The keffiyeh to me and to most people is purely a symbol of solidarity and support for the palestinians, and in my opinion, it says much more about anti-war and peace than any stupid IDF sweatshirt!!

Keep it up! Spread the fear! It's so sad how everything can be turned into fear. The Palestinian scarf was originally worn by farmers and poor people to protect themselves from the sun and now it is a national symbol for the Palestinians. One of the only things they have left. So what's wrong with that? The dutch grow tulips and wore wooden shoes and are responsible for the word apartheid. Wooden shoes, tulips: Bad. German Totenkopf Abteilung wore skulls, the Red Khmer collected them. Skulls: Bad. Ceasar's Roman soldiers wore sandals when they slaughtered most of Europe and North Africa. Sandals:very bad. Can people concentrate a little more on peace . On not believing everything the media tells you. Question everything? But why? Exactly! Another witchhunt! Keep it up! Spread the fear!

Well you answered your own question. On that wikipedia article you posted it said a keffiyeh is also known as a shemagh. You should really google the term before you say "what the hell is a/an " Then you would've been able to infer that Urban Outfitters was trying to tone down the publicity of their product.

That shirt, without context, would be taken literally and totally misread. Only if you know what "Palestine" refers to, and have seen images of it on the news over the past few decades could you understand the irony. The images "Palestine" conjures are not about lovers or romance, but violence, chaos and squalor. Hence, the humor based only on knowledge of the topic. So see, we're in agreement! Doesn't it feel good? You are totally right. That shirt, without context, would be taken literally and totally misread.
