NYCITY NewsService confirms what District 39 residents already know: Hanif has inflamed tensions, aligned with extremist groups, and dismissed Jewish concerns. From liking tweets that call for “Globalizing the Intifada” to voting against “End Jew Hatred Day,” her record isn’t misunderstood—it’s indefensible. Central Brooklyn deserves better.
With graduations, summer travel, and year-end events fast approaching, voters are urged to make a plan now to participate in New York City’s June 24 Democratic Primary.

The process is easier than ever, with the NYC Board of Elections offering ballot tracking tools to ensure your vote is counted. Voting options include in-person voting during the nine-day Early Voting period, voting by mail, or casting a ballot on Election Day.
Antisemitic graffiti is spreading across Park Slope, yet Council Member Shahana Hanif shrugs it off—telling constituents last year she’s “OK” with “Free Palestine” tags.

With over $24,000 raised in just one week, Ye’s campaign is gaining strong momentum.
Facing a tough primary, anti-Israel Councilmember Shahana Hanif is desperately scrubbing her website of radical positions—like defunding the police and abolishing prisons.

Facing a serious primary challenge, Councilmember Shahana Hanif is frantically walking back her radical record—deleting anti-police posts, softening anti-Israel rhetoric, and privately apologizing for boosting “globalize the intifada.” Voters aren’t fooled. Her calculated pivot reveals a politician more concerned with survival than principle or the safety of her Jewish constituents.
