Anwar Tohami, who played with Shawn Weissman at Real Valladolid, sent him a message of support via Instagram: "We are as united as iron" Weissman responded: "What a good person you are" As of October 7th, Weissman has become a target of Palestinian pro soccer fans and players in Spain. He experienced harsh curses, threats and was compared on social networks, among other things, to a Nazi.

Everything came in response to the fact that the Israeli striker expressed himself in a warlike manner against Hamas and Gaza.
