NSW Greens councillor slammed for wearing Palestinian keffiyeh to Anzac Day dawn service

NSW Greens councillor Rafaela Pandolfini has been slammed for wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh to an Anzac Day dawn service held in Sydney’s east. The keffiyeh is a traditional scarf worn in the Middle East, but due to the pro-Palestine protests the garment has more recently been viewed as a symbol of support for Palestine. “Today was Anzac Day, the most sacred day in our nations’ calendar, it’s the day where we put aside all our differences, and God knows we’ve got a few, and focus on honouring those men and women who died to ensure the freedoms that we currently enjoy,” says Sky News host James Macpherson. “It’s not a day for partisan political points, and it’s certainly not a day for importing foreign conflicts. “Unless of course, you’re a Greens politician.”
