UFC fighter responds to ex-Obama advisor's racist rant against Arab street vendor with brutal three-word tweet
A high-ranked UFC welterweight fighter recently responded to a video featuring former US president Barack Obama's foreign policy advisor uttering racist slurs against an Arab street vendor.
Stuart Seldowitz was captured on video making Islamophobic comments and harassing a New York City food vendor, as shown in footage that surfaced online on Tuesday. The videos, shared on X, depict Seldowitz making offensive remarks about the Prophet and the Quran.
In one of the footages, the 64-year-old former bureaucrat can be heard stating that the killing of 4,000 Palestinian children in the ongoing Israel–Palestine conflict "wasn't enough."
Check out the video below:
UFC's No.2-ranked 170-pounder Belal Muhammad, a staunch supporter of Palestine, expressed anger in response to the viral video:
"Pathetic human being"
Check out Muhammad's post below:
Seldowitz served as the acting director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate during the Obama administration. Additionally, he held the position of deputy director/senior political officer in the US State Department's Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs from 1999 to 2003.
Why is the Palestinian flag a constant for Belal Muhammad's UFC walkouts?
Belal Muhammad takes pride in symbolizing his Palestinian heritage. He consistently brings the Palestinian flag during his UFC walkouts and drapes it over his shoulders after each victorious bout. For Muhammad, this gesture is more than symbolic – it's a demonstration of solidarity with his community and Palestine.
Expressing that carrying the flag serves as a means to shed light on the struggles of his people, 'Remember the Name' aims to raise global awareness about their ongoing fight for freedom and independence. Leveraging his position as a professional athlete, he sees this as an opportunity to draw attention to the cause and urge others to join the movement for change.
