Simon & Schuster Vows To Publish Author Who Calls Jews 'Roaches': Publisher Still Claims It Opposes Antisemitism...

Simon & Schuster confirmed plans to reissue two books by author Susan Abulhawa, who has referred to Jews as "roaches." A senior editor issued a statement opposing antisemitism while declaring that Abulhawa's personal views remain her own and will not affect publication.

The decision has drawn criticism for proceeding with an author known for anti-Jewish rhetoric despite the publisher's public claims of rejecting antisemitism.
