The folks at Little Green Footballs are upset about this: Peace Scarf.
I have mixed feelings about random teenagers who are unaware of the Palestinian struggle donning a kaffiyeh just because a trendy online retailer is selling it. However, maybe it is a good thing. The more people see/wear it, the more opportunities Palestinian activists have to start conversations about the human rights crisis being funded with our tax dollars.
I should also say I'm impressed with Delia's. It's only been a few months since Urban Outfitters caved under Zionist pressure and discontinued their "anti-war scarf," just days after launching it.

I don't particularly need a turquoise kaffiiyeh. But I just ordered one as a means of thanking Delia's anyways and you should too!
