This lady should be fired. How can she be expected to teach a Jewish art student or art major?

She's a "deplorable" extremist, just on the other end of MAGA types.

She apologized.... Not sure I would want to be in her class if I were Jewish. Or, any other race/ethnicity/religion.

A Chicago art professor who was blasted online for calling Israelis “pigs” and “very bad people” after the Hamas attacks has said she is “deeply sorry” and does not stand behind her antisemitic comments.

Dr. Mika Tosca, a climate scientist and associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), issued an apology on her Instagram Wednesday for her incendiary post amid the Israel-Hamas war.

“Yesterday I wrote some things on my Instagram story that I unequivocally reject and do not stand behind,” Tosca wrote.

“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.”
“[Israelis] did not — and do not — deserve [what I said], and I was wrong to post what I posted; I know that my words perpetuated harmful stereotypes,” the lengthy statement read.

“I allowed my reaction to the violence in Israel and Palestine to take an inappropriate and offensive form, and I am taking proactive steps to learn how I can do better and be better.

“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,” she concluded.

That's nice. She still needs to be fired.

Trump supporter here. I don’t want Jewish people to feel alone. I don't agree with what this woman says at all. I'm not saying this to defend myself or make a comment about how "maga" people think. But Jewish people are rightly terrified right now, their kids are terrified, and they need to know that the vast majority of people support them. Even if we are being very quiet, in case history repeats itself. And we need to hide you.

Translation: “I am so upset that for once in my life, I’m facing consequences for my actions! This is a new experience for me as I usually get my way no matter what I say haha. I am not remotely sorry for using antisemitic slurs, but I am quite sorry I got caught. Good luck firing me tho lol.”

Yep. Imagine if she had said those things about blacks/Latinos/Asians, etc. She'd already have been fired, apology or not.

I agree. I’m so disappointed that an institution like Harvard who knows the true history of they bother to understand it can't see past dollar signs. Instead they are gaslighting and trying to blacklist the truth. Every American has the right to free speech whether you agree or disagree.

This is not a free speech issue. If a donor doesn't like the content of speech affiliated with a university, they are free to place their funds elsewhere.

No that is not what they are doing. They are using the conservative play book of attacking individuals to silence them. This is exactly what Trump and the conservative do every day.

LOL. It wasn't conservatives that came up with TERF or Karen to silence women.
It wasn't conservatives that call everyone a MAGA, Nazi, Bot, troll for everyone opinion they disagree with.
Progressives cannot stand the idea that their monster has turned on them.

Independent voter, and I agree with pretty much all of this.

Progressives maybe, but not Dems. The real dems - like Joe Biden (and me) - are sane.

Unfortunately, the real republicans are just MAGA and insane. That’s why normal republicans are now dems.

Antisemitism is part MAGA, no doubt. It’s not part of main stream dems though.

OMG. What a bunch of garbage. Liberals, especially LWNJs, have always been antisemitic. They felt they had an excuse to be loud and proud about it after the Hamas attack, but thankfully, backlash was swift. Major miscalculation on their part.

As for your assertion that "real dems" - like you, of course - are "sane" but real Republicans are all "MAGA and insane," spare us all. Both Republicans and Democrats have extreme factions - MAGA and LWNJs. Plenty of sanity in between the two. Nice try, though.

She's a "deplorable" extremist, just on the other end of MAGA types.

I don't know who the MAGAs are but Hill had a poll earlier this week showing Republican support for Israel at 77% versus Democratic support at 68%. 68% is still healthy but it's also noticeably lower than the Republican support.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall MAGA people, whoever they may be, going around justifying terrorism and deaths of women and rapes and savage butchery of children. I'm really thinking and hard trying to remember when Turnip supporters were all down on stuff like that. From some of the language on here you'd think MAGA type people were leading raiding attacks on vulnerable communities and executing undesirable people and all that, but once again, I'm really struggling to remember anything like that (I do remember a poor trans going into a school in Tennessee with a gun but pretty sure she, he, it, whatever, wasn't MAGA).

However, it's clearly and indisputably true that aspects of the progressive left in America justifies these attacks with breathtaking cruelty on innocent people, of a savagery never seen in the modern civilized world. And that various movements like BLM were led by people who'd most likely looked upon gleefully had these attacks happened on American soil. And now guess what? Many of those people are actually fancy professors at fancy colleges! Wow! Just think about that!

The Art Institute of Chicago is the same organization that fired all of the white volunteer docents. If you were white you could no longer volunteer.

+1
I remember that. Just disgusting - they lost so many docents who had vast background knowledge about the exhibits... because they were white. Meanwhile, I wonder how many POC volunteered for the spots.

Citibank really had no choice. You can't have an employee fostering that level of hatred in the workplace.

Why are so many women saying such antisemitic things?

You are finally seeing who the real Nazis are....................And it isn't conservative women.

Own this.

THIS. The "Nazi" and "fascist" accusations always rang hollow (and stupid), but now more than ever. Democrats always accuse others of that which they are guilty of.

Um, you can stop nattering on about "MAGA." The real deplorable extremists are solidly on the left.
