Around 60 people held a vigil for the 1,200 people killed and called for action to support Jewish constituents. Hanif, who represents Kensington, Boro Park, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, and Cobble Hill, recently attributed the violence to Israel’s actions, calling it “the illegal, immoral, and unjust occupation of the Palestinian people.”

Meanwhile, in Central Park, a larger gathering showed support for hostages taken by Hamas. Yael Alexander, mother of hostage Edan Alexander, expressed the pain of not knowing her son’s whereabouts, pleading for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid. “Our hearts are broken, but we won’t stop fighting for his return,” she told supporters.

She was my councilwoman until last year, so I’m still on her mailing list. (she represented a good part of boro park) Besides being an anti semite she is so left wing she makes Bill Deblasio and Brad Lander look conservative

Only way this beast of a councilwoman will ever learn is when y’all get your acts together and vote her out of office for good and make sure she never ever gets elected to any office even dog catcher again.

She has to be voted out. She is a Hamas supporter, a Progressive Leftist who hates Jews. The Muslims, Chinese and Hispanics supported her. She is a problem for the Jews. She is an anti Semite. I don’t know how her district was carved out, but she is a Soneh Yisroel.

Vote Against Hanif – if you are in her district – tells this to anyone you know in her district.
