Like Jay, Sam from West London put up posters in his school for Palestine on their class boards and wore badges to raise awareness about Palestine. The important role of peasant farmers (the fellahin) in the Great Arab Revolt of 1936 – 39 – the uprising against the British Mandate government of Palestine, demanding Arab independence – politicised the keffiyeh. It came to be widely adopted by urban dwellers as a symbol of Arab/Palestinian identity and an expression of nationalism.

Further dispossessions took place after the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. This sparked the use in Palestinian nationalist poetry and rhetoric of symbols connected with a rural way of life – the peasant farmer (fellah), the keffiyeh, the olive tree, the cactus, traditional crafts such as embroidery, all became, as Ted Swedenburg has put it, “allegories for Palestine, the land, and the people’s intention of remaining permanently on the land”.

It is important to follow the care instructions that come with your scarf for best results, as some scarves may have specific care instructions. But come the 1930s, it was these traditionalist Palestinians from the countryside who revolted against the British, and their kaffiyeh became a shibboleth distinguishing nationalist Palestinians from hatless pragmatists, who did not support violent conflict with the British Empire.
