Since October 2023, at least 41,821 Palestinians, including some 16,500 children, have been killed, according to Al-Jazeera. Over 95,125 people have been injured and over 10,000 are missing in Israel’s war on Gaza, with Palestinians starving, displaced and losing their homes, families and friends. More and more people around the world are becoming more informed about the injustices, expressing solidarity with Palestine. Some are doing so by wearing the Palestinian flag or keffiyeh.
The keffiyeh (or kufiyyeh, also known in Arabic as hattah) is a traditional Arab head covering, and the Palestinian keffiyeh is usually decorated in black and white. The Palestinian keffiyeh has gained popularity among pro-Palestine activists and is often worn as a sign of solidarity.
Historically, it was worn by nomadic communities, the Bedouins, in historic Palestine.

It wouldn’t be the first time that a member of THE BOYZ has acted in solidarity with Palestine. Previously, Juyeon donated to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), which helps Palestine. Kevin he also expressed himself explicitly.
the boyz have always impressed me with how vocal they are. I think another boyz member has openly liked and reposted posts of support for Palestine and told a fan “sure!” when they thanked him for speaking up. I’ll tune in to see where everyone is coming from🙂↕️ https://t.co/Y3LTzMeCPG

Hyunjae wearing a keffiyeh, Kevin saying “sure” when a fan thanked him for speaking out for Palestine, and Juyeon even donating money from a photoshoot to the World Food Programme which also helps the people of Palestine. That’s why I will always love and support the boys https://t.co/uSvpCPgLiQ
