SAN DIEGO (VINnews) — A California teacher was fired after sharing a video on social media that included antisemitic claims that “Israelis steal kidneys, livers, and eyes,” according to reports.

The teacher, identified as Nasreen Atassi, had been employed by the San Diego Unified School District. She was removed from her position following complaints from members of the local Jewish community.

“There’s no chance we would allow such a person to enter classrooms,” a local Israeli resident told Israel’s N12 news.

StopAntisemitism, a watchdog group, said Atassi worked as a special education teacher.

Update: antisemite Nasreen Atassi is no longer employed by the San Diego Unified School District.

In the video, the teacher accused Israel of “stealing protests, like they always steal from people — including body parts such as kidneys, livers, and eyes.” The remarks were made in reference to American Jewish support for demonstrations by Iranians in the United States.

The San Diego Unified School District did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
