    Your implications serve your technically standing point, but they are not a generally accepted interpretation of how that language works. If a policy drafted by a politician is said to be "pro-something or other", the intent will fairly be inferred. Your point stands, as long as we limit the audience to people who don't make the common assumptions that topple it. Fair enough.

      Policies that serve or play into the interests of (insert name of country) that are detrimental to US ______ interests.

      Now, move along.

              Is no longer employed there.

              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?

                            Only non-witches get due process.

                              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.

                                      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.
