How is that pendant any different from wearing a swastika?

What I don't understand is why they post this stuff. Is it really worth risking your career over an internet post? Are they so oblivious of opinions outside their bubble that they fail to see how offensive this stuff is to a majority of people?

Exactly. If you look at my FB profile, you'll see a remarkable amount of silliness. NO politics, nothing controversial. I chose my username so that patients would have a hard(er) time finding me, and if they did, there's no "there" there.
The lack of judgment in these cases makes you question their overall judgment.
ETA: Also, when at work, it was rare that we had any kind of discussion bordering on politics. When you spend 5 hours at the OR table doing heart surgery, it's best to just get along, 'cos it won't be the last time you spend 5 hours with that person.

Total side note, I cringe when I hear 'biggest attack on Jews since the holocaust'. Yes, it seems that is absolutely true. But let's be realistic about how it really compares to the Holocaust.

Except the Holocaust never happened, in these people’s minds. So this is the biggest attack on Jews in 300 years!

Also, what we're seeing is much more like Germany in 1933 than in 1940-45.

This current situation is nothing like the holocaust, or WW2 for that matter. It's a completely different type of conflict.

Serious question, I’d like all to weigh in.
If publicly pushing the ‘river to sea’ message should render her unemployable as she’s a threat to Jewish patients, what about a physician who advocates the Jolly solution on their social media?

I don't think it's fair to call this the Jolly solution, but people should not be advocating mass killings of civilians. I'd say people who talk about the Palestinian people, not Hamas, as being sub-human or similar should be treated much the same way as those describing the Jews in this way.

If I saw my doctor post emphatic political shit I agreed with in all caps and bad punctuation on social media, I'd want another doctor.

What's the Jolly solution?

Let’s call it the Larry Solution, though Jolly has endorsed it repeatedly. Exterminating the Palestinians in Gaza.

Like Phibes, I have no issue with the physical annihilation of Hamas and its leadership. That would also include Salafist imams who stoke the fanatical cadres of Hamas through religious psychological corecion and bloodthirsty propaganda.
That does not equate to the physical extermination or ethnic cleansing of Arab Palestinians. There is no moral justification for either, both are indefensible and reprehensible.

TBH, along with deporting anybody who disagrees with the Iraq war, banning the Democrat Party, making Islam illegal, America transitioning to the metric system, and numerous other proposed solutions to problems facing us all, I typically don't take these suggestions seriously.

First my answer, then I'll try to unpack it.
My answer is, how they say it would be more important than what they say, and my opinion I believe would hinge on that. "Unfortunately I don't see a way towards a sustained peace without radical intervention, but I hope I'm wrong about that" would be entirely different from "LIGHT EM UP!!!!!!!" If they publicly crossed some kind of empathy and understanding threshold, yeah, I'd say unemployable.
But you said doctors. And the profession matters here. More generally, I'm quite experienced with professionals sharing crazy shit on social media channels intended to be used in a business capacity. I work at a Renaissance Faire. I buy from and have worked for several shop owners who share their alien abduction testimonials on Facebook. They send out public reminders on forums about leaving milk out for the Brownies at the start of the season. Crazy shit just comes with the territory. (Maybe they have those professions because they were indeed rendered unemployable?) Not so much for doctors, who you rely on for their empathy, understanding and reasoning.
But I also don't know to what extent my position would be valid. It's of course completely possible to be unempathetic towards Palestinians and still provide a sound diagnosis for seasonal allergies.
