Atassi was faraway from her place lower than a day after the video circulated publicly, the outlet reported.

“There’s no likelihood we’d permit such an individual to enter school rooms,” an area Israeli group member instructed N12, an Israeli TV station, who first reported the incident.

The firing comes amid heightened scrutiny of antisemitic incidents in California colleges, notably following the Oct. 7 Hamas assault on Israel and the next warfare in Gaza. Jewish advocacy teams have reported a surge in antisemitic rhetoric, vandalism, and harassment on college campuses statewide.

Dr. Halevi Feldman, a board member representing Home of Israel–Balboa Park, instructed N12 that the group maintains a system for documenting antisemitic incidents and forwarding them to related authorities.

“Our group has somebody liable for accumulating these instances,” Feldman mentioned. “They doc them and cross them on to the suitable our bodies.”

Feldman mentioned the group’s coordinated response — together with on-line advocacy, tagging officers, and submitting formal complaints — performed a big position within the district’s resolution to terminate Atassi.

“She was faraway from the schooling system in lower than a day,” Feldman mentioned, including that “extra steps had been taken behind the scenes.”

Whereas Feldman mentioned the group was not shocked by the video, he emphasised that silence was not an possibility.

“We’re now not shocked after we see issues like this,” he mentioned. “However we completely don’t intend to surrender or stay silent — and definitely to not permit such an individual to be a part of San Diego’s schooling system.”
