Dunkin’ Donuts has yanked an ad featuring Rachael Ray because it features the Food Network star wearing what looks like a keffiyeh, a popular headdress scarf worn by Arab men. Why pull it? The large cloth, which comes in black- and red-checked designs, has become associated with Palestinians, especially former Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat.
