Controversial Statements by Keith McNally and Pura Vida Owner Spark Boycotts in New York and Qatar

Famed New York restaurateur Keith McNally is facing a boycott from customers and fellow restaurant owners after posting a photo of the Hamas attack on Israel on Instagram with a caption advocating for listening to the other side. Many criticized McNally for his pro-Hamas stance and vowed never to eat at his restaurants again. McNally's partners reportedly asked him to take down the post, but he refused. The backlash comes after previous controversies, including comments about British people and banning James Corden from his restaurants.
