It’s not an aesthetic, It is more than just a chic checkered scarf. The kaffiyeh is a symbol of Palestinian resistance against Israeli oppression. #worldkeffiyehday pic.twitter.com/xPrSBHFiLD

For #WorldKeffiyehDay, I post my favorite photo where I'm wearing my favorite keffiyeh from @PaliRootsTees. Being #Palestinian is more than just an identity- it's the blood of my ancestors who fought before me; the simple drop of fresh-pressed olive oil from our trees. pic.twitter.com/HqaciyLRoy

The kuffiyeh is a black and white checkered scarf which acts as an iconic symbol of Palestinian resistance to the Israeli occupation and apartheid.
World Kuffiyeh Day aims also at bringing awareness and solidarity to Nakba Day, which is May 15.
