A disgraced Palestinian author who has openly celebrated the murder of Jews and Christians has received a coveted book deal from Simon & Schuster, the prestigious New York City publishing house, the Washington Free Beacon can report.
Susan Abulhawa, who has attacked “Jewish Supremacist Vampires” and called Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre “a spectacular moment,” has reached an agreement for Atria Books, a Simon & Schuster imprint, to republish two of her novels in September.
Jessica Laino, a spokeswoman for Simon & Schuster, sent a press release in July to the Free Beacon trumpeting the news and praising Abulhawa’s “signature lyrical voice” and “nuanced characters.”
Laino said Atria would rerelease Abulhawa’s past novels Mornings in Jenin and The Blue Between Sky and Water on Sept. 29, 2026.
Atria is a prestigious imprint that has published bestselling authors such as Colleen Hoover, Brad Thor, Janet Evanovich, and Philippa Gregory.
Abulhawa first came to wide public attention months before after the Free Beacon revealed that Rama Duwaji, the N-word slinging, Oct. 7-celebrating wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, had provided illustrations for an essay published in the Abulhawa book Every Moment Is a Life.
The essay was published in February in Everything Is Political—an offshoot of self-described “environmental & social justice nonprofit organization” Slow Factory.
Abulhawa’s record of posting explosive content denigrating Jews and celebrating violencewas evident long before the Duwaji collaboration.
In one December 2025 post on X, Abulhawa wrote that Israelis are “rootless, soulless ghouls” and in September of that year called Israel a “cultureless, rootless human aberration in the form of a manufactured ‘nation,’” adding that “we live in the time of jewish supremacist demons.”
Also in September, Abulhawa described a pro-Israel commentator as a “lying Jewish supremacist cockroach” and bemoaned “Dual loyalty zionists.”
