Alright, which forum member is a radiologist?
NEW YORK — A New York doctor says he is sorry for posting comments online supporting a white-only nation and armed racial conflict.
Dr. Dov Bechhofer, a resident radiologist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, was removed from duty this week after an anonymous article on the blogging site Medium identified him as an online commenter on a website that promoted white nationalism.
The online poster, who wrote under the name "Dov," called himself an ethnic nationalist and wrote about his opposition to racial intermarriage and support for proposals to expel non-whites from the U.S.
He also said he favored "'tempered' anti-Semitism" despite being Jewish himself.
Bechhofer confirmed that he made the comments and expressed remorse in a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Thursday.
"I am ashamed of the hurtful, unjustifiable words that I posted online that showed callous disregard toward certain minority groups and am deeply sorry for these transgressions," he wrote. "The posts do not reflect how I was raised or how I actually treat others. I will continue to struggle to understand what brought me to write them."
Bechhofer's father is a rabbi who is a leader of the group Orthodox Jews Against Racism and Discrimination, according to The Forward, a news magazine with a mostly Jewish American audience.
