How to wear a Keffiyeh by Jewlicious!

A public service announcement from JewliciousFestivals.com and Jewlicious.com! Get your Kosher Keffiyeh at the Jewlicious Festival, Feb. 19th-21st in Long Beach, CA or thekef.com

A Keffiyeh is a traditional headdress worn by Arab men. But what's with this Jewish Keffiyeh? Keep in mind that the designation "Arab" is an ethnicity and not a religion. While most Arabs are Muslim, many are also Christian and even Jewish! In fact most Jewish Israelis are of Arab descent - their parents and grandparents were expelled without compensation from Muslim countries in the late 50s. Like my parents! Though they "left" Morocco in 1956, their mother tongue remains Arabic. We eat Arabic food, listen to Arabic music and even look like Arabs. So if we want to wear Keffiyehs, we will! This Jew inspired Keffiyeh can be purchased from http://thekef.com !

Funny cuz the israeli occupation in Palestine shut down the last factory making Keffiyehs . What a bunch of douchebags, not all of them, but some

[jewliciousness]

@fNiLoss The only thing that shut down that Keffiyeh factory was stupid hipsters making it popular. As soon as the Chinese started making cheap knockoffs to meet the demand, people stopped buying the real thing. Hipster Palestinian activists killed the Keffiyeh factories in Palestine. Ironic, eh?

[fNiLoss]

@jewliciousness haha kinda true but israeli occupation still is the main drive in shutting it down

[jewliciousness]

@fNiLoss Not at all. Those factories were running fine until they started manufacturing knockoffs in China and selling them at Urban Outfitters. This had exactly nothing to do with the occupation. Not a single thing. Those factories did well between 1967 and 2005. Do a Google search for Hirbawi textiles - find the Guardian article written by Harriet Sherwood last year. Hipsters and the Chinese killed the Palestinian made keffiyeh.

@jewliciousness i have a keffieyeh to be in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians but it says made in Palestine on it is that bull or somthing?

Now that there is some clarification, stop whining and killing people for a cause that's not even real. Even so, learn history before you start bloodshed. END IT NOW. There's no need to spill blood, your claims are vain.

Those Philistines were not Arab... and neither was Goliath! The Arabs of "Palestine" are just that... Arabs! And these Arabs of "Palestine" have about as much historical roots to the ancient Philistines as Yasser Arafat has to the Eskimos!

[XxAdamJxX]

One more thing. Very often one hears the revisionists and propagandists finding ancient historical links between the "Philistines" ("Invaders" in Hebrew) and the Arab "Palestinians." There is no truth to this claim! The Philistines were one of a number of Sea Peoples who reached the eastern Mediterranean region approximately 1250-1100 B.C.E. They were actually an amalgamation of various ethnic groups, primarily of Aegean and south-east European origin and they died out over 2500 years ago!

[XxAdamJxX]

The term "Palestine" came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire gave the ancient Land of Israel in an attempt to obliterate and de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. The name "Palestine" was invented in the year 135 C.E. Before it was known as Judea, which was the southern kingdom of ancient Israel.

[XxAdamJxX]

The Jewish People have one of the most legitimate Birth Certificates of any nations in the world. Every time there is an archaeological dig in Israel, it does nothing but support the fact that the Jewish People have had a presence there for well over 3,000 years. The national coins, the pottery, the cities, the ancient Hebrew texts... all support this claim. There is no mistaking the fact that Jews have always had a continual presence in that land for over 3,000 years.

[XxAdamJxX]

None bothered, nor were they in the least bit inclined, to build a Nation of their own EXCEPT the Jews! No nation, other than the ancient nation of Israel and later again in 1948 with the rebirth of the 2nd Nation of Israel, has ever ruled as a sovereign national entity on this land. A mighty Jewish empire extended over this entire area before the Arabs, and their Islam,were even born!

[XxAdamJxX]

Over 3250 years, various Peoples, Religions and Empires marched through Jerusalem, Israel's ancient capital. The region was successively ruled by the Hebrews [Jews], Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Maccabeans, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Egyptians, the Crusaders, Mamelukes, the Turks (who indifferently governed the backward, neglected territory from the 16th century until the British drove them out during World War I) and then once again by the Jews in 1948.

[XxAdamJxX]

Then in 70 C.E. (nearly 2000 years ago), it was the Roman Empire's turn to march through ancient Israel and destroy the SECOND Jewish Temple, slaughtering or driving out much of its Jewish population. Many Jews left on their own because conditions for life were made unbearable in many respects... yet thousands upon thousands stayed and rebelled on for centuries in order to once again rebuild a Jewish Nation in this Holy Land.

[XxAdamJxX]

These Jews along with their progeny and other Jews who would resettle over the next 500 years, rebuilt the Nation of Israel and also a Second Temple in Jerusalem upon the Temple Mount. Thus the claim that Jews suddenly appeared fifty years ago right after the Holocaust and drove out the Arabs is preposterous!
