Halal food worker might soon be able to take legal action against the explicit and racist abuse after the attacker’s firm offered free representation
A New York political lobbying firm has offered to represent a halal street food vendor who was recently subjected to a sustained racist attack by one of its own consultants, a former state department official, in the latest encounter reflecting tension in the city over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The Manhattan-based Gotham Government Relations firm said on Tuesday that it would cut all ties with Stuart Seldowitz, who worked in the US Department of State’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs from 1999 to 2003 and later at the national security council during the Obama administration, after he was filmed harassing an Upper East Side street vendor.
In one widely shared video, Seldowitz is heard to ask the unidentified vendor: “Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did?” In another, he states: “If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, you know what? It wasn’t enough. It wasn’t enough.”
What the fuck?
This is flat out dementia shit. Someones personality can just turn vile out of nowhere.
That or this guy has been a closet racist for a long while.
Either way, fuck this guy.
Dementia doesn’t make non-racists go on racist tirades.
Either way?
Like fuck him for sure if he’s just been a racist pos this whole time, but if it was actually dementia or some other illness well I’d pity him more than anything.
Dementia or not the dude is a hateful racist. Throw him in the salt mines and forget about him.
We’ll be sure to toss you down there when your mind starts going as well.
Ok I’ll be sure to keep my racist thoughts to myself then
Doesn’t matter to me, the second your mind starts slipping and you say an intrusive though, into the mines you go!
I looooooove halal carts. I was in New York for a week. Didn’t take me long to find my favorite one in the area I was staying.
