“After a handful of complaints about pro-Palestinian symbols at library branches this summer, leadership enforced the policies and asked staff who were not Palestinian to stop wearing symbols including kaffiyehs and watermelon pins, which show support” The Tyee.

My kaffiyeh was purchased in Jordan. It is a beautiful garment and very comfortable. Whether it shows support for Palestine will be an assumption of the viewer of my wearing the kaffiyeh. They are welcome to ask me. I would ask the leadership of VPL to visit the Middle East and see that more nationalities wear a kaffiyeh than just the Palestinians. Your conclusion of support hinges on ignorance.
