Ex-Obama adviser charged with hate crime over food cart rant
Former US diplomat Stuart Seldowitz has been arrested and is facing multiple charges after a video of him harassing a halal cart vendor in New York went viral.
The NYPD has charged Seldowitz with second-degree aggravated harassment, hate crime/stalking, stalking to cause fear, and stalking at place of employment, Documented reported. In the video, Seldowitz, who previously served as deputy director of the US Department of State’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs, is seen telling a man selling food: “If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, it wasn’t enough.”

how insane is it that some random freak harassing a halal cart guy ended up being a formerly important government official?
Given how many Muslims US government officials have murdered, I'm surprised more of them aren't caught on camera giving islamaphobic rants.
not a random freak , obamas adviser on foreign policy..
I love that the virality of this story is making the general public reassess Obama's foreign policy. Not that it was held in high regard anyway, but his failings here were overlooked even by his detractors (who tend to focus on his domestic policy).
