Eric Valiente, a (former) friend of Awad’s, told CBS TV Boston that the suspect was “very much anti-Semitic. He would say, like, all types of Jewish jokes. I thought he was joking at first, and then I started to see the seriousness in his comments.”
After he was charged with assault in Fall 2020, both Anderson and Valiente said they distanced themselves from Awad.
“He disgusted me at that point,” Valiente said. “I wanted nothing to do with the guy. At this point, I was a little scared of him. I was scared of what he was capable of, because I realized he was a very dark person.”
JP ADL chief in Mass. Rob Trestan says “motive not known” in knife attack on Rabbi by Arab Muslim Khaled Awad. Awad attacked Chabad Rabbi because he was a visible Jew. This was an attack because of Islamist Jewhatred. Imams and mosques and Omar/Tlaib must stop promoting jewhatred
