Killing 4,000 Palestinian children ’wasn’t enough’, ex-Obama adviser tells vendor in verbal attack
A former adviser to Barack Obama said that killing 4,000 Palestinian children “wasn’t enough” during a racist and islamophobic rant to a food vendor.
In videos shared on social media, Stuart Seldowitz can be heard asking someone off-camera whether they raped their “daughter like Muhammad did”.
“Muhammad, your prophet ... He was a rapist,” he said.
Mr Seldowitz was acting director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate under President Obama, a senior political officer and was deputy director in the US State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs from 1999 to 2003.
Most recently he served as foreign affairs chair for Gotham Government Relations, which cut ties with him following the release of the videos.
Mr Seldowitz has since apologised for the incident.
Speaking to City & State on Tuesday night, he said: “I regret the whole thing happened and I’m sorry ... In the heat of the moment, I said things that probably I shouldn’t have said.”
