EXCERPT

At the Anti-Israel Carnival

While the student with the fire-engine-red hair was clearly seeking attention, signaling her fashionable politics through her outlandish outfit, other students have adopted different costumes for different purposes. For instance, surgical masks preserve anonymity while conveying a sense of menace.

Other student protestors, including non-Muslims and non-Arabs, have begun wearing keffiyehs not only to protests, but also to class, with the garment covering their entire faces except their eyes. Jewish students have told me that they have been “stared down” by their classmates in this garb.
