Ex Obama Adviser Says Killing 4,000 Palestinian Children ‘Wasn’t Enough’

A lobbying group has cut ties with an ex-adviser to former President Barack Obama after videos surfaced that show the man making Islamophobic comments and threats to a food cart employee in New York City.

The videos, posted on X (formerly Twitter) by a Columbia University student, shows Stuart Seldowitz asking someone off camera, “Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did?” and saying that killing 4,000 Palestinian children “wasn’t enough.”

Seldowitz was acting director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate under Obama and was deputy director/senior political officer in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs from 1999 to 2003. More recently, he served as foreign affairs chair for Gotham Government Relations, which announced his new role in a press release in November 2022.

On Tuesday afternoon, Gotham announced on Twitter that it had cut ties with Seldowitz.

Because you're painting an entire religion by the actions of a few extremists. It's like if I said all Muslims were the same as ISIS.

"that includes" it is understood that it is not the whole, all regions have their branches, what is really relevant is whether it is tolerated by the rest. Speaking of branches of judaism, I wonder if there is one that does not advocate genital mutilation of babies.

The traditional means of drawing blood is sucking a baby dick, is it not.
