How Palestinian keffiyeh is being exploited
KARACHI: The keffiyeh is a chequered designed cloth that is predominantly associated with Palestinian people. The keffiyeh and how it’s worn tells different stories about the person wearing it. The color or the pattern describes a region or a tribe. The way it’s worn, either loosely draped over the shoulder, folded up on the sides of the head, or as a turban also tells a story. But the loudest story that the keffiyeh tells us is about the Palestinian struggle. It is symbolic of the Palestinians resilience against the apartheid state they are fighting against. Unfortunately, the Palestinian keffiyeh has now become a symbol that has highlighted the hypocrisy especially that of the fashion industry. Brands that have chosen to remain mum or neutral in regards to the Palestinian crisis have exploited the keffiyeh for monetary gains.
Palestinian fashion designer, Omar Joseph Nasser-Khoury, told The Guardian, the keffiyeh is symbolic of “dispossession, systematic displacement, extrajudicial killings, and oppression”. And so when a brand such as Louis Vuitton, which has clearly stated that they have a “neutral stance” in the ongoing crisis, sell the Palestinian keffiyeh for a staggering $700, it is what Nasser-Khoury rightly calls “disrespectful and exploitative.”
To add insult to injury is the fact that Louis Vuitton is selling the scarf, which is worn either in white or red, in blue. Blue, a color that is predominant in the Israel flag.
Louis Vuitton isn’t the only high-end brand to exploit the Palestinian keffiyeh in the name of fashion. Italian brand Fendi also has gone down the same route with their take on the design and was selling it for $835.
The cost at which the scarves are being sold, even a small donation to the country and to the people they have taken the design from would be a big deal in the re-building of Gaza and other war-stricken Palestinian areas as well as raising awareness about their plight. But the brands won’t do that. In fact, the Western world has chosen to associate the keffiyeh with terrorism. A quick Google search of “what types of headgear or scarves do terrorists wear?” will show the keffiyeh. So, they’re willing to belittle the Palestinian identity while also minting it of its worth without any reference to the people.
But what does the Palestinian keffiyeh really stand for? Different people have different interpretations. For many, the keffiyeh is a fishing net, a honeycomb, and the marks of dirt and sweat off a worker’s brow. Others associate wheat with the keffiyeh in reference to Jericho which is said to be one of the first cities to grow the grain. Another interesting take is to see barbed wire in the keffiyeh representing the illegal occupation and prison that the Palestinians are enduring.
For most, it represents the armor that the Palestinians wear.

Department of Justice Seizes $2.3 Million in Cryptocurrency Paid to the Ransomware Extortionists Darkside
WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice today announced that it has seized 63.7 bitcoins currently valued at approximately $2.3 million. These funds allegedly represent the proceeds of a May 8, ransom payment to individuals in a group known as DarkSide, which had targeted Colonial Pipeline, resulting in critical infrastructure being taken out of operation. The seizure warrant was authorized earlier today by the Honorable Laurel Beeler, U.S. Magistrate Judge for the Northern District of California.
“Following the money remains one of the most basic, yet powerful tools we have,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco for the U.S. Department of Justice. “Ransom payments are the fuel that propels the digital extortion engine, and today’s announcement demonstrates that the United States will use all available tools to make these attacks more costly and less profitable for criminal enterprises. We will continue to target the entire ransomware ecosystem to disrupt and deter these attacks. Today’s announcements also demonstrate the value of early notification to law enforcement; we thank Colonial Pipeline for quickly notifying the FBI when they learned that they were targeted by DarkSide.”
“There is no place beyond the reach of the FBI to conceal illicit funds that will prevent us from imposing risk and consequences upon malicious cyber actors,” said FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate. “We will continue to use all of our available resources and leverage our domestic and international partnerships to disrupt ransomware attacks and protect our private sector partners and the American public.”
“Cyber criminals are employing ever more elaborate schemes to convert technology into tools of digital extortion,” said Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California Stephanie Hinds. “We need to continue improving the cyber resiliency of our critical infrastructure across the nation, including in the Northern District of California. We will also continue developing advanced methods to improve our ability to track and recover digital ransom payments.”
On or about May 7, Colonial Pipeline was the victim of a highly publicized ransomware attack resulting in the company taking portions of its infrastructure out of operation. Colonial Pipeline reported to the FBI that its computer network was accessed by an organization named DarkSide and that it had received and paid a ransom demand for approximately 75 bitcoins.
As alleged in the supporting affidavit, by reviewing the Bitcoin public ledger, law enforcement was able to track multiple transfers of bitcoin and identify that approximately 63.7 bitcoins, representing the proceeds of the victim’s ransom payment, had been transferred to a specific address, for which the FBI has the “private key,” or the rough equivalent of a password needed to access assets accessible from the specific Bitcoin address. This bitcoin represents proceeds traceable to a computer intrusion and property involved in money laundering and may be seized pursuant to criminal and civil forfeiture statutes.
The Special Prosecutions Section and Asset Forfeiture Unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California is handling the seizure, with significant assistance from the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section and Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, and the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section. The Department components who worked on this seizure coordinated their efforts through the Department’s Ransomware and Digital Extortion Task Force, which was created to combat the growing number of ransomware and digital extortion attacks.
The Task Force prioritizes the disruption, investigation, and prosecution of ransomware and digital extortion activity by tracking and dismantling the development and deployment of malware, identifying the cybercriminals responsible, and holding those individuals accountable for their crimes. The Task Force also strategically targets the ransomware criminal ecosystem as a whole and collaborates with domestic and foreign government agencies as well as private sector partners to combat this significant criminal threat.

Madonna Louis Vuitton Vest Fedora
Madonna Looks Fierce In $3K Louis VuittonVest & Fedora After Celebrating Dad’s 90thBirthday
Madonna, 62, looked as stylish as could be during her latest public outing. The singer was photographed walking around the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on June 5 and showed off a fashionable outfit that included a black, purple, and white Louis Vuitton vest that’s estimated to cost almost $3,000, over a long-sleeved blackish-purple top, dark purple baggy pants, and black and white sneakers. She also rocked a black and white designed fedora hat and sunglasses as her long blonde locks were down.
The “Like a Virgin” crooner added more style to her look by painting her nails multi-colors and donning classic makeup that included dark red lipstick. She also accessorized with gold-colored necklaces and earrings and had a lanyard around her neck that read “LOVE.”
Madonna’s latest airport visit comes after she took to Instagram to show off a video of five of her six kids, including Lourdes Leon, 24, David Banda, 15, Mercy James, 15, and twins Stelle Ciccone and Estere Ciccone, 8 and others helping her to celebrate her father Silvio Ciccone‘s 90th birthday. They spent the festivities at Ciccone Vineyard & Winery, which Silvio owns, and looked like they had an amazing time with a lot of running, laughing, and hugging in the clips, which can be seen below.
“My father is a survivor growing up as an Italian Immigrant in the US and living thru many traumas but always working hard for everything he had,” Madonna began the caption for the video. “He taught me the importance of hard work and earning one’s way in life………….Again I thank you. šš¼ It was so special to spend your 90th birthday with you and my children in your vineyard. ššš·š♥️.”
After the birthday post for her dad, Madonna posted an eye-catching selfie with her daughter Lourdes on June 5. The duo looked like twins as they closely posed together with pink lipstick and serious faces. “Mambo with Mariposa,” the doting mom wrote in the caption along with a butterfly and blue heart emojis as well as the hashtag “lola.”
