Abulhawa has a documented history of public statements referring to Israelis as “rootless soulless ghouls” and “Jewish supremacist demons,” describing the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack as a “spectacular” moment, and using terms such as “cockroaches” against critics. She has also called for Israel to be dismantled.
The deal follows earlier attention to Abulhawa’s collaboration with illustrator Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani later called some of Abulhawa’s rhetoric “patently unacceptable and reprehensible.”
Simon & Schuster did not provide further comment on the decision.
Dear Susan Abulhawa,
I remember when Muslim residents of the eastern Mediterranean were referred to by others and referred to themselves as “Arabs.” Perhaps you are familiar with the word. Originally, it referred to the large peninsula located between the Mediterranean coast and India, called the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabians (Arabs, for short) were the first (or at least one of the first) colonizers of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Don’t try to convince me that Islam spread into Turkey, Serbia, Albania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkmenistan Uzbekistan, Tagikistan, etc. by Arab armies patiently explaining the beauty of monotheism, the Quran, and Islam to idol worshippers, Christians and Jews. What happened to the Jews who, the Quran tells us, lived in Mecca in the seventh century?
Briefly, the Jewish country of Israel is not “yours.” You and your ancestors (incestors?) had no objection to the area being ruled by the Muslim Turks for about 500 years. The Turks lost the real estate in WWII to the British who, working with the League of Nations, governed it as a mandate for about 30 years and vacated it on May 14, 1948. Five or six Arab armies invaded Israel the following day. They lost. Compare the European involvement in the creation of the State of Israel with the European involvement in the creation of the countries of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.
You state “WWII [was] the first war where Americans fought and were killed for the sake of Jewish supremacy theft of Palestine.” Congratulations on your astonishing skill in asserting wild, unfounded allegations against my coreligionists and the State of Israel. As a matter of fact, the first war in which the Jewish people prevailed on the Americans to enter and be killed was the War of 1812. My proof for this fact is that 18+12=30, and every Jew who is at least 31 years old was once 30. That cannot be a coincidence.
You have written dastardly things about Jews generally and Israelis in particular. That makes you a real dastard. Yes, it’s in the dictionary.

Why’s she wearing a kaffiyeh (and as a shall – no less), she should be wearing a burka.
This vixen makes outrageous, slanderous and fantasized accusations. Twisting facts and blending lies and half-truths in her diatribe. That said, I too can be accused of insulting cockraches by comparing them to Palestinians and thinking that that dratted mass of savages in Gaza are soulless. So its all a question of POV…
He who laughs last laughs BEST.
Guess Simon & Shuster ( it’s Jewish sounding names ) so I guess it’s like Churchill said about the capitalism “ they’ll sell you the rope you want to hang them on “
I didn’t think Palestinians read books let alone wrote them
