Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, provided the featured illustration for an essay by an author who called Hamas’s October 7 attack “spectacular“ and has decried what she calls “Jewish supremacist vampires,” the Free Beacon’s Jon Levine reports. The essay that the illustration accompanies, “A Trail of Soap,” penned by the anti-Israel activist Susan Abulhawa, was published last month, well after Mamdani became mayor of New York City. Abulhawa “has a long history of supporting terror and demonizing Jews,” writes Levine. “Just days after Oct. 7, she wrote an op-ed in Electronic Intifada in which she called the massacres ‘a spectacular moment that shocked the world’ and insinuated that Israel allowed the attack to happen. ‘Whether or not Israel indeed knew of the plans in advance, those few freedom fighters inspired not only the whole of Palestine, but the oppressed masses worldwide, to imagine what freedom looks like; what resistance is possible; and what life is attainable,’ she wrote.” Abulhawa has spent the years since then “offering thinly veiled attacks against Israelis, ‘Zionists,’ and ‘Jewish supremacists’ on social media,” writing in two recent X posts that Israelis are “rootless, soulless ghouls” and that “we live in the time of jewish supremacist demons.” Abulhawa’s essay was published in Everything Is Political, published by the self-described “environmental & social justice nonprofit organization” Slow Factory, which was also behind the celebratory October 7 posts Duwaji liked on Instagram. In that case, Mamdani called his wife a “private person” who does not share the same “responsibility” to answer questions about her “thoughts.” Reached for comment on the illustration, a Mamdani spokeswoman said Duwaji “was commissioned to illustrate an excerpt of Abulhawa’s book by an outside publisher” and “has never engaged with or met Susan Abulhawa.” The author has, however, defended Duwaji on X, where she boasts more than 50,000 followers.
