Killing 4,000 Palestinian kids 'wasn't enough', says ex Obama adviser. What now?

Published on: 28th November, 2023

Why was Stuart Seldowitz, a former US government official, harassing a NYC halal cart worker? Why was he making veiled threats to his family in Egypt? We don't have the answers for that yet, but Manisha Krishnan of VICE News spoke to the worker to had to deal with this abuse, and people in the neighborhood.

Seldowitz has, among other things, served as the ‘deputy director/senior political officer in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs from 1999 to 2003’


After the video went viral, he was charged with ‘aggravated harassment and three counts of stalking, one of which is a hate crime’. He has pled not guilty.
