NextImg:Trans professor apologizes after calling Israelis 'irredeemable excrement'

An associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago who identifies as a "tr*nny icon" issued an apology Wednesday after declaring that Israelis were "pigs" and "irredeemable excrement" on social media.

Climate scientist Dr. Mika Tosca, a biological male who identifies as female, first came under fire after criticizing the Israeli offensive response in the wake of the deadly Hamas terror attack on Oct. 7, according to a report.

"Israelis are pigs. Savages. Very very bad people. Irredeemable excrement," Tosca posted Tuesday. "The propaganda has been downright evil. After the past week, if your eyes aren't open to the crimes against humanity that Israel is committing and has committed for decades, and will continue to commit, then I suggest you open them. It's disgusting and grotesque."

"May they all rot in hell."

Criticism of the professor's incendiary remarks came swiftly.

Tosca's comments were picked up and shared on X, formerly Twitter, by the advocacy group Stop Antisemitism.


"Your Israeli and Jewish students deserve better than being taught by this hate filled instructor," the group posted, tagging the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Stop Antisemitism Executive Director Liora Rex is also demanding action against Tosca, the report noted.

"She must be investigated for her horrible sentiments," Rex said. "Jewish students deserve to feel safe on campus, and people like her make that impossible when they’re unapologetically antisemitic."

Amid mounting criticism, Tosca issued a lengthy apology, in which the professor recognized and "unequivocally" rejected the harmful rhetoric.

"I am deeply sorry for writing what I wrote, and for hurting many people with my words, and I am especially sorry to Israeli people that I broadly placed at fault for the war," Tosca wrote. "You did not — and do not — deserve that, and I was wrong to post what I posted."


Tosca perpetuated harmful stereotypes of the Jewish people in the post, reacting to Israel's war with Hamas, according to the statement.

"I recognize that my harmful words are an unfortunate distraction from what I feel deep in my heart: all people no matter their race, religion, sexual orientation, identity, or country of origin, deserve to live in peace, free from hate and oppression," Tosca wrote. "To the many Israeli and Jewish people who I hurt with my words: I am truly sorry. I own my mistake and promise to be better."

"I hope you can forgive me," Tosca added.
