If he was responsible for mideast relations in the Obama administration, that explains why we are where we are today.

Are there any NYC activist groups who can reach out to this shop owner and get his contact details, then set up a fundraiser for him - so we can at least collectively show him our support?

He did not make Islamophobic remarks he made hateful anti muslims and hateful anti-Palestinian remarks.

#StuartSeldowitz #Stuart_Seldowitz #StuartSeldowitzIsRacist The key message here is that engaging in harassment with a history of fraud risks inciting investigations into your past misconduct. Seldowitz, a U.S. foreign service officer, was investigated for defrauding the government by submitting altered travel vouchers with false lodging costs during his assignment in Geneva, leading to a settlement where he agreed to pay $15,000 in restitution. He later attempted to sue the State Department over this matter but lost the case. Here are the details: Seldowitz, a career foreign service officer, was assigned in 1989 to the Office of Strategic Nuclear Policy. In this capacity, Seldowitz served on the United States delegation to the Nuclear Space Talks in Geneva, Switzerland. Seldowitz's wife, Rosalinda, also traveled to Geneva, serving as the secretary to a deputy negotiator. Seldowitz received per diem paid by the Bureau of Political/Military Affairs, and his wife received per diem paid by the Arms Control Agency. The Seldowitzes rented a private apartment in Geneva, and each obtained a separate receipt from the landlady. Because the receipts reflected the entire amount of rent, Seldowitz crossed out the number of Swiss Francs paid and wrote in half the amount. After submitting the receipts, Seldowitz was told by an administrator in the Bureau of Political/Military Affairs not to annotate the receipts because the per diem amount was not contingent on how much Seldowitz paid for lodging. After this conversation, Seldowitz did not annotate future receipts. However, Seldowitz does not dispute that the entire amount of the rental appeared on the travel voucher which he signed. 1 In 1990, the Office of Audits of the State Department's Inspector General reviewed the travel vouchers of the Geneva delegation. Based on this audit, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) investigated Seldowitz for submitting a false claim against the United States as a result of amounts claimed on his travel voucher. The findings of the investigation were turned over to the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. In 1995, the United States Attorney informed Seldowitz that he was contemplating a civil prosecution under the False Claims Act, see 31 U.S.C.A. §§ 3729-33 (West 1983 & Supp. 2000), based on a report prepared by the OIG. Seldowitz then met with officials from the State Department, the OIG, and the United States Attorney's Office to discuss the possible civil prosecution. During the meeting Seldowitz mentioned that he had annotated the first housing receipts to show only half of the housing expenses, and an AUSA then showed him allegedly the same receipts from the OIG's files which did not reflect any annotation. Shortly thereafter, Seldowitz entered into a settlement agreement with the government in which he agreed to pay restitution of $ 15,000. Seldowitz later requested copies of his travel vouchers from the National Finance Center and he received the copies in October 1995. Included in the packet from the National Finance Center were annotated receipts showing half the amount of rent. Seldowitz also requested in the fall of 1995 that his attorney obtain copies of the OIG voucher documents, including the receipts showing no annotations. Seldowitz received these materials on April 17, 1996, and for the first time made a side-by-side comparison of the annotated and unannotated receipts. To Stuart Seldowitz: Regrettably, you are unable to use immigration as leverage against me. I invite you to pursue legal action, if these statements are false.

JUST IN: President Barack Obama's former National Security Council advisor has been arrested after he stalked and spewed Islamophobic slurs at a NYC halal cart worker. Stuart Seldowitz was charged with aggravated harassment, a hate crime and stalking after he threatened to deport a worker to Egypt. He also suggested he would have the worker's parents tortured and asked if the worker "r*pes his daughter like Muhammad." He is facing a total of 5 counts. Seldowitz released a very weak apology saying he regrets that "the whole thing happened." "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." "If I had to do it all over again, I would not have raised the religious aspect." He also was caught on camera harassing a Russian. (first video below) What a terrible person.

Remember the massive (Zionist) Islamophobe who mocked and threatened a New York cart employee with reporting him to the Egyptian Authorities who would, he said, likely remove his fingernails? He also said: “if we killed four thousand Palestinian kids, you know what? It wasn’t enough”. Well, it's now been found that Stuart Seldowitz is on the advisory board of Zaka, the organisation that was the source for the "40 beheaded babies" lies which paved the way for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

[WATCH] With regards to the AbaThembu King we don’t support his stance on Isreal. We don’t support Israel as the ANC. What the king is doing is a betrayal of our solidarity with the Palestinian people. Doing arrogantly and blatantly like that is unbelievable, especially as somebody who comes from a struggle background. He was in exile and his father a stalwart of our liberation struggle, the fact that he can simply forget all of that and side with a state that kills people. If he went to Israel and Palestine we would understand. But to insult the cause of the Palestinians in Israel is a betrayal. #ANC114

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Iran: Trump went after this agreement from the minute he got into the campaign. I mean, this was sort of an Obama accomplishment—something President Obama would do. And as we all know, that has motivated a lot of action by President Trump to sort of undo the Obama presidency, which he hasn't done. I think he's undone his own by virtue of the rush to military action here and by the credibility that he has lost on a global basis. Source: MS NOW

As the Associated Press delicately noted: ‘The use of graffiti is a coded message to remind people of crime and urban decay, and has been used in racist messaging against Black people in the past.’ The AP also noting that this latest racist post from Trump for Independence Day weekend comes after another racist post by President Trump that showed the couple as primates in a jungle. Happy 250th anniversary.”🙄

🚨NEW - Kash Patel highlights the unbelievable connections between three senior Biden intelligence officials—Robert Malley, Ariane Tabatabai, and Maher Bitar—and their associations with Hamas and Iran. On June 29, 2023, Robert Malley was placed on unpaid leave from his role as Joe Biden's special envoy to Iran, and his security clearance was suspended due to an ongoing investigation into the potential mishandling of classified materials. On September 29, 2023, Semafor reported that Malley was involved in funding, supporting, and directing an Iranian intelligence operation to influence the United States and allied governments, as revealed by a collection of Iranian government emails. These emails suggested that Malley facilitated the placement of an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai in sensitive positions within the U.S. government, initially at the State Department and later at the Pentagon, where she has been serving as Chief of Staff for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations. On October 16, 2023, Revolver News reported that Maher Bitar, who is Senior Director for Intelligence Programs on Joe Biden’s National Security Council, was also an executive director of the “Students for Justice in Palestine” group that reportedly responded to the recent Hamas terror attack on Israel by organizing a “Day of Resistance” in support of Hamas’ “historic win” against Israel. Bitar was photographed wearing a black and white “keffiyeh,” a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, and standing in front of a sign that reads, “Divest from Israel Apartheid.” Kash Patel has pointed out that Maher Bitar plays a significant role in determining intelligence prioritization for President Biden, even though there is a photo of him wearing Palestinian attire, calling for the economic and political boycott of Israel. Robert Malley, who recently had his security clearance suspended by the FBI, installed Ariane Tabatabai at the Department of Defense as the Assistant Chief of Staff for the Special Operations Office. Do you know what she did in 2014? "She emailed Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and asked for permission as a U.S. citizen to take a trip on behalf of the US government. This individual is still employed at the DOD." Unbelievable.

COUNCIL OF STATE APPROVES PROF AMUPITAN AS INEC CHAIRMAN NOMINEE The National Council of State has unanimously approved the nomination of Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. At the meeting which just ended moments ago, President Bola Tinubu presented the nominee, following the exit of Professor Mahmood Yakubu, who served from 2015 to October 2025. President Tinubu told the Council that Amupitan, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria from Kogi State in the North-Central region, is the first person from that zone to be nominated to head the electoral body and described him as apolitical. Council members endorsed the nomination, with Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo calling him a man of integrity. In line with the Constitution, the President will now forward Amupitan’s name to the Senate for screening and confirmation. The 58-year-old law professor is currently Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Jos, where he has taught since 1989. He specialises in Company Law, Evidence, and Corporate Governance, and became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2014.
