A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.

The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh.

“It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said.

    I have one of those, not exact, but close enough to ban me? It’s not even a political statement, I just wanted both a B&W and tan shemagh to match whatever I was wearing.

    BTW, serious pro tip, a square meter of thin cloth is seriously useful outdoors. You can wrap it several ways, stay cool, stay warm, much more.
