Everyday, I wear my keffiyeh to work and get asked to take it off to enter the building. This type of cultural erasure is only making me and other Arab staffers prouder. Grateful for my boss @MaritStiles’ advocacy on this, calling the Speaker to reverse this decision #ONpoli

@helloitsjad @MaritStiles If you support hamas, you should be deported
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles I’m with you bro, we’ve worn this shit all over the Middle East and nothing protects from dust and sun like it. It absorb blood like a sponge too.
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles Are you trying to tell us that you’re some sort of victim??
@helloitsjad @meilideanbian @MaritStiles Not a lawyer but I feel the banning of the wearing of the keffiyeh by the Speaker of the Ontario House must violate the section 2 of Charter of Rights.
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles Unfortunately there is a group who are using your keffiyah as a means of intimidation. It is not cultural erasure and you know it. When the war is over it won’t be an issue. Try empathy.
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles Awww can't wear your amazon scarf? so sad...
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles No you don't get special treatment otherwise, everyone are going to come in wearing a statement for every cause out there. No
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles How many times did you wear it to work prior to this past Oct 7?
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles And what date exactly did you start wearing it? Be honest.
@helloitsjad @MaritStiles Where did the kefiyeh originate from?
