UK doctor is suspended for pro-Hamas posts, blames ‘Jewish lobby’

The UK’s General Medical Council suspends the registration of Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan, based in London, over posts online that included expressions of support for Hamas.

The 31-year-old, described by The Guardian as a “British Palestinian trainee in trauma and orthopaedics” had taken to X to say Israelis were “worse than Nazis,” and that Hamas operatives were “oppressed resistance fighters, not terrorists.”

She also publicly vowed she “would never” condemn the group’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, and posted a photo of jewelry reading “O 7,” calling it “celebratory.”

In response to the suspension, Aladwan posts a verse from the Quran: “But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.”

The MPTS has ruled: an interim suspension order of 15 months.

Thank God for everything.

Along with the quotation, she writes: “Let this decision stand as the definitive proof that there is no independent British medical regulation. The ‘israeli’ and jewish lobby decide who can and cannot practise (sic) medicine in Britain.”

She says her “gratitude to every single person who has supported our just cause is boundless,” adding: “What an honour it is to sacrifice for our people.”

“Free Palestine and Britain from jewish supremacy,” her post concludes, with emojis of the Palestinian and UK flags.

In addition to her public X posts, tribunal members also heard that Aladwan described London’s Royal Free Hospital as a “Jewish supremacy cesspit” and the Holocaust as a “fabricated victim narrative,” and made a throat-slitting gesture at protesters, according to The Telegraph.
