The Kuffiyyah is not “Palestinian” 
For centuries Bedouins from Kufa to the Nile wore it as a practical way to shield themselves from the desert climate; the name "keffiyeh" more correctly Kuffiyyah is thought to derive from the Iraqi city of Kufa. 

Until the 1920s, the Kuffiyyah was mostly worn by nomadic Bedouin men, distinguishing them from settled villagers. During the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt against the British Colonial Project “Palestine”, began using the Kuffiyyah as a symbol of resistance, often covering their faces with it to conceal their identities from British authorities.
