I love my olive green keffiyeh; it's truly beautiful. As a Puerto Rican, I support the Palestinian struggle for liberation and the right to live on their land, to own their land in their nation. For me, it's personal because Puerto Rico was also invaded in 1898, and don't own most of our lands. There are more Puerto Ricans living abroad than in Puerto Rico, just like the Palestinians. Puerto Ricans don't possess Puerto Rican citizenship, only second-class citizenship under the US occupation. Puerto Ricans are also displaced by US colonial policies and economic strangulation. Approximately 70% of two of our municipalities (Vieques and Culebra) were used as military training grounds for war games and testing weapons while poisoning the native residents with depleted uranium and Agent Orange. Until this day, the lands are contaminated with radioactive waste, missiles, land mines, and tanks. Puerto Rico and Palestine are two nations under colonial occupation. Free Palestine forever! from Puerro Rico with love. 🇵🇸 ❣️🇵🇷
