The postcard was in a space where only co-workers came and went, she said, and was out of view of patients.</p><p>At first, other employees at the top-ranked hospital who saw the postcard reacted positively, Raizen said. “I had co-workers that would come into my office and say, ‘it’s so amazing to know that this is a safe place to talk about <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a>." </p></blockquote></blockquote><p><a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/mount-sinai-hospital-fired-social-worker-over-gaza-must-live-postcard?token=IsN0c6NE-Dcy3zqfT3AyF1KKFY1ZX1vp&x-craft-preview=9fa3922397affe23d798e31a4b76c842546e88da02435860ba3a82029d935654yxwgcbltji?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=body" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jewishcurrents.org/mount-sinai</span><span class="invisible">-hospital-fired-social-worker-over-gaza-must-live-postcard?token=IsN0c6NE-Dcy3zqfT3AyF1KKFY1ZX1vp&x-craft-preview=9fa3922397affe23d798e31a4b76c842546e88da02435860ba3a82029d935654yxwgcbltji?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=body</span></a></p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span></p>
