I had a purple one I wore until it becoame a rag, then it functioned as a bedroom curtain for a year or so. I have a newer black and white one I bought in the mid 90s which I enjoyed wearing because it was warm, practical, and went with everything. I still have it but sadly can't bring myself to wear it anymore because, rightly or wrongly, the political assocations have just become too strong, post 9-11. I do not wish to be mistaken for a suicide-bomber sympathizer, by either side, thank you very much. Maybe this one will also be reincarnated as a curtain, or perhaps a tablecloth...

Are you people ever going to take personal responsibility for yourselves, or blame the Jews in perpetuity for everything? Get a life. How predictable Fayaad.

It sounds like someone in the buying office had an agenda, hmmm. I think what this woman did was great, and we need more like her, and more organizations like standwithus.

Bought it from an ad in the back of <i>Rolling Stone</i> just because I thought it was cool. My junior year, another student (I think he was a grad student - he had that perpetual student, i.e. hippy look about him) approached me in the student union and said "Hey! You support the PLO too!". Since I had no clue at that time what the PLO was about, I just shrugged. Once I found out what the PLO stood for, the keffiyeh went into the trash. Great job Allyson!

For a former anti war activist turned magnate, he cannot claim ignorance, just stupidity.
