A medical resident at a hospital in Argentina has been suspended after posting a series of antisemitic messages on social media that included calls to murder Jews.

In one post, Miqueas Martinez Secchi, an intensive care resident at the Jos� de San Mart�n Hospital in La Plata, wrote, “Instead of performing circumcision, one should cut their carotid artery and main artery from side to side.�

The messages came to light after Argentine journalist Dani Lerer exposed them on X, prompting widespread outrage.

In response, Buenos Aires Province Health Minister Nicol�s Kreplak issued a statement on social media. �Any aggressive message or one that shows disrespect for human life is incompatible with medical practice, and especially with medicine,� he wrote. �These are fundamental values in the training of healthcare professionals.�

The minister added that the resident �has been suspended and is currently under administrative and legal investigation.� He noted that the case will be reviewed by a professional committee, which will determine whether the doctor will be allowed to renew his medical license. The decision, he said, is also based on �other previous incidents that have now come to public attention.�
