Susan Abulhawa Rages at Mayor Mamdani for Throwing Her Under Bus — After He Distances Wife from Her Book – Twitchy

Yesterday, we told you about Zohran Mamdani’s wife illustrating a book for a woman who called the Jewish people ‘cockroaches’ among many other disparaging remarks and posts. 

Today, the author of the book responded.

Obviously, everyone is welcome to listen for themselves, but it is a bunch of nonsense, the same kind supporters of the mythical place of Palestine, often spew. Also, she’s mad Mamdani called her out. 

A searing yet graceful response to an act of political cowardice. This is real leadership. https://t.co/saep8jlCJw

Her supporters called Mamdani a coward. He is, but not for the reasons they think. He’s a coward because he actually believes what they believe, but he lies about it to stay in office.

All solidarity with my sister, the brilliant writer and human rights defender @SusanAbulhawa.
And to the NYC Mayor @ZohranKMamdani , a message: I know you are afraid. But forget what your aides are telling you. Fear is not a sound basis for politics at this moment in history.… https://t.co/SJblYYOXpR

This guy calls himself a ‘human rights ‘ lawyer but calls the Jewish people and their supporters concerned about this anti-Semitism ‘This paid zombie army of malicious Zionist trolls and their shamelessly complicit media organizations’. Very clearly, he doesn’t believe in rights for one group of people.

Not ONE word of compassion for the 1200 murdered in Israel and what started the war. No empathy for anyone but those perpetual victims, the Palestinians, as if they bear no responsibility in the last 100 years for their refusal to EVER HAVE PEACE.

It never was a genocide.…

She doesn’t see Jewish people as actual people. She doesn’t believe Jewish people have human rights. People must wake up to what people like Susan and Mamdani, for that matter, actually believe.

You clearly do not know how the term antisemitism came about or anything about Jews. You are also an Arab, which means you are from Arabia. Do you need help finding this on the map?

Jews have lived continuously in the land of Israel for over 3300 years, at least 1800 years before the first Arab invasions. They are the original inhabitants of the land, and represent the first, but not the last, indigenous group of people in the Middle East to decolonise their…

Pure hatred. A soul of evil. Obviously raised by depraved parents who passed down such a sad philosophy on life and obsessed about the Jews. This darkness comes from somewhere. It’s sad to see.

It’s also sad to see so many buying it without questioning just because this woman says so. 

Too many people are focused on defending Rama, who can speak for herself, instead of defending Susan Abulhawa, who was actually thrown under the bus by Mamdani.

As usual, it’s Palestinians who end up paying the price.

Susan Abulhawa is arguably the most well-known Palestinian… https://t.co/1XD84mUVqH

The Hamas supporters are BIG mad at Mamdani for trying to distance his wife from the author. Likely, he’ll feel the need to come back with some act to show he’s still a tried and true Israel hater. Stay tuned.
