"Balthazar Owner Sparks Fury with Controversial Post on Hamas Terror Attack"

Keith McNally, owner of popular New York City restaurants Balthazar and Pastis, faced backlash after suggesting that Israel should "listen to the other side" following the deadly Hamas terror attacks. McNally's Instagram post showing Hamas rockets flying into Israel sparked outrage among his loyal diners, with many criticizing his stance and vowing to boycott his establishments. McNally defended his position, revealing his Jewish heritage and past experiences in Israel, but failed to sway his followers. This is in contrast to his previous actions of donating money to help Ukraine during Russia's invasion, where he emphasized the importance of listening to both sides.
