Several elected officials came to the defense of eastern Queens Council Member Vickie Paladino after a Brooklyn council member told her to repeat her pro-Israel sentiments “face to face,” instead of on social media.
The squabble began after Council Member Shahana Hanif, who represents the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Borough Park, posted a photo of a Brooklyn bodega on social media where the owner had put up signage calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
