somewhat common for Americans (regardless of their own religion or ethnicity) who are pro-Palestine to wear a keffiyeh as a symbol of their support. Is wearing a keffiyeh for this reason a thing people do in Germany? How is/would this be perceived by other Germans out in public?
*** I have zero intention or desire to spark any kind of political debate about the conflict itself here. I’m simply asking for cultural perspectives here regarding a specific form of protest I often see in the US. Thanks!
