The State Library of NSW has apologised after a security guard removed a student wearing a traditional Palestinian scarf. The library posted an apology on its Instagram page, explaining the guard had asked the student wearing the keffiyeh to leave the building, in the Sydney CBD. It said management had since spoken to the guard involved. “We want to extend our sincerest apologies to the student affected by this incident and encourage them to get in touch with the Library,” the statement said.
Israel’s bombardment of Gaza sparked international outcry as the enclave was pummelled with airstrikes following October 7, 2023, while being restricted from aid, fuel and medical supplies. People globally have worn the keffiyeh as a symbol of solidarity with the 36,000 Palestinians killed.
