Palestinian women was not the kind of clothing one would expect to become a sign of political expression.</span> <span data-start-time='11875' data-end-time='20479'>The brightly colored, embroidered woman’s dress is known as a “thobe,” notes the Associated Press.</span> <span data-start-time='20479' data-end-time='31271'>Now the thobe is gaining popularity as a softer means of identifying with the fight for the establishment of a Palestinian state.</span> <span data-start-time='31271' data-end-time='43917'>It is even competing with the keffiyeh, the head covering worn by Palestinian men protesting Israel’s occupation of land they call their home.</span> <span data-start-time='43917' data-end-time='51792'>The thobe is covered with complex, colorful embroidery, all put together by hand.</span> <span data-start-time='51792' data-end-time='56167'>It requires months of hard work to make.</span> <span data-start-time='56167' data-end-time='61542'>Some thobes have been sold to buyers for thousands of dollars.</span> <span data-start-time='61542' data-end-time='75000'>The use of traditional cloth is a celebration of simpler times, when poor Palestinian women would make thobes while resting from a hard day’s work in the fields.</span> <span data-start-time='75000' data-end-time='83167'>Rashida Tlaib is the first female Palestinian American member of the United States Congress.</span> <span data-start-time='83167' data-end-time='90354'>Last month she wore her mother’s thobe at her official swearing-in ceremony.</span> <span data-start-time='90354' data-end-time='104063'>The move has led women around the world, especially in Palestinian territories, to publish pictures of themselves in traditional dress on the Twitter social networking service.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back' disabled='disabled'></button><button title='Play'
