New York City (NYC) Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, appears to be just as radical as he, if not more so.
As previously reported, she liked social media posts that celebrated the Oct. 7 terror attack that left approximately 1,200 innocent Israelis dead.
But there’s more — much more.
It’s since been learned that Duwaji also produced artwork for an essay written by antisemitic Susan Abulhawa, with a history of describing Jewish people as “vampires,” “demons,” and “ghouls.”
The essay, “A Trail of Soap,” was tucked in “Every Moment is a Life,” a collection compiled by Abulhawa, a radical antisemite who previously described the Oct. 7 terror attack as “spectacular.”

Indeed, just days after the attack, she wrote a column in the “Electronic Intifada” in which she called the attack “a spectacular moment that shocked the world,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.
In the op-ed, Abulhawa also suggested that Israel had purposefully allowed the deadly, horrific terror attack to occur.
“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.
Her social media posts make it abundantly clear that she despises the Jewish people.
In December, she called Israelis “rootless, soulless ghouls”:
it was always about stealing more of our land. nothing is ever enough for these rootless, soulless ghouls. what you allow them to do to us will eventually catch up to you, and only then will you realize the terrible mistake you’ve made in allowing this cancer to metastasize. https://t.co/tMNlbkXqiP

In November, she described Israelis as “demonic parasite[s],” wrote that “Israel must be dismantled if humanity is going to have any chance at a moral future,” and vowed “revenge someday” against the “sons of satan.”
In September, she referred to Israel as a “cultureless, rootless human aberration in the form of a manufactured ‘nation'” and added that “we live in the time of jewish supremacist demons.”
That same month, she smeared a pro-Israel commentator as a “lying Jewish supremacist cockroach.”
A spokesperson for Mamdani has already dismissed the Beacon’s reporting by claiming that Duwaji never knew Abulhawa personally and had provided the artwork through a third party.
“As is common for freelance illustrators, the First Lady was commissioned to illustrate an excerpt of Abulhawa’s book by an outside publisher,” the spokesperson said. “She has never engaged with or met Susan Abulhawa, nor had she seen the tweets in question.”
If this were the only evidence against Duwaji, some might be inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. But it is, in fact, just a small piece of a much bigger, filthier pie of blatant Jew hatred.
Case in point: Duwaji has dismissed all the sexual violence that was committed by Hamas during the Oct. 7 terror attack as a “mass rape hoax.”
Meanwhile, she and her husband recently had dinner with Khalil Mahmoud, an Islamist who’s spoken openly about wanting to tear down all of Western civilization.
And according to the latest report, Duwaji once liked a picture of Hamas trotting out and humiliating a 12-year-old whom they’d kidnapped after killing his father:
NYC mayor Mamdanis wife liked this picture of twelve year old Yagil Yaakov who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th, his father was murdered. He was forced to strip infront of all these people and then abused.
Hamas posted this Pic.
