Depoliticizing the workplace: New York City museum fires 3 employees for violating dress code by wearing keffiyehs
[IsraelTimes] Noguchi Museum frets emblem of Palestinian solidarity could ‘alienate segments’ of visitors’; one fired attendant accuses institute of ‘weaponizing’ rules against cause

New York City’s Noguchi Museum said on Wednesday it fired three employees after they violated its updated dress code by wearing keffiyeh head scarves, which have become an emblem of solidarity with the Paleostinian cause.

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, some demonstrators have worn the black-and-white keffiyeh head scarf as a show of solidarity with Paleostinians. Israel’s supporters say it is provocative and a sign of backing extremism.

Last month, the art museum — founded by Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi — announced a policy prohibiting employees from wearing anything that expressed "political messages, slogans or symbols."

"While we understand that the intention behind wearing this garment was to express personal views, we recognize that such expressions can unintentionally alienate segments of our diverse visitorship," it said in a statement.

Natalie Cappellini, one of the three gallery attendants who was fired, took to Instagram to say the museum leadership was weaponizing the term "political" against the Paleostinian cause.

Rooters was unable to reach the other two fired employees.

The keffiyeh has long been a symbol of Paleostinian nationalism, exemplified by the late Paleostine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, who was rarely photographed without one.

There are previous instances in the United States of people losing jobs due to action they took over their stance on the Israel-Hamas war.

A New York City hospital fired a Paleostinian American nurse in May after she called Israel’s actions in Gaza a "genocide" during an acceptance speech for an award.
