and lastly, and most absurd, American coffee and snack chain Dunkin Donuts has agreed to drop a commercial where TV chef Rachel Ray wears a "black-and-white checked scarf around her neck that resembled a traditional Arab keffiyeh"
the keffiyeh is a traditional Arab piece of clothing, often worn as a head dress. though it has a centuries old history, the keffiyeh has gained recent fashion fame throughout the Americas, Europe and other areas. after the rise and fall of arab nationalist movements, the keffiyeh came to symbolize support for the Palestinian people fighting occupation, as well as other arab and islamic struggles against foreign domination.in the Dunkin Donuts conflict, the fast-food chain agreed to cancel the advert after "at least one prominent conservative blogger...Michelle Malkin said it evoked extremist videos." the blogger called the keffiyeh "a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos".
not to be out done in the issuing of crazy nonsense statements, Dunkin Donuts fired back and said that the keffiyeh in the ad was, "selected by Rachael Ray's stylist and that no symbolism was intended."
Whew, thanks D & D for assuring me that the keffiyeh was intentionally selected with a non symbolic intention....

Hi,
I appreciate the good propaganda work you do on behalf of Arab imperialism in Judea and Samaria. But we must not stop there, the whole Jewish entity known as "Israel" must be dismantled. Jewish autonomy is unacceptable in Arab lands.
From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free!
