Stuart Seldowitz, who worked on the National Security Council South Asia Directorate under President Barack Obama, was filmed accusing a New York City food truck vendor of being a “terrorist.”

    Okay, I thought, “No way can that be the headline,” so I went to the article. Yup, it is.

    “Well, Vice has to be editorializing, let me see what he really said.”

    Seldowitz says, “If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, you know what, it wasn’t enough. It wasn’t enough.”

    Nope. What he actually said was somehow worse. Edit: And that was one of the less horrible things he said.

    For those looking for context: it’s an old fashioned public freakout.

    Holy moly. I clicked looking for context, expecting some kind of equivocation or a really gross conversation about “deterrence” but it’s just an old man screaming slurs at an Arab american food vendor.

    Before you click, be warned, it’s vile. I did like how they cut in some quotes from a podcast he did about how the IDF is a moral army that doesn’t hurt children with him screaming on the street that wants to see more dead Palestinian children.

    Geez, though. I was not ready for that.
