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.
“Sir, this is
an Arby’sa kebab truck.”One of the guys asks him to stop bothering him while he is working and he just continues acting like a dickhead.
It’s astounding just how cartoonishly evil so many people are showing themselves to be. “More dead children!” would be like, a headline from the Onion that I would think is too on the nose, but no. It’s just fucking reality.
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.

Or he could have always been a dickhead.
It sounds like we didn’t know that. If this is a personality change for him, this could be an early sign of dementia
Google and the WH are scrubbing all links between him and Obama
As someone “who worked on the National Security Council South Asia Directorate under President Barack Obama,” it sounds like he wasn’t particularly close to the top and there would have been multiple layers of staff between him and the president. Hundreds of people work in presidential administrations. Also that screenshot doesn’t give any indication that anyone is “scrubbing” anything, just that you’re searching a current event

Gross
My search returns pages and pages. Probably just a user error on your part.
Sounds like a mentally sound person.
I actually wondered if he lost his filter
“The Mukhabarat in Egypt will get your parents. Does your father like his fingernails? They’ll take them out one by one,” he continues, as the man he’s addressing repeatedly tells him to leave and says he doesn’t speak English.
Wtf 😬
Does he suggest a…final solution to the Palestinian problem?
Pathetic, low level dip shit.
Working for a lobbying firm know which he’s just been fired from.
Is he getting a government pension? That’s the next thing he should have taken away from him.
This just a sample of the deep racism ingrained within decision makers, they know how to keep it in check in front of cameras, but when it comes to policy making such hate finds its way to influence government’s foreign policy. Just imagine if he has been the advisor to the most “progressive” US president, how vile could be his counter part of the republican camp.
