I (sadly, a very white woman) would like to start wearing a keffiyeh in solidarity, but am concerned it might be cultural appropriation. Thoughts? And if I should, any suggestions on a good place to get some (preferably some place that would actually benefit Palestinians)?

The replies are extraordinary. People debating the origins of hummus, Minnesotans sharing their experiences of keffiyeh solidarity. So much main character syndrome and niche bonkers
"I (sadly, a very white woman)" Seriously this white guilt is just a fetish now.
Solidarity against @$$holes like you, genocider.
Is genocider still made with apples?
You people think you're being cute, but all you're really doing is showing how hateful you are. Keep it up.
It would be. I'd get to see first hand how courageous and loving the Palestinians are even while the genocidal Israelis are trying to eliminate them.
You people? Ah, you mean Jews.
I just imagine this woman forced to stand in the town square with this tweet enlarged and hung around her neck while people laugh.
Pro-Palestinoid infighting lmao
"Should we hate the Israelis for being white or for being Jewish?"

lmfao, this is Nick Griffin, the leader of the British National Party. It's 2024 and Neo Nazi's are now apparently donning Muslim garb. Commies and far rightoids become more indistinguishable every day.
I wonder if the commie OP saw this reply and allowed even a nanosecond of self reflection to occur.

It's kind of amazing and illuminating that she seems to think that the "where is falafel from" debate has the same stakes as the ongoing armed conflict in the middle east.

Keffiyeh might be the most versatile accessory. I've seen them wrapped around every body part - forehead, hair, lower face, chest, waist, even leg. All looks great

Keffiyeh didn't even originate in Palestine, they're from Iraq. The designs of the Shemagh are different, but it's funny that westoids only associate them with Palestinians, probably because they can't recognize that Bedouins wear them lmao.
Shit, up until recently, most of the upper-class Palestinians would wear a Fez
This is the epitome of westoid activism.

Tbf it started becoming a symbol of the Palestinian cause among Arabs in the 1960s because of Arafat.

You could go to Gaza and ask how you can help them directly on the ground? I'm sure they'd give you a very warm welcome and find you plenty jobs to do. Good luck!:

In Gaza, exquisite kefiahs are available for purchase. I highly recommend not only visiting the area to acquire one, but also considering the opportunity to reside there in solidarity with Hamas. It promises to be a valuable and enlightening experience.:

Update, per the vast majority of responses here, I went ahead and got one. Hard to find in stock, which is heartening. I should have it by early to mid-January. Look forward to wearing it. Thank you all!:

Wow, okay, hi, excuse me. Excuse me. It appears as if people's attention is momentarily focused on a conflict where a bunch of people are being killed and not on me, a white woman. That is not okay. Haven't you heard of #metoo? Haven't you heard about George Floyd? Don't forget. Look over here and pay attention to me again.

I (sadly, a very white man) had a shemagh when I (sadly, a very white man) was spreading white supremacy and colonialism and stuff and I (sadly, a very white man) hated the thing because I (sadly, a very white man) never cared for having anything on my head or neck. How do the muzzies do it?
Anyway, someone should tell that chick that Muslim women don't wear the keffiyeh. It's a male garment and they still think there's a difference between men and women.
