Can't bring politics into... politics? I mean, they are politicians, right?
Yeah, haha! I also thought that funny. Wait, politicians can't be political? Then why are they in different parties? Why aren't they all singing kum-ba-yah around a campfire and agreeing on how to make society better based on scientific data, not their own personal indoctrination? LOL
Maybe one day we'll get our heads on straight. Some are, like the ones familiar with and following Peter Joseph's work, The New Human Rights Movement, Zeitgeist films and Michael Tellinger with One Small Town Contributionism.
Exactly like SERIOUSLY this is their job
And she tried it their way , by voice , not props . How did that turn out ?
There's no room for this act in their clown show.
cosplay everywhere
"Excuse me miss, You are a little bit too muslim for our house today. Can you please leave, you are making the wasps nervous..."
Lol. True. It's so ignorant all I can do is laugh at its ridiculousness
You are making the wasps think about what they have cosine, genocide, extermination, corporate destruction of people You are reminds us of that please leave.
Worse than that, since among Palestinians there are christians, atheists, and some more like Samaritans...
Jews have been trying to reclaim the Kuffiyeh as a Jewish traditional clothing. Look up Jewish sudra. The scarf originated from Iraq, and its roots go back to Babylonia. All middle westerns in the levant and Arab peninsula wear it, irrespective of religion.

This rule was aimed at one person only, the lone Arabic member of provincial parliament
Interesting knee jerk reaction here.
Actually it was aimed at the lone person breaking the rules of provincial parliament
Not allowing her to give her vote also collectively punishes her constituents and takes their voice away too!
They have the right to not vote for her.
Exactly! It’s a blatant violation of our 1st Amendment rights and those of her constituents.
@@oriomssi Spoken like a true xenophobe.
@@oriomssi Well we all have the right to not vote for somebody, so your point is just ridiculous
@@Reinvention2-qo2tw What 1st Amendment?
Not asked to remove it, which is still wrong, but asked to LEAVE.
And then denied her the ability to cast her vote.
I think the rule not to wear it was brought in by the Speaker before she was asked to leave.
Thanks for the clarification. Isn't it ugly of them not to ask her to remove it first? She still should not comply. I mean, I hope she sues over this if that's what it takes; the lack of discretion and respect offered will only make it easier for her to prevail.@@dinkster1729
It’s a garbage rule by stupid politicians, they don’t know the charter! They are plain ignorant
It's wrong to call attention to clothing or other cultural symbols of identity, like the headgear worn by Sikhs, for example. It's unconscionable to ask someone to remove it. Imagine someone asking a person to remove a wedding ring, or a tie, or a black garment worn by an Amish person, for instance. It's bullying and disrespectful. And to compound matters, that mistake was skipped entirely and she was simply evicted and her constituents silenced. And for what... @@mattlane3135
They're one step away from saying it's poisoning the blood of the province.

American politicians wear pins with the US and the Israeli flag crossed.
Nuff said.
Wrong country, different laws and policies.
Just wearing an American flag pin has to be political. And wearing dog tags that say, "Bring them home now" in Hebrew is not wearing political gear?
American politicians were literally walking in wearing IDF unis in Congress/Senate ,US/UK/Canada/Germany what's the difference same wht supremacist loons who run it all .
Well, I expect the "two Canadian flags on my car" groups to be very vocal about this attack on freedom./s
Oh, you mean the people the government has labelled a hate group for being against over taxation and government lockdowns?
Ya, I wouldn't use that comparison to support your opinion. Some innocent protesters are still in court for standing around in protest of Trudeau; not to mention the fact that they had their life savings locked down by the Liberal / NDP government.
/s we do need a special sarcasm font these days :-(
😂
I would count on nothing but hypocrisy from the "patriot brigade"...
What do you know about freedom? Those pushing Marxism today want to remove freedom.
The racism and xenophobia is obvious
Didn't she try it their way , by voice , not props ? We all know how that turned out .
The scarf that she was wearing is NOT 'MUSLIM', it is a Political statement that she supports a Banned Terrorist Organisation. She should be charged with THAT, because THAT IS ILLEGAL..
There is no racism. It’s clearly used as a political jester. We have lots of parliamentarians that wear turbans and other religious head dress. This isn’t a religious item.
Not letting people wear whatever they want in a professional environment is racist??? 😆😆😆😆
@@sheldon7510 when Doug Ford said " the carbon tax is history " was that professional ? Are you still paying the carbon tax and did you fall for that lie ? Not too professional . In Syria , women can wear whatever they want , maybe we should take freedom tips from them and not far right A-holes .
Sadly this is an example of what to expect from Conservatives if Poilievre is elected.
PP supports the fringe, far right, extremists.
If your politicians can't be political in the house, who the FUCK can and when?
As an Indigenous person this reminds me of Catholic priests forcing Indigenous children to cut their hair in residential schools.
An ex-boyfriend of mine went to a school where a school uniform was required from kindergarten. He used to laugh about his classmates who would wear a tie that looked exactly like the official school tie, but wasn't. They thought they were being radical, but didn't want to get kicked out of shcol for refusing to wear the school uniform.
Same crap, different day.
Needs to go to court. Violation of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, sec. 2 . They can't prevent her from wearing it.
Yes they can. THere is a set of rules, with the objective of keeping decorum in a house of Parliament. This same rule will apply to many other sets of overt political attire, whether right wing, left wing or center.
@@rb239rtrA set of rules that is being ignored for other forms of political attire, for "some" reason.
That piece of clothing is not a "religious" item, in fact she is wearing her head covering without it being a problem.
One person, the Speaker, has the power to sideline the one Arabic member of the House, based on nothing but her traditional clothing.
It’s outrageous 😠
the speaker is enforcing a decades old rule. THe speaker asked the legislature to change the rule.
Yeah, no. It's not "traditional"; it is a symbol of intolerance and hate, deliberately adopted by folks who condone and promote violence and destruction.
The scarf that she was wearing is NOT 'MUSLIM, nor is it "Arabic Tradition" ', it is a Political statement that she supports a Banned Terrorist Organisation. She should be charged with THAT, because THAT IS ILLEGAL..
LOL Politicians are not supposed to be political?
I actually love the fact that all of these elitist racists are identifying themselves lately, and so publicly. _Bring it to the polls, people!REMEMBER And VOTE!_
It’s truly disheartening to see people get more upset at an article of clothing than they are that thousands of people are being murdered.
Very true. However, for those who are still supporting Israel's genocide in the Gaza strip, Sarah Jama's kaffiyeh is a constant reminder of the genocide going on, right?
@@dinkster1729exactly, they don't want anyone to be reminded of it.
Tens of thousands , including innocent women and children

thn don't forget the starving of the innocents tht most of these politicians also support by supporting isarealhell.
It’s not stupidity, it’s narcissism.
I hope that you’re right and that photo will reverse the ban. The body language in that photo is sick; his authoritarian and overly confident stance, her pulling away and shrinking herself. It reminds me of something from Victorian elementary schools when it was considered normal for teachers to whip their students.
That's the Sargent at Arms, not the Speaker. Sarah Jama is no shrinking violet either. She's a very tough cookie and has taken a lot of abuse, I'm sure, as a young woman in a wheelchair. The attacks on the disabled are incredibly viscous I'm afraid.
@@dinkster1729 I didn’t mean to suggest that Sarah Jama is helpless and weak, not at all - just that this photo is SCREAMING of opposing power dynamics in their body language. It’s almost too vivid to seem real.
I’m sure she has faced sooo much crap in her job, way before Oct 7 and I don’t expect she will be leaving anytime soon either. I wish the best to her in her career!! We need more people like her working in politics 💪🏻❤️✨
Gee, kind of takes me back a few months when Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian in our US Congress was censured and still is.

This picture sets Democracy back 100 years in Canada. What's next banning Turbans , Hijabs ,
Probably Alberta's new bill to let provincial cabinet (not even the full legislature, just cabinet) unilaterally alter municipal bylaws and fire municipal councilors they aren't happy with.
Might as well just call it the "big cities aren't redneck enough and we're taking direct control over them" act.
funny how only this irks you but the destruction of our country is fine
Turbans and Hijabs are religious garments.
Kafiahas are fashion garments that are worn to portray a political ideology. Similar to not being able to wear a swastika in Parliament either
I really hate this generation of TikTok scholars.

Soon enough, just calling yourself Palestinian will be a symbol of resistance.
"Mr. Speaker, this Palestinian is displaying a heartbeat, in blatant resistance to glorious Israel."
Pretty sure BEING a Palestinian, with any sense of self, IS A SYMBOL OF RESISTANCE.
FTRTTS
The NYT memo told on them, they are to avoid the word Palestine amongst other dirty words.
Yes being a Palestinian is a symbol of resistance. Palestinians say: We resist by existing. Because they tried erasing them, their identity and culture.
@@geegeeh.6118 1948 U.N. resolution assigned Jews and Arabs portions of the old Ottoman province of Palestine to administrate. Jews agreed and declared the state of Israel. Arabs disagreed and immediately declared war on the new state.
@@marquefan1 Isn't claiming someone else's land as your own already a declaration of war?
Also, why was the UN in a position to give away Palestinian land, anyway? Does history start in 1948? What about 1941/42? What do the words "Mandatory Palestine" mean? What about 1919-22? What about the Balfour Declaration in 1917? Or does it ruin the narrative to admit that the Israeli colonialist project started before WW2 had even begun?
If we're keeping score, it seems like Britain first declared war in 1917 by demanding Palestinian land to create a Jewish nation. Then again, I suppose the *continued existence* of Palestine is more of a declaration than demanding that someone surrender their home (in the Balfour... um, Declaration).

Point taken, and to avoid the confusion and or bad faith word- twisting. If people wear clothes that are not appropriate for certain contexts (jobs, interviews, funerals, famiky friendly environments, etc), some caveats would be made.

"It's being viewed as a political symbol."
Those of us with normal sensibilities (i.e. not racist) don't view it as a political symbol. It is now.
These are the same people who consider LGBT issues as political. Disgusting.
Even if it was a political symbol... she's a politician, in a building hosting political body. Yet politics aren't allowed there of all places?? It's crazy that this would be an excuse to discriminate against her.
I met person who says keffiyah is political and we have no way to know who's under it
Even if the scarf is seen as a political symbol, I believed Canada was a free country. I guess I was wrong.
@gracieb.3054 person I talked with said it was a mask and makes it hard to tell who's under there
Bunch of hypocrites!! They wore the political sign during the Ukraine war!
She's not even Muslim she's standing up for the Palestinian community
"1984" and "Orwellian" are often overused or misused expressions. Not now. These terms are perfectly appropriate for what's happening now.

The Conservative colonizers are on the march again
the rule being implemented is a long standing rule, likely decades old. THe speaker is enforcing the rules. THe speaker did say that the legislators can change this rule, Doug Ford agrees with changing the rule
@@rb239rtr It's a long-standing rule that political props are banned. The speaker is making an interpretation that a particular group's traditional clothing falls under the definition of prop, and then enforcing his interpretation.
IMO that might be justified if some people with no actual heritage in the group for whom it is traditional (ie white progressives) start wearing it "for solidarity". It's a lot sketchier to to eject an actual Muslim MPP from chambers for wearing traditional Muslim clothing.
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu The Kaffiyeh is cultural, common to the Palestinian area, it is not a symbol of Islam. It is not worn in Somalia. A lot of the anglo protestors in Toronto do wear a Kafiyyeh as a protest.

"Snob'. You're ridiculous.
So ironic to ban something for being political in a place that existis especifically for politics.
The Proper Attire clause in the house of commons standing orders clearly allows for the wearing of cultural items. There is no exception based on culture. Those asking her to leave and prohibiting her from voting are acting outside the rules. History will remember them poorly.
And if not, everyone wearing a cross or any religious symbol should be asked to leave
there is nothing about the Kiffeyeh that relates to Somali culture. Nothing in the African areas of Somalia looks like the Kiffeyeh. THere may be Arabs in Somalia, but their Kiffeyeh's likley do not look like Palestinian Kiffeyehs.
@rb239rtr I think you're missing the point of both my comment and the standing orders. Whether the article of clothing is native to your culture is irrelevant. There are no rules that discriminate mps or mpps in the house on the basis of clothing, full stop. Furthermore the keffiyeh ban is arbitrary as others are permitted to wear political and cultural symbols. However, if your argument indeed had relevancy, I would say you didn't read the article. Her husband is Palestinian and she was supporting her husband, so she had as much right to wear it morally as anyone.
@@carlospineda6947 the Kiffeyah is not native to Somalia
@@rb239rtr ok....and?
How can a politician not be political? Even if the keffiyah was purely a political symbol, so what? We elect people to take political stands. No one has the right to effectively disenfranchise everyone who voted for Jama.
Disgraceful to democracy and disgraceful to Ontario parliament
Isn't every member of the government expected to wear a Poppy in November? Wouldn't that be a violation by that same rule?
It could become contentious.
If a politician doesn't wear a poppy on Remembrance Day they are immediately attacked for being unpatriotic or something. So the poppy is a political symbol solely on that basis without even going into the issue of why some people don't choose to wear one.
currently, the Poppy is not a politcal item. No one has co-opted it yet.
@@rb239rtrAre you really this braindead? Like, is it actually broken? This is a wild statement.
If you go into Orthodox or Catholic churches, the icons of the Virgin Mary show her also wearing a head scarf.
Common practice in those lands, two millennia ago.
@@EllieMaes-Grandad Very few depictions of the Virgin Mary are from 2 millennia ago. However, the traditional dress of the women in the Middle East, maybe, made a strong impression on the European artists who decided what what the Virgin should wear.
Do MPPs wear Conservative, Liberal or NDP pins? If so, are those not "political props"? The crock of shit these authoritarians are trying to peddle is beyond belief.
I don't think they do. I have seen an orange surgical mask among the NDP members. Should the MPP be wearing that colour of surgical mask?

The white old man telling you what do. Things never change
Yet again, someone merely existing being told "don't shove your politics down my throat"
Yah this is unreal. So much worse going on that needs real attention.
It's insane.. freedom ... what the heck is going on in Canada! Such absolute far right wing crap! A cross, fine, a star of David, fine, a hells angels t-shirt, fine, but a scarf! Oh no! So in a political room, politic being discussed she is being what? POLITICAL!
Occupation has to stop
That photograph looks like a political satire cartoon from my local newspaper.
Heartbreaking and infuriating. Wtf is wrong with our political leaders??
If there is no symbol of resistance allowed inside the seat of power you are officially living inside of an authoritarian regime. Democracy thrives when all societal groups are not just allowed to, but expected to, stand up and declare their position then allowed to vote their mind.
Why are people scared of a piece of cloth in the first place…this is idiocy
If you can't be "political" in a literal parliament building, (whatever they call it in Canada, sorry) then where the f are you supposed to "be political" anyway?! 😂
It's an absurd provincial government and I fear it's a foreboding of what's in store for all of Canada if the CPC should win the next GE.
This reminds me of film that was made a few years ago by a film school student, they are Indigenous and the subject was residential schools. the “film school” told them it would not show the film because they said it was too political.
Yes, that school is in a conservative province.
Disgusting!
The different parties sit on different sides slug the legislature. They are being political by sitting on each side.
So I would gather religious jewelry is also banned (crosses, Star of David, Evil Eye, Hamsa Hand, ankh, Eye of Horus, Tree of Life, etc.) and religious headwear (yamaka)? What's next...checking for body tattoos?
Authoritarians are going to authoritarianate.
Interesting that in a legislature that political symbols are not allowed.
FREE PALESTINE
To this day Sarah is overwhelmingly popular in our riding and yet they continue to piss us off. I have community members who are now going to vote for her who have never voted that way because of this disgusting behaviour by the Conservatives, Libs.
What the speaker of the house did in barring a member simply for wearing a Kaffiyeh is not only morally reprehensible- it violates fundamental Canadian values of respect for diversity, freedom and freedom of expression. We should all remind ourselves what our Canadian constitution stands for.
“Every nation needs a basic statement of what it stands for. For Canada, the Charter was that statement. The Charter affirmed in express language the values implicit in the BNA Act of 1867 - our democratic rights and our respect for difference and diversity. It picked up the themes of liberty and equality that had increasingly found place in Canadian law and jurisprudence since the Persons Case of 1929. “ “We see a nation that, nourished by these values, has steadily moved to full recognition of the equality of its citizens, regardless of gender, race or creed. We see a country that in the eyes of the world stands for decency, respect for difference and the peaceful resolution of conflict.” Honourable Beverly McLachlin, Chief Justice, Canada
Shame on the speaker of the house for it seems that there has been a deliberate undermining of the our Canadian fundamental values. Since when does wearing a kaffiyeh oppose fundamental Canadian values or pose as a threat? Implicit in the speaker deplorable action is outright racism and creating dangerous false associations intentionally orchestrated to foment. It seems the very identity of our country is being systematically replaced with an ideology and value system of another! We won’t have it! The world sees - not hard to figure out!
The ONDP needs to hold a press conference to A) apologize to Sarah Jama...B) bring her back into the fold...and C) announce that NoMerit Stiles is no longer party leader.
Yes, yes and yes.
Bullshit jama needs to stay out of the house of commons period.
You've sure got that right my friend.
👍🏾🎯💯🧠👏🏾
Thanks, David. It seems to tick you off when people are hypocrites, following double standards. You look almost as frustrated as me with the utter nonsense. I have no problem as long as the rules are applied by the spirit, which this isn't. I would move that Poppies are political statements and should be warned. As well, I know all of the ONDP MPPs that sat there like statues and will be checking into that more. I hope that it was just shock, and Marit will be making a statement.
This ban inside the legislature is only one step toward their ultimate goal: criminalize the kaffiyeh in public, making it an arrestable offence.
Canadians are already being arrested for simply being against trudeau. So let's not pretend that those who are offended by this are willing to apply the same standard to regular Canadians who are arrested and discriminated against for their political views. Or how about the Christians who were arrested for holding mass during covid?
@HermitHorologist Someone's trying to give acts of terrorism a persecution façade, I believe.
@@michaeloconnor229 ummm no, chicken little the sky is not falling..
I do not understand how this became a thing..... Who cares that she is wearing a Keffyeh. How does this affect anything? It is part of her family's culture, I thought we are the most diverse province in the country.
Yes, but Ontario has some pretty strange laws like it is illegal to teach in any language other than English and French in this province. Sign language is also used, but who knows if that is legal or not?
I'm also looking at the three young people witnessing the event. The looks on their faces says far more than I can.
Mad props to Jama. Y'all should interview her on leftist mafia.
They see the double standard, they just don't care. The true reason they're against someone wearing the keffiyeh is because of who it represents and is associated with.
It is also why no-one will question Martin for wearing the dog tags.
I sincerely hope this racist behavior Will cause outrage among the people of Ontario ❤❤❤
Well, I am outraged.
Hypocrite and double standards of government policy
What ????? In Canada??? My heart hurt.
Imagine the *OUTRAGE* if she was wearing a yamulke
Leave her alone!
Aren't we all supposed to resist oppression?
At what point in this struggle does she get to just say no. They may remove her physically, but what a statement that would make. It would crush our cred on the world stage.
I am 70 years old, all my life I have been told we live in a free country, where the hell is that country, let her represent her constituents of this province and country, she was voted in with the Keffiyeh on.
When did the Muslims get the bad rap that they currently "enjoy"? I can remember my Jewish boyfriend from NYC having a civilized discussion about Jewish dietary laws with my Muslim ex-Ugandan room-mate for a school assignment back in 1973 in St John's, Newfoundland. My room-mate had an assignment from the School of Nursing to write about Jews' dietary laws. Unfortunately, my well-educated Jewish boyfriend, more or less secular, I guess, knew nothing about the Jewish kitchen. He thought his mother had a kosher kitchen because she had a separate set of dishes for Passover and she bought her meat at a kosher butcher. LOLOL! no evidence of meat and milk dishes being kept separate. There were no political overtones to the discussion at all. None. My room-mate was just seeking information from the only source she knew, my Jewish boyfriend. She might have done better contacting the local synagogue, I think.

This tells me also that Ottawa is in Upper Canada which essentially not that much different from lower Canada. If Ottawa was in BC there would be less chance of this happening. Not going to say zero chance
Def not zero. We in BC are further left, but we have people flying southern crosses in Chilliwack. Racism, especially against indigenous people, and pertinently anti-black racism, lives here too. It sucks, but there's no denying it. I realize this is about Palestine and her muslim identity, but let's not pretend her being Somali-Canadian is not involved in why this happened.
Here is a question, if an Ontario MPP wears a shirts saying, "THERE IS NO GOD!", what will they do?
This reminds me of the Quebec National Assembly (that's what they call their provincial legislature) banning public servants from wearing anything religious while a crucifix - since removed - hung above the speaker's chair. It's crazy. "Hey you, the cut of that suit looks a little Christian to me; get out!" The reality is simple, they don't want the browns and non-Christians in rooms of power.
The kilt was viewed similarly at one point in time.
After the Jacobite rising for the Bonny Prince, England banned all Scottish highland culture including clothing and language. It is now considered a historical cultural genocide.
It was called "the dress act" of 1746. Also Heritable Jurisdictions Act 1746 and Act of Proscription 1747
Remember this old folksong from the 1790s? ruclips.net/video/trwtHG-T--g/видео.html
They'd never ban the kippah. Just saying.
the Kiffeyeh does not belong to Jama's people
We need to know specifically who objects and why. No hidden bigotry in our house. If the concern is real, own it.
90% of these unless politicians need to be defunded.
Can’t vote? Is that not disenfranchising her constituents?
Proud of Sarah Jama!
Its also the same politician, Sarah Jama who was kicked out of her own party only because she supported Palestine.

@@loveandpeace8148 She makes good trouble as John Lewis would have said.
I would tell them to take a flying leap.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!
*Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $15,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD* ❤️
I feel sympathy and empathy for our country, low income earners are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Wayne. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I'm in a similar situation where should I look to increase income? Do you have any advice? What did you do ? Thank you
Well I engage in nice side hustles like inves'ting, and the good thing is I do it with one one of the best(Michael Wayne), he's really good!
Did someone just mention Mr Wayne!? Damn! You just made my day; what a coincidence.. I've worked with him for over 2years and I can tell how good he is
It's great to see you guys talking about
Michael Wayne, This man changed the game for me. Good Man ❤️
Even if it IS political.... they're all FRIGGIN POLITIcians!
I agree that this photo is history in the making…future generations of Ontario/canadian leaders will reflect on this moment
Before Oct 7th no one wore it, now it’s just political. What is it next month
It’s not political clothing! Shame Canada. I thought we were better than that. Her constituents voted her in.
The ruling was made by the speaker, I think. There is probably a way to properly contest it. Shame on Sarah Jama; who gets paid by Ontario taxpayers to address the concerns of Hamilton Center in CANADA to completely ignore the rules at Queen's Park. The 9477 Canadian citizens that did vote for her; probably want her to worry about the obvious housing, mental health and drug crisis in downtown Hamilton, Ontario
@@LouiseStensonthe constituents in Ontario want her to talk about those issues you mentioned and thus we don't support the decision to make her leave
@@iwatchwithnoads7480 Exactly why we should expect her to follow the rules and not get kicked out of the place most suited to talk about our day to day living in Ontario kinda concerns
@@LouiseStenson exactly why we should not support such oppressive "rules"
Let's not shame all of Canada for the actions of a few. I'm sure racist views are sadly not uncommon in Canada, like many places in the world, but the are also many Canadians who are not racist and understand human dignity and respect it, for the most part, baring our own human error from time to time.
We are going to need a new system, very soon. Capitalism breeds such division, hatred and inequality in society. It could not be a worse system for human prosperity, justice and peace. We can change, if we want to. But we need to be informed, and have others informed on the same page as us too.

Oh look. A man tellng a woman what she can and can not do. I'm shocked.
However, it goes both ways.
It's probably a man at her local place of worship which is telling her she's not worthy or accepted if she DOESN'T wear it.
Hair and body coverings are the impositions of men upon women.
My question is, are they really "free" if they are shunned or expelled from their social goups if they don't comply?
Excellent point. Especially since the threat of violence is far more common than expulsion from society.
To be morally consistent on this point you would have to be in favor of no restrictions on dress at all. I am, are you? Are you okay with people walking around naked? Modesty is entirely subjective is it not?
Good point, though it is NOT our place to force her to be like us just because WE don't like it
@@SeaCowsBeatLobsters No, I don't have a position at all other than, like reproductive freedom, they should be able to make their own choices without men telling them what those choices are.
Oh please, she does it for attention. Just like she made anti-semetic & offensive remarks for attention. Did she wear this scarf before oct 7? NO!!!!
