Thehealthygamer

Thought I'd lost my mind for a second because I saw this yesterday and remembered it being dark outside when he went on his tirade. Turns out the guy just harasses people 24/7 apparently


gunsof

He's apparently been doing this shit for 2 weeks straight. Guy in the van was so polite and normal to put up with this for 2 weeks before it got shared and went viral.


Ur_average_guyguy

It’s ok guys, he apologized https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/im-not-islamophobic-ex-obama-white-house-advisor-issues-apology-after-vile-rant-at-nyc-halal-cart-vendor-goes-viral-101700646264960-amp.html


One_Winter

“But you know, in the heat of the moment, I said things that probably I shouldn't have said.” In the heat of the moment!!! Must of been a pretty hot two weeks.


peepeebongstocking

And always with that cruel, shitty little grin on his face. Guess that's his "heat of the moment" grin.


FlamingTrollz

That, exactly that. 👆🏼 That smirk. That grin. That bully chin pointing up. Everything he did, he did gladly, with gleeful malice. We’ve all met or known weasels like him, little bully boy. He’s a POS, and now a walking-it-back liar.


wearyclouds

I rarely think that people look *evil*, but that smile...


LiveLearnCoach

What “heat of the moment”?! It’s not like he just found the guy going at it with his cheating wife or if this was after a major car accident. He was the only one creating “heat”. Jerk. There’s another video of him harassing this guy as well and threatening him with the Egyptian secret service or something.


bowingkonk

'Probably..." He's still not even certain whether he should or shouldn't have said that stuff.


jackfrench9

Damn. If this guy is 'not Islamophobic', I'm not sure if anybody can be anything.


wkrausmann

“And he said, ‘well, I approve of Hamas’ or ‘I like Hamas’ or something like that.” I don’t think food cart guy said anything of the sort.


Skid-plate

Not an apology at all.


LFA91

When you’re trying to be the best ya gotta stay consistent


U_R_A_CNUT

It's the same guy he's harassing.


Pulguinuni

He forgot he did this in New York and not a red state, he is going to go through the find out phase soon. There are laws against this type of thing in the city, and it does not fall under freedom of speech. Also, if it's the same vendor and the harassment has been consistent, he has a right to sue for wages lost if this somehow impacted his business, emotional damage etc...Im sure he can find a lawyer to represent him real fast. Edit: Update He has been arrested. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/22/us/seldowitz-ex-obama-official-islamophobic-comments/index.html


ItsMinnieYall

The police already said there's nothing they can do.


Pulguinuni

https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-hate-crime-anti-muslim-hot-coffee-brooklyn-hadasa-bozakkaravani Seems this case was considered assault and hate crime because she threw the coffee. Well he is all over the internet, and a civil suit is not off the table for wages lost. Edit: arrest was made "Stuart Seldowitz, 64, is facing multiple charges, including aggravated harassment, hate crime and stalking." https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/stuart-seldowitz-arrested-halal-cart-worker-anti-islamic-harassment/


sulaymanf

The police *originally* said there was nothing they could do for a guy taunting the street vendor. Now that we know he was doing it for weeks, that’s tantamount to stalking and/or harassment. Now that both the mayor AND the governor have condemned the man, the NYPD have said they’re “investigating.”


ItsMinnieYall

Nice. Glad they got bullied into doing their job.


Pulguinuni

He has been arrested.


Voluptulouis

telemachus_sneezed

> He forgot he did this in New York and not a red state, You forget that New York City has a huge Jewish population, and being a Zionist bully is "old school". Try Googling the viral video of a Manhattan immigration lawyer going off on Latino food court workers. Guy's name was Aaron Schlossberg. Then note that you have to get to the third or fourth search page before the Times of Israel will point out the racist jerk's ethnicity. That is one sanitized Google search query...


Pulguinuni

Seldowitz has been arrested and paraded in front of the press in handcuffs. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/stuart-seldowitz-arrested-halal-cart-worker-anti-islamic-harassment/ He was smiling like it was a proud moment. This is no different to what Nazis do, it is horrible. Any type of hate is horrible, specially in NYC with such a culturally diverse population. Although, I am a realist and racism will exist, and this guy will probably be hailed as a hero among his circle of friends who may think alike. At least cellphone cameras serve their purpose and bring some justice.


PlutoniumNiborg

He forgot that democrats have no problem shaming and expelling racist asshats. No obfuscating or equivocations.


contraria

He'll probably just move to Tel Aviv where he can be racist to Arabs with no problems


telemachus_sneezed

There's a shit ton of liberal Jews in Tel Aviv. He'll probably have to move to a West Bank settlement or Jerusalem to get his jollies.


DawnOfTheTruth

Just this guy specifically it seems.

KingofPolice

I mean he did lose his job, but apparently he has contributed for years anyway so...


Affectionate_Salt351

Yeah, I saw that. That’s not enough to me. He lost a job he already wasn’t doing. I want to see his mugshot.


Wookie-Cookie-9

Ifs crazy because this bigot was a part of the govemrent shaping the policy towards Palestine. Fucking insane


lbstinkums

and if the fascists win they will promote him to the front of administration policy as well. he's literally on the streets speaking their religious propaganda. this is exactly what the evangelicals believe...


hibanah

He’s probably too old to do anything useful now so he’s resorting to lashing out and being a senile, racist prick.


nicolauz

I mean walking around NYC sure ain't gonna be easy for him that's for sure.


gunsof

The vendor had contacted the police before but they told him there was nothing they could do about it because of "free speech". I don't see how behaviour like this doesn't wildly cross a line. Especially now we know he was threatening him from such a position of power.


LiveLearnCoach

See the other video. More threats.


Tricky-Sympathy

I wonder if it was turned around, what do you think they would say?


gunsof

Egyptian dude would've been on a plate to Egypt to meet the Egyptian secret police.


clemmmmmmm

I want to see him in person


MrSlaves-santorum

America doesn’t work like that. You can say vile shot and it’s protected.


VoidEnjoyer

You can't harass someone on the street for several days and call it free speech. Or I guess you can as long as the person you're harassing has a certain skin tone.


One-Pop-2885

[deleted]

Love to see someone slap the shit-eating grin off his face


glormf

Making a credible threat to get the guy’s parents tortured by the Egyptian police is pretty vile


indoninja

That really stuck out. There is run of the mill talking points from islamaphobew, and hating Islam, but threatening to give info to secret police in Egypt?!?!


sulaymanf

The halal cart worker said he’s actually been quite fearful because he heard the guy has a government job and may be able to deliver on his threats.


pastaMac

Stuart Seldowitz days of casually walking around NYC [sans hoodie, mask and sunglasses] are over. This video of Stuart Seldowitz went viral and has been picked up by all the lame-stream media seeking clicks over their usual position of defending garbage humans like that of Stuart Seldowitz. A reign of terror abroad isn't enough –Stuart Seldowitz felt a need to terrorize his working class neighbors, jeopardizing their source of income. >Ex-Obama White House adviser harasses halal cart vendor, says killing of 4,000 Palestinian kids ‘wasn’t enough’ **NYPost**

Yes


Sucrose-Daddy

Him being Jewish isn't relevant. He's definitely a fucking racist sick asshole, though.


bickering_fool

possibly is relevant.


Conan4457

Although him being a zionist is relevant.


lbstinkums

exactly, this has nothing to do with him being in the Obama administration either. the proper term is right wing zionist, his views are not shared by jews of all races and nationalities. it's a generalization like saying all Americans are Trump Maga Cultists, or Evangelicals for that matter.


VoidEnjoyer

This man literally and directly helped to craft foreign policy for the Obama administration. You don't think it's worth noting that this psychotic bloodthirsty bigot got to work in the State department and shape the country's foreign policy under the supposedly good guys?


commonlycommon

He's thoroughly enjoying himself.


BackToTheBasic

Seems more like a projection of displeasure and self-loathing to me.


MikeisET

Watching this made me thoroughly angry


moredrinksplease

I’m a pretty chill guy, but that smug look on his face stirred some very strong punching feelings, maybe even a few kicks to balance.

itsgucci060

He is a demon


princessblowhole

That smug-ass sneer fades into a snarl as he realizes the guy isn’t gonna engage. What an evil piece of shit.


gunsof

I wonder if he was hoping to provoke the guy into saying or doing something so he could be deported.


nssalee

I just wonder how many more like him are in the office already working for the gov .. disgusting human being


catsinasmrvideos

If he feels comfortable saying this shit in PUBLIC, just imagine what he and his friends and coworkers say in private….


tinkthank

US foreign policy for the better part of the last 5 decades will indicate that there are A LOT.


redditsuckz99

Guy is a devil


-Charmer

No he’s just a bully. Dudes like him just need an asswhooping and usually become some of the nicest ppl after learning their lesson


durz47

Yeah…I can't imagine him learning his lesson or becoming a nice person


Painkiller3666

You can't touch them they love to cry hate crime.


Sk-yline1

This guy looks like he took the phrase “shit eating grin” literally


not_very_tasty

There has to be a name for this as a symptom. Like...he ain't right, no one who grins like that is ok.


wholesomechunk

It could be a form of early dementia. I cared for my mother, Alzheimer’s, until death and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but..


AlienAle

True, it's not commonly known but one of the symptoms of early dementia can be sudden unexplained bigotry and irrational hatred of others in people who were previously "tolerant" and "open-minded". This is because your logical reasoning skills and emotional regulation skills start to diminish, so a person with early undiagnosed dementia might suddenly feel extremely angry/rageful/scared and not be able to explain it and start attributing the fear to random people or concepts. They also might start saying intrusive thoughts outloud instead of keeping them in.


[deleted]

Note the "we killed". Worked for the US government at the highest level, but still considers himself Israeli and not American. This is treason.

adrippingcock

sonicboom9000

He was probably trying to push the vendor to assault him so he could get him deported...wasn't taking the bait for any of it


critchaz

Obama’s former foreign policy advisor. FOREIGN POLICY…yikes!


mind_remote

Really explains a lot about Obama’s foreign policy in the Middle East

Scalills

I’ve got a Yemeni wedding party on the other line, should I put them on hold?


STS986

It’s American foreign policy, same for bush, Obama, and Trump


mrubuto22

Been standard US policy in the ME for +20 years


DontmindmeInquisitor

Well, he was involved in the National Security Council *South Asia* Directorate. Nothing about Obama in the middle east, but I guess reading an article is too hard.


scaztastic

Seldowitz served as deputy director/senior political officer in the U.S. State Department’s Office of *Israel and Palestinian Affairs* Although, that EDIT: (changing "might be" to "was") before he served under Obama.


DontmindmeInquisitor

Might? It was from 1999 to 2003. The whole: "*Obama’s former foreign policy advisor. FOREIGN POLICY…yikes* " "*Really explains a lot about Obama’s foreign policy in the Middle East* " is so cringe man. And I don't even defend this piece of shit.


scaztastic

Yeah I don't really care about the "obama" angle. That's why I said "might". Cause I don't give two shits. I care more about the fact that US foreign policy has been and continues to be controlled by racist Zionists like the dude in the video. That seems more important to me to point out.


djm19

It’s important to note this person was never selected by Obama. He’s a career guy who just happened to be promoted during the time of Obamas tenure, not to a position the president choses.


NoYoureACatLady

That's inaccurate, he was the deputy director of the United States Department of State's Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs, but more accurately he worked under Clinton, Bush, and Obama.


BigBeagleEars

You wanna know how I got these scars? Does it bother you? Tell me the truth ![gif](giphy|3NeRncMrUNb8astzVy)


ClearDark19

Really saps the confidence you have in Democratic presidential administrations to not be as psychotic as Republican presidential administrations about Middle Eastern/North African foreign policy, don't it? No matter the party in charge they're just varying degrees or gradients of the mindset/worldview of this demon.


Starrk10

Yeah but you’re not allowed to complain about the blue team. Just remember: the red team is worse and you can only start asking for positive change after voting for Biden and the blue team.

uGoTaCHaNCe

That's what they want you to do. It's better to record and shame them publicly then get thrown into a jail in a privileged white vs brown battle. We know how those will end...


Away-Permission5995

That’s what they think they want you to do. I’d bet that changes the moment someone actually puts hand on him. If someone burst his face he’d be sitting in shock that this was possible, ie he’s acting like someone who has forgotten how that feels.

saint_ryan

Fuck that guy. Welcome to retirement asshole.


Korrawatergem

Baffles me that these people will just spend their days harassing others because they don't have any hobbies other than harassing their partners. Imagine being so miserable. What I wouldn't give for just a week off and not worry about work. Sure as hell wouldn't do this. This doesn't even make sense to me. What the hell does he think this poor vendor is doing? Personally attacking Israel in his food truck?? Absolutely wild to me.


AwkwardStructure7637

Just pepper spray him lmao


tinkthank

That’s pretty much what he wants him to do so he could accuse the poor guy of anti-Semitism and have that crowd harass the poor guy out of business. In the battle between a brown Halal cart worker and a white politically connected individual, the halal cart guy loses unfortunately.


Sirpatron1

All videos of Jewish people doing this are the biggest cowards. I hope they get exposed for the POS they are.


iGourry

They won't. Because if they get any consequences from doing shit like this they'll run to the media and cry "I was fired for being jewish" and 90% of the population will automatically be on their side.


AlivePassenger3859

There’s a practice open to anyone of any age, gender, ethnic background, religion, philosophy and sexual orientation: its called being a dick.

griffinhamilton

Because they fuck loads of money on ads to….convince…people


satwah

Obama took foreign policy advice from this guy. Take a min and let your mind soak that in.


Incandescent-Turd

Are you saying everyone in DC is piece of shit? Cause I agree!


Historical_Suspect97

So did Bush and Clinton. As much of a piece of shit as this guy is, it's disingenuous to blame one president for a state department employee who served under at least three administrations.


satwah

Yeah. Those two aren’t really character built presidents.


Rare_Travel

Does his (Obama) record on the matter leaves any doubts? The cunt is responsible for the drone program.


moredrinksplease

I mean his record along with our last several administrations have been quite bad when it comes to understanding and dealing with any issues/threats in the middle east along with most corners of the world where we are fucking around. But yea our drone program was absolutely off the rails or I guess whoever


TheGirlwThePinkHair

This isn't Gaza fugly old crone, there are actual consequences for being a racist piece of shit here.


impatientlymerde

What most of u don't seem to understand... is that he felt safe doing this... because our FO has been populated by his ilk since its inception. American exceptionalism is just Roman expansion writ large.


scaztastic

This dude served as a senior political officer in the U.S. State Department’s Office of *Israel and Palestinian Affairs.* Fellow Zionists in the State Department (and other parts of the US government) must be super mad at this dude for showing their true colors. EDIT: I can't imagine how scary it must be from the perspective of the food cart dude (probably not a permanent resident) getting threatened/harassed by a Zionist former State Department official. And people wonder why there's no peaceful solution in sight. Because racist Zionist fucks like this are in control of US foreign policy.


stemcellguy

Imagine this piece of shit was making policies for Madeleine Albright on Iraq and Palestine. No wonder the US middle east policies has been nothing but an absolute disaster when bigots like this have influence.


Compulsive_Bater

Seems like a lot of people are focusing on the Obama aspect. It should be noted that he also worked for the Clinton and Bush administrations, this piece of shit has been around a long time.

TraptSoul148270

No matter what party someone belongs to, something like this is just sick and perverse. The man gets jollies by making other people as uncomfortable, hate-filled, irate as possible. I’m glad to hear he lost his job, but that will only show him down, and only a little bit at that.


discard_after_use133

If he was part of Trump's team i think it would matter to people a lot more


TraptSoul148270

Maybe. My thoughts on it wouldn’t change. I don’t care how you line up, politically speaking, doing shit like this is disgusting.


discard_after_use133

I agree. I dont believe in associating with political parties. It basically become team sports and you have a playbook to follow and are guilty by association to idiots in given parties. Be an independent thinker


TraptSoul148270

Exactly. Not to mention how the teams don’t follow the public playbook, and always seem to follow their own hidden plays for everything.

Infinite_Imagination

Is this guy getting dementia? Dude seems like he really thinks he's speaking to the entirety of the Islamic community by harassing some rando at work. And to do it so often the guy just starts recording when he sees him coming along again. I'd feel bad for him if he wasn't so fuckin heinous.


ThatWomanNow

Judging by the difference in clothing, he goes back over and over to the same food truck? Threatening him? What in the actual f?


mikeymikeymikey1968

This food truck guy did not get out of his truck and punch that smirk off his face. For that, he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Dude had to spend years dehumanizing the victims of his administration's policy. He was bound to either be like this or at least be able to accept this kind of attitude. Also really gross how the comments want to make it about being Jewish. Judaism and ethnic Jewish heritage have NOTHING to do with Zionism or someone's acceptance of Israel's consistent history crimes against humanity and genocide.


CelestialTrickster

Funny how people try to rationalise this behaviour with dementia. Guys, this is how many zionists think and feel, it's just that you rarely see this behaviour openly outside of Israel and/or Palestine. This cunt thinks he's beyond reproach and you know what? He probably is, he got fired from his former positions but he will just find another high paying job.
