Stuart Seldowitz, a former US State Department official and ex-Obama advisor, was filmed making Islamophobic remarks to a halal food vendor in New York City, including stating that the death of 4,000 Palestinian children in Gaza 'wasn't enough' and calling the Prophet Mohammed a 'rapist.' Despite such incidents of hate, NYC's halal food vendors continue their business. Seldowitz has reached a plea deal that may lead to the dismissal of the hate crime charges against him. The deal includes a requirement for Seldowitz to undergo anti-bias counseling. The incident, which took place last year, was reportedly fueled by the Israel-Hamas war.
