PROFITING OFF TERROR: Amazon Selling Book Published By Hamas Leader Sinwar Shortly After Oct. 7 Massacre


Booksellers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble, have sparked outrage for selling a novel written by Hamas leader Yahya Al-Sinwar, the mastermind behind the October 7 massacre. The book, “The Thorn and The Carnation”, is described as a thinly veiled autobiography and was published in English in December 2023, just two months after the atrocities.

The book’s blurb touts Al-Sinwar’s role in the worst antisemitic atrocity since the Holocaust, describing how the book offers a glimpse into the mind of a terrorist leader. The Board of Deputies of British Jews has urged Amazon to remove the listing, arguing that the book can be used to propagate terrorist ideology and raise funds for a proscribed organization.

The novel was written during Al-Sinwar’s 22-year imprisonment in Israeli prisons and has been widely condemned. Booksellers are facing criticism for profiting from the sale of a book written by a terrorist leader.

“This book can be used to propagandize on behalf of a proscribed terrorist organization and also to raise money for it,” said the Board of Deputies of British Jews. “We urge Amazon to take the listing down immediately.”

    It was 1989, and Hamas was in its early stages with only 500 members. Koubi understood the grave danger Israel was facing from this terrorist organization and warned Israeli leaders. “I told them, ‘Let’s eliminate them now when they’re still small before it grows to monstrous proportions.’ They were all in our hands, in our prison. I knew back then that Hamas wouldn’t surrender; they fight to be martyrs. I remember interrogating Sinwar; he had the piercing eyes of a murderer. This man was completely emotionless, a brutal killer.

    I called him a Nazi and told everyone possible that this organization must be eliminated, but they didn’t listen to me.

    We found many ‘Mein Kampf’ books in his house as well as rubber knives. He was in charge of education in Gaza and would distribute them in day care to two-year-olds, where they would hold a competition over who would kill more Jews. By the age of four, they would receive wooden guns. Later, when they grew up to be teenagers, he would train them to shoot rifles and teach them how to be martyrs. The same children he trained are the killers of the Nukhba today.”
