"Councilwoman Hanif is well-known as the Council's most prominent antisemite ... so it's not shocking that she finds comfort at a restaurant marketing 'River to the Sea,' which is a genocidal chant signifying the violent effort to end Jewish people," fumed Councilman Kalman Yeger, a Brooklyn Democrat who is Jewish.
Hanif - who was tapped to co-chair the City Council's new Task Force to Combat Hate - has blamed Israel for inciting Hamas' murderous Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state, and has called "the root cause" of the resulting war "the illegal, immoral, and unjust occupation of the Palestinian people."
