Obama's ex-adviser filmed launching into tirade against food cart vendor in foul-mouthed rant

He asked: “Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did?”

Seldowitz, who served as Obama’s National Security Council director, added: “If we killed 4,000 Palestinian children, it wasn't enough.”

He also threatened to deport the food vendor to Egypt.

Another video showed Seldowitz, who worked in the US State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs, accusing the vendor of supporting Hamas.

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has surpassed 14,000 since the current Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on October 7, the Strip’s Hamas-run Health Ministry has said.

Ismail al-Thawabta, director general of the media office, said at a press conference that among the dead were 5,840 children and 3,920 women.

Seldowitz more recently served as foreign affairs chair for Gotham Government Relations.

Gotham Government Relations yesterday announced it had cut ties with Seldowitz, saying: “Gotham Government Relations has ended all affiliation with Stuart Seldowitz, an individual who hasn't contributed to our work in years.

“The video of his actions is vile, racist, and beneath the dignity of the standards we practice at our firm.”

A New York Police Department spokesperson confirmed officers are aware of the videos and are “monitoring the situation.”

Letitia James, Attorney General of New York, also said on on social media: “This is disgusting, hateful, and New York won't tolerate it.

“We won't stand for Islamophobia or any kind of hate in our state.”

Seldowitz has since admitted “it's probably me” in the videos but insisted “I don't think I'm an Islamophobic guy”.

In a half-hearted apology, the 64-year-old said: “I regret the whole thing happened and I'm sorry.

“But you know, in the heat of the moment, I said things that probably I shouldn't have said.”

He continued: “I did have an argument with a food vendor. It is quite possible that it's me.

“I mean, I've not seen the video, but I believe it's probably me.”

Seldowitz added: “If I had to do it all over again, I would not have raised the religious aspect.

“I don't think I'm an Islamophobic guy. I've spoken up for equal treatment of Muslims on numerous occasions with numerous different people.”
