‘RACIST’
“Did you rape your daughter like Mohammed did?” Stuart Seldowitz asked a halal vendor in New York City, at one point calling him a “terrorist.”

Seldowitz worked as a deputy director/senior political officer in the US State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs in the early 2000s before becoming acting director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate under the Obama administration.

“You support killing young children,” Seldowitz tells him, claiming that he supports Hamas.
“You kill children, not me. Go,” the vendor waves him off, according to the video.
“I didn’t kill children,” Seldowitz replies. “… If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, it wasn’t enough.”
A third clip shows the former acting director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate under the Obama administration asking the vendor if he was in the country legally before a construction worker steps in to stop the ongoing harassment.
The Post could not immediately reach Seldowitz for comment, but he confirmed that he was the person in the viral videos to the Daily Beast.

“The bottom line is, yes it’s me,” Seldowitz told the outlet.
He said the videos only show the vendor’s side of the story and that his alleged harassment began after the vendor, he claims, expressed support for Hamas.
The NYPD said the commanding officer of the local precinct is aware of the videos and cops from the precinct “are monitoring the situation.”
Meanwhile, lobbying firm Gotham Government Relations, where Seldowitz was a consultant, announced that it ended all affiliation with him after the videos of his shocking behavior went viral.
“The video of his actions is vile, racist, and beneath the dignity of the standards we practice at our firm,” the company said in a statement.
Seldowitz was also condemned by Mayor Eric Adams, Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“Islamophobia is hate. Plain and simple,” Adams tweeted. “This vile, disrespectful rhetoric has no home in our city. We reject it — and we’re glad to see we’re not alone.”
“This is hateful, disgusting and unacceptable,” Hochul said on X. “Vile rhetoric like this has no place in New York, and we condemn it in the strongest of terms.”
James also said it was “disgusting, hateful, and New York won’t tolerate it.”
