Thing is, it's not just Goldman's wife who publicly and privately expresses hatred and disdain for Palestinians and Jews who disagree with him about Israel. I have personally watched as Rep. Dan Goldman called Palestinians *"sub-human"* at a public forum in my Democratic Club. That is a direct quote. No one with such views is fit to represent Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn in Congress.
I called Rep. Goldman after that meeting to express my dismay. On the phone with me, he did not deny or apologize, but rather walked back the statement to say he only meant certain terrorists. This is insufficient. First off, Goldman is a Congress Member and a lawyer and knows damn well his words matter.
He should have clarified in public. Second, it is a scientific fact that those terrorists are and were full human beings. Human beings do terrible things. All the time. Very often, those terrible things start with denying other people's humanity.
This Times story just reinforces that the Goldman family believes that people of differing races and religions deserve different rights and treatment.
Dan Goldman is a human being like the rest of us. He deserves some grace. But he's unfit to be our Congressman. Please vote him out in June.

From a well-connected Facebook friend. Dan Goldman is not fit to be in Congress. Luckily you have a fine alternative in Brad Lander

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

We all know that Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer will effectively stand up to Trump’s blatantly illegal war.

Either the cops are lying (shocker) or the Yankees should sign whoever managed to injure these big strong cops with a snowball.

I hope you all see what's happening: The cops and a bunch of bad-faith "influencers" are manufacturing a crisis over a snowball because they have nothing to hold over the mayor while crime in NYC continues its years-long decline. Watch carefully who plays along with this charade.
