I have same concerns as @borlax@hexbear.net....

even know what the meaning and history behind the outfits/slogans, then yes it’s appropriation.

how do i learn this specifically about the keffiyehs?

I just read the wikipedia; quite the roller coaster. But doesn't make me feel that I know enough to be defensible.

Palestinians have asked people to wear them. It is a symbol of solidarity, don't let your fear of accidentally being a little bit symbolically racist stop you from showing solidarity.
