Would anybody, anywhere, claim that it’s wrong to fire people, or rescind job offers, if the people who lost out on those jobs has publicly posted, “I hate [insert plural slang term for Negroes here]”?

Citi fires banker over ‘revolting’ Israel remark: ‘No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of all of them’

Citibank has fired one of its staffers after she posted “revolting” commentary on Instagram that endorsed the mass murder of Jewish people during the Holocaust.

“No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of all of them,” Nozima Husainova wrote with a smiley-face emoji in an Instagram Story, which has since been deleted along with the 25-year-old’s Instagram and other social media accounts.

The post was a screenshot shared to X, formerly Twitter, late Wednesday by nonprofit watchdog StopAntisemitism, which also posted a photo of her Instagram profile, which boasted over 4,500 followers.

Husainova had written the explosive comment in response to a post about the Gaza hospital bombing that was initially blamed on Israel, but was later revealed to have been caused by the Islamic Jihad terror group after its operatives misfired a rocket.

The investment bank confirmed to The Post that Husainova was fired after the remark, which was earlier reported on by the Daily Mail.

There’s more at the original, and the New York Post, our nation’s second oldest daily newspaper, founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, does not have a paywall to block non-subscribers.

The Post continues to tell us that Miss Husainova earned a BBA in Finance from the City University of New York in Brooklyn, and that while they did not have her specific salary on record, the average CitiBank staffer in her role, “a role ‘to foster relations with customers to build loyalty and to help increase sales to individual consumer clients,'” earns a shade under $75,000 a year.

The blast at the hospital in Gaza occurred on Tuesday, October 17^th, which, as we have previously reported, well publicized reports were made in the credentialed media about people’s jobs being in jeopardy due to anti-Semitic actions, or neglect, and that many of the people doing the job threatening were in the financial industry in New York City. This was something that someone in Miss Husainova’s former position almost certainly had to have known.

Which raises the obvious question: yes, Citibank fired her for the content of her posting, which was about as reprehensible as any of the millions of anti-Semitic remarks made on social media, but was she also fired for being just boneheadedly stupid? No one with an IQ above room temperature could not have realized that what she posted jeopardized her own job if her bosses, or even some of her acquaintances at CitiBank, saw the stupid thing, and who would want to deal in financial matters with someone that stupid?

Meanwhile, a New York City emergency room doctor was also fired for her controversial social media posts that applauded Hamas’ massacre at a music festival in southern Israel, saying the attacks gave Israelis “a taste of their own medicine.”

Dr. Dana Diab — an emergency room physician with Lenox Hill Hospital and Brookdale University Hospital & Medical Center, according to NYC Health + Hospitals — shared a video of the heinous Oct. 7 attack on her Instagram Stories.

“Zionist settlers getting a taste of their own medicine,” she wrote, according to a screenshot shared by StopAntisemitism on X on Monday.

Physicians are supposed to be intelligent people, and Dr Diab managed to get into, and be graduated from, medical school, not an easy thing to do, though she did go to medical school in Qatar, not the US. Yet she was stupid enough to post that publicly; would you want a doctor that stupid as your physician?

And this stuff happened in New York City, which has the world’s largest Jewish population outside of Israel. Both Dr Diab and Miss Husainova must have been encountering Jews almost every day, as patients, clients, co-workers, and people passing by on the city’s streets.

The Washington Examiner noted:

In a recent email to affiliates of Columbia University, President Minouche Shafik complained that the names of students who have endorsed terrorism and violence have been made public.

“Some students, including at Columbia, have been victims of doxing. This form of online harassment, involving the public posting of names and personal information, has been used by extremists to target communities and individuals,” Shafik said. “This kind of behavior also will not be tolerated and should be reported through appropriate school channels. When applicable, we will refer these cases to external authorities.”

Columbia University is also in New York City.

I’m not certain how people who have signed their own names to something, including identifying where they attend college, can be victims of doxing.

I completely support private institutions getting rid of, or refusing to hire, people who have publicly supported Hamas terrorism. All Americans have freedom of speech, but there is no immunity from the consequences of your speech. It’s the old “yelling ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater” saw: the person who does that has his freedom of speech, but if people are injured in a stampede to get out, the guy who yelled “Fire!” is not immunized from the consequences his speech caused. If you publicly post, “No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of all of them” about the Jews, I absolutely believe that you have the right to say it.

But your right to say it concomitantly means that others have the right to read or listen to what you have said, and take their own decisions about whether they want to know you, support you, or employ you.

In the end, the Hamas attack on Israel is proving once again, that not only is anti-Semitism stupid, but the people who are anti-Semitic are themselves stupid.
