Prior to going viral after footage emerged showing ex-State Department official Stuart Seldowitz spewing Islamophobic slurs at a Halal food cart operator, he spent his spare time harassing female Russian diplomats and an ambassador’s pet dog, the Grayzone has learned.

The viral footage of Stuart Seldowitz berating a Halal food cart operator with Islamophobic diatribes and calls for the death of more Palestinian children has laid bare the link between extremism and American foreign policy. 

Seldowitz, a former national security advisor in the Obama White House and number two at the State Department on Israel-Palestine Affairs, was caught in the streets of New York spewing naked bigotry about Arabs and Muslims raping their daughters.

“Did you rape your daughter like Mohammed did?” Seldowitz was caught asking the unnamed food cart worker on a chilly November night in New York. “If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, it wasn’t enough.”
