Mamdani claims that his wife, Rama Duwaji, didn’t know this when she did the illustration. That might be believable if the author were a patriot who supported Israel. But here Mamdani is clearly just trying to cover up his own deep Jew-hatred.
Mayor Mamdani says his wife, Rama Duwaji, was not aware of anti-Israel posts (like calling some Israeli citizens “parasites”) from an author she illustrated an essay for.

“Zohran Mamdani’s Wife Provided Illustration for Essay by Author Who Called Oct 7 ‘Spectacular’ and Attacked ‘Jewish Supremacist Vampires,'” by Jon Levine, Washington Free Beacon, March 12, 2026:
Rama Duwaji, the first lady of New York City, provided a featured illustration for an essay by an author who called Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack “spectacular,” has frequently decried what she describes as “Jewish supremacist vampires,” and said Jewish Israelis are “rootless soulless ghouls.”
Duwaji, wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D., N.Y.), provided a drawing for “A Trail of Soap,” an essay in the collection Every Moment is a Life compiled by Susan Abulhawa. The essay, published last month in Everything Is Political—an offshoot of self-described “environmental & social justice nonprofit organization” Slow Factory—details a Gazan woman’s attempt to find a bathroom in the territory.
Abulhawa, an author and anti-Israel activist, has a long history of supporting terror and demonizing Jews. 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 Oct. 7 offering thinly veiled attacks against Israelis, “Zionists,” and “Jewish supremacists” on social media.
She wrote in one December post on X that Israelis are “rootless, soulless ghouls” and in September 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.”…

So the “first lady” his wife has no say or influence on him politically ? Is she like a washing machine ,or other appliance in Gracey Mansion the taxpayer’s funded residence the mayor and his “better half” currently lives in ? They are married ,do they talk and live together is this a real married why was it keep secret when he was running for mayor that he was married ? Now she illustrated on paid commission a job for some anti-Semitic jihadist propaganda book and has no idea what it was a story about? How can you illustrated a book without knowing what the book is about ,what you must depict in picture form ? What context the pictures represent ,if you are illustrating say Moby Dick you would have sea scenes, whales, whaling boats ,harpoons ect. If are illustrating a book about elves you draw elf like people .I like to see this book and see how she represented the Jews in it would it resemble the way Jews where drawn in cartoons in the late 1930s in Nazi propaganda? Of coarse his crowd of progressives are moaning in that clip that anyone would question this wizard of Oz kind of mayor who promising them rainbows ,unicorns ,and close to free housing should have known his wife’s job doing illustrations for a blood libel against Jews she is totally innocent of knowing it ?

Odd that I cannot find this illustration–why is no one posting it?

These Muslims are simply following Allah’s Qur’an against Jews AND Christians. Allah in Qur’an 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”

A 2025 report from the Center for Immigration Studies indicated that approximately 81% of Somali households in Minnesota use at least one form of welfare, compared to 21% of native households.
Who are the parasites again?
Cynthia says
His deep hatred for Israel and Jews is bit by bit exposed, no matter his lying words.
In addition to this book, Mamdani’s wife has given likes to vile posts that praise the October 7 massacre by Hamas and civilian terrorists of Gaza.
WPM says
The progressives ,Moslems ,haters of western culture ,and free stuff crowd living on the dole could careless about anti Sematic books or propaganda in NYC. They think it will not effect them if the jihadist are mainly going after the Jews and Christians in NYC .They do not remember or where not born when the communist and others where hung by construction canes in the streets of Iran in 1979-1980 after the take over of Iran by full Islamic sharia law. The list of enemies for Islam to enslave or kill is long the Jews just happen to be number one on the list.

His hatred for Israel was well known going into the election. Problem is that NYC demographics have heavily changed since 2001: those who didn’t die in the following years from diseases related to those attacks or from Covid have since moved out of there and gone to other places in the country. In the meantime, that place is overrun by the same sort of vagrants that used to be there under Dinkins and DeBlassio
On top of that, if a city has one party rule, all that jihadists have to do is gain control of the party, as the DSA has done, and then that city is theirs for keeps
WPM says
True I will be moving out soon it is done put a fork in it
.It will go the way of London for the same reason ,I also blame republicans for no even having a primary in the mayor race that would have brought up issues about the reality the turn out was the lowest in the history on a mayoral race in the city . It was a perfect shit storm you had corrupt Adams who at the end of his term seen the trouble illegal immigration did to the city (he drop out of the race before the election a true coward) ,Cuomo who killed thousands with his nursing home COVD policy in 2020 resign because of it from being governor and an idiot public advocate near do well all running against a smiling drama kid salesman jihadist who would be at home selling junk at a flea in some Africa shithole to gullible idiots those idiots fell for it all voting for him.

Yeah, instead of that joker Curtis Sliwa, the GOP should have had a primary, and even put up the Conservative candidate Irene Estrada. The least they could have done was accumulate all non-(D) votes behind her, and let Cuomo and Mamdani split the (D) vote. They could have had a fighting chance
Good that you’re moving out of there. Wish you a successful relocation to wherever you’re headed

The Muslim woman, Rama Duwaji,, who is the wife of Zohran Madmani must obviously hates the Jewish people as much as her Husband does , since she actually praised the October 7th 2023 that Hamas Muslim massacre of the Jewish citizens of the State of Israel . She also called the Jews “parasites.” Maybe she likes the childish action of name calling.
It should be remembered that Madmani had said that “Israel should not exist.”
Mamdani is very anti-Jewish and likewise anti- Israel So much so that before he had decided to run for mayor, he had declared that he wanted to “Globalize the Intifada “To this very day he has not denounced or retracted that statement.
In addition, Mamdani is member of a mosque that called for the annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel. After all, Islam is very ant-Jewish and therefore anti- Israel.
That despicable hostile and vicious anti-Jewish hating Zohran Mamdani. Is a reminder that the former United States President, William Howard Taft had in a speech, rightly and wisely, declared, “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed, that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
Likewise, there should be no place in America for Mamdani or either his wife.
Walter Sieruk says
Since the former United States President, William Howard Taft had in a speech, wisely, spoke the truthful statement that “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed, that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
There is also the additional statement of wisdom spoken by the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Therefore, both Mamdani and his wife, Rama Duwaji, are by the Islamic spirit and mindset very un-American at heart.
In addition, that Duwaji had praised that horrendously evil murderous action of the Muslims terrorists of Hamas had committed on October 7th 2023 , she by doing that had exposed to things about herself.
First, she exposed he callous malice -filled and vicious violent and deadly jihadist way of thinking.
Second she exposed he terribly lawless heart for the Bible reveals that “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked…” Proverbs 28:4. [N.K.J.V.]
OLD GUY says
One thing I can’t understand is why the Republican Party couldn’t find a candidate that could legitimately run against Mamdani.
gravenimage says
New Yorkers do tend to be liberal. But there is of course *nothing* liberal about Islam. If I lived in NYC I would literally have voted for *anyone* but Mamdani.

They fled NYC. They saw the writing on the wall.

Mamdani’s wife illustrated essay for author who praised Oct. 7 jihad massacre, called Jews ‘parasites’
…………………………………………………………………….
It was said at forst that she just “liked” a post praising 10/7, and may not have read it very carefully.
Well, I’m an illustrator–and I would never illustrate any article that I had not ever bothered to read.
PATRIOT64 says
Mamdani and his wife are both a Clear and Present Danger to the people of the City of New York. The Governor of NY is especially a Dangerous individual to the State of New York and it’s Citizens.
