Let’s call it the Larry Solution, though Jolly has endorsed it repeatedly. Exterminating the Palestinians in Gaza.
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.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

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.

No doubt these physicians losing their jobs would say the same thing about their tweets of the moment.
DON’T let them eat cake.

Sure, some of the commentary here has been pretty nasty over the years. There's a touch of irony associated with the statement 'The Democrats are all modern-day fascists and should be lined up and shot!'
And then we liberals are informed that we're the haters. If I took it seriously, I'd probably have stopped posting here, as a number of others did.
However, I think there's a difference when the physicians are celebrating actual murders that have just occurred.

God, these people are so depressing. When I first looked, I'd assumed she was an anonymous troll, but apparently she's real.

From the WiKi link:
She has published in the Duginist Journal of Eurasian Affairs…
That alone is enough for me, thank you.

She looks like Syria's answer to Milo Yiannopoulos.

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?
Whoa, wait a minute. You are starting with a false premise. As far as I can tell, nobody was dismissed for promoting “From the River to the Sea”. They were dismissed for celebrating, promoting, and glorifying the murders, beheadings, rapes, and tortures of over 1200 innocent children, men, and women. They are rejoicing in the savage beheading of a grandmother, whose killers used the woman’s own phone to video the killing and then posted the video to the woman’s Facebook account and sharing it to her friends and family via messenger. They referred to this as a glorious day and a good start. That’s why they were dismissed. And quite frankly, anybody that celebrates and revels in that butchery is either insane or has no place living in a modern western liberal nation.

We’ve always had “cancel culture” in the sense that there were always things you could espouse that would get you kicked out of institutions.
What changed in 2020 (starting earlier than that, to be sure) is that a small ideological minority got significant control of the “institutional overton window” (if I may coin a phrase) and started canceling people for espousing opinions that had significant, even majority support.

That’s still a far cry from simply espousing “From the River to the Sea” which many people just take to mean the abolishment of Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian/Arab nation…
Minimizing Cancel Culture does not mean the removal of repercussions..
