I just got an email from Hirbawi which reads as follows:

Dear [Name]
We are delighted to announce that all pre-orders prior to the 16th October will now be shipped, and those who ordered will be emailed today with their tracking details.
It was an adventure to say the least.
After many pickups and dropoffs, our drivers were eventually able to pass through the valleys around Hebron by using dirt roads.
Despite being blocked at four different Israeli checkpoints, we kept trying, and eventually succeeded in passing through the fifth checkpoint.

With another section down below:

Next Shipment? We are now working on getting our next shipment across the West Bank border and past the Israeli blockade.
The factory is working flat out to resupply Black & White Kufiyas as these have been the most popular choice for wearing in support and solidarity for Palestine.
We are forever grateful that so many of you were willing to pre-order a Hirbawi Kufiya, despite the uncertainty due to the ongoing blockade.

In other words: They're making it work somehow. Get yourself a fancy handmade scarf for way cheaper than you'd expect, and directly support Palestinians.

If you're a white devil like me and concerned about the optics of wearing traditional middle-eastern clothing, maybe take a look at this article for the opinion of the Palestinians in question themselves. In short: It's a good opportunity to start conversations about Palestine and normalize visible support for their struggle. Go nuts.

Any of the ones that don't say preorder are available for the next shipment they can get out there.

I have one of these! its great. I like the palestine flag colors but black and white might be more versatile

Also the West Bank can actually put funds to use more readily right now and is facing its own increased settler violence. This is also solidarity, comrades.

Though please do remember to apologize for being white to your nearest Maoist.
