Decristo is second male-to-female transgender professor to make headlines this week for vitriolic statements against Jews

A University of California professor came under fire Thursday for a social media post that appears to threaten extreme violence in the U.S. against journalists reporting on Israel — and their children.

UC Davis Professor Jemma Decristo posted on X on Oct. 10: “one group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda and misinformation … they have houses w addresses, kids in school, they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.”

The post ended with a knife emoji, an ax emoji, and three red drops of blood.

The post was made just a few days after deadly terrorist attacks against Israel by Hamas that killed more than 1,100 civilians, including women and children.

Decristo is also listed as a faculty undergraduate advisor. The professor’s post was screenshot and spread quickly on social media this week.

“Hey @ucdavis, do you think it’s appropriate that one of your faculty advisors, @jemmaisOKeh, is publicly threatening to murder Jews at their homes and their children at their schools,” posted Jason Bedrick, a research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation.


Decristo is an assistant professor of American Studies at the public school. The professor is transgender and was previously called Jeramy Decristo. According to their faculty bio, Decristo’s “focus is on the interplay between sound, race, gender and embodiment.”

Conservative activist Christopher Rufo pointed out the university has taken down the professor’s profile.


In a statement to the California Globe, a UC Davis spokesperson said campus leaders “reject all forms of violence and discrimination, as they are antithetical to the values of our university. We strive to foster a climate of equity and justice built on mutual understanding and respect for all members of the community.”

Decristo is the second male-to-female transgender professor to make headlines this week for vitriolic statements against Jews. Mika Tosca, a transgender associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, also made news for a post on social media that stated Israelis are “pigs” and “savages” and they should “all rot in hell.”

Globe writer Ken Kurson wrote “we’ve got a trans woman who would surely face torture or death in Gaza, siding with those who attacked not the Israeli army or even its civilian infrastructure, but children and grandmothers and concert goers.”

“This is the sickness of Intersectionality,” Kurson argued. “The entire moral compass is based not on any recognizable calculus of appropriate behavior. Whoever is perceived as poor and powerless is automatically virtuous, whoever is perceived as rich and powerful is a candidate for butchering.”

Could this indicate the increasing likelihood of a war between Israel and Hezbollah, and the involvement of the U.S?"

The convoy of 20 trucks which entered Gaza through the Rafah Crossing with Egypt on Saturday were not checked for weapons, the New York Times reported.

However, according to the NYT, the first 20 trucks were not inspected for weapons, as Israel demanded they be.

The Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) responded: "At the request of the US government, humanitarian aid including only water, food, and medical equipment was brought into the southern Gaza Strip through the Rafah Crossing in Egypt."

"All of the equipment was checked before it entered Gaza. We emphasize that Israel has the ability to ensure that nothing was brought in or out other than the items mentioned above."

Sooo, were they checked for weapons, or were they NOT checked for weapons?

At some point in the next few months, we may find that we'll be wishing for the peace and harmony of 2023.

If Israel finds itself backed into a corner, they may very well use nuclear weapons on Iran, and though I support Israel's right to defend itself and survive, Israel will face worldwide condemnation if their hand is forced.
