Op-Ed: Brooklyn Councilman Brannan Kowtows to Local Hamas Supporters
Briefly

Councilman Justin Brannan has remained silent about Hamas supporters in his district, believing it may aid his political aspirations in the 2025 Democratic primary.
Brannan's past associations, including attending events with Imam Sheikh Muhammad Al-Barr, raise questions about his commitment to confronting hate speech and rhetoric within his community.
His lack of condemnation following a vigil for Ismail Haniyeh and support for protesters displaying Hamas flags indicates a troubling alignment with those sympathetic to terrorism.
Despite violence during protests, Brannan defended the demonstrators, suggesting that their actions did not warrant the police's aggressive response, demonstrating a tendency to excuse the actions of those carrying terrorist symbolism.
