First Shake Shack opening in Israel denounced as famine spreads in Gaza

The grand opening of the first Shake Shack location in Tel Aviv has sparked backlash, as it coincides with growing famine in Gaza as a result of Israel stopping aid. 

According to Haaretz, groups of young people lined up for the opening.

However, online, many social media users have called for a boycott of the fast-food giant. 

“Shake Shack has opened in Israeli territory in a time of genocide. Shut its branches in the Arab world!” one social media user said. 

Others suggested alternatives to the chain. 

“If you're in Kuwait, try the awesome Kuwaiti burger shop "Fat Cap" and you'll thank me later,” another said.
