Washington Square Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced it will republish two novels by Palestinian writer Susan Abulhawa next month. This imprint once carried the names of Sartre, Buck, and Walker, yet now lends its prestige to fiction that frames the Jewish state as the eternal aggressor and the Palestinian cause as the sole victim of history.
The same house once commissioned years-long investigations into Vatican finances and pharmaceutical power without dictating the outcome. That precedent of editorial courage now stands exposed as selective when the target shifts to a nation whose survival touches the deepest covenants of Scripture and the West.
The Managerial Priesthood that controls these presses does not publish at random. It selects narratives that erode the legitimacy of ordered peoples and replace them with the abstract claims of the Dispossessor. Abulhawa’s work serves that purpose with precision.
Truth is not manufactured by institutional consensus. The Realists and the Reformed alike testify that being precedes opinion and that nations possess an objective right to defend their own continuity. When publishers invert this order they cease to transmit culture and begin to wage war upon it.
Western Christendom once required every guild and press to serve the common good under the crown and the cross. The collapse of that restraint after the revolutions of the eighteenth century opened the door to precisely this kind of ideological enlistment, where private corporations now act as unelected arbiters of memory and grievance.
Simon & Schuster’s choice therefore follows an established pattern: institutions captured by the spirit of the age weaponize literature against the survival of historic peoples. The Palestinian novels are not neutral additions to the catalog; they are instruments in the ongoing campaign to delegitimize Israel as the model of a covenant nation that refuses to dissolve.
The Faithful Remnant cannot rely on captured houses to preserve the record. Every volume issued from such presses carries the implicit demand that readers accept the new moral order in which national loyalty itself becomes suspect.
Those who still confess the sovereignty of God over peoples and the duty of fathers to transmit inheritance must therefore withdraw their custom and their capital from these presses. Parallel publishing houses, grounded in the creeds and the ancient liberties of Christian nations, must rise to replace them before the narrative of dispossession becomes the only story left in print.
