The disorder in its various form will bear the designation P.O.S., for Palestine Obsession Syndrome.
Washington, July 23 - The largest and most influential professional psychiatric group in the world will include a new pathology in the next edition of its authoritative diagnostic manual, a representative disclosed today, specifically labeling ardent support for the dissolution of the Jewish State and its replacement with an Arab-Islamist country as a new taxon in its indices.
Dr. Aaron Bushnell, a spokesman for the American Psychiatric Association, told reporters in a press release Wednesday that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Sixth Edition (DSM-6), estimated for release in approximately 2028, will designate anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian activism as severe mental disorders requiring intensive psychiatric intervention.
"Examination of clinical and public health evidence points to this designation as both appropriate and urgent," Dr. Bushnell wrote. "People have sublimated their senses of worth, self, and purpose into a destructive, and self-destructive, dynamic that does nothing to address the underlying causes of maladjustment and only exacerbates both the personal and public costs attendant to their individual and our collective wellness."
The disorder in its various forms will bear the designation P.O.S., for Palestine Obsession Syndrome. "P.O.S. people will sacrifice their safety and that of the people they purport to love, for the sense of purpose that the cause of Palestine appears to offer them, when it fact it will destroy them," he explained.
Thus, he noted, the propensity of "pro-Palestine" activists to self-immolate both literally and figuratively, and to assign cosmic importance to a conflict that accounts for a tiny fraction of the world's dead and injured despite its persistence of more than a century.
"P.O.S. people will stand in front of bulldozers engaged in getting rid of explosives," observed Dr. Rachel Corrie, a clinical psychologist in Olympia, Washington State. "They will convince themselves that getting in the way of counterterrorism, of those on the front lines in the conflict with Islamist extremism and supremacism, constitutes the highest humanitarian calling, when in fact it simply means getting killed or maimed on behalf of a group that hates you, harasses you, and assaults you if its gets the chance, whether in 'Palestine' or anywhere."
Rumors have also circulated regarding another possible addition to the DSM: Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS, ad its mirror, Trump Devotion Syndrome, or TDVS, each of which describes an unhealthy, reflexive processing of information regarding or allegedly regarding the current US president.
