“It is important now more than ever that we continue to come together and stay united,” Rachel added. “Whether it’s standing up against antisemitism, Islamophobia, or racism, we shouldn’t stand for any of it.”

Usman Khawaja is yet to make any comment on his family being targetted by online social media handles. He, however, had condemned the incident immediately after the attack.
