Yes, I do know what wearing a kahfiyah can stand for. But I have a strong feeling that the popularity of the scarf is not the result of a strengthening of political awareness about the conflict of Middle East. Of course I may be wrong here, I don't know that many teenagers personally. So, no objections to showing sympathy for Palestinians here
