Doctor who claimed UK is ‘controlled by Jewish supremacy’ avoids suspension

She also attracted criticism over comments about the October 7 massacres, saying: “I don’t condemn Hamas. I don’t condemn October 7. I don’t condemn armed resistance to occupation. I condemn ‘Israel’.”

After Aladwan’s case and others like it were reported earlier this year, Health Secretary Wes Streeting declared there would be “zero tolerance” for antisemitism in the NHS, telling a meeting with communal leaders that he would “haul in the GMC’s chief executive and chair” to explain why the regulator is “failing publicly and abysmally in their responsibility to protect Jewish patients”.However, the MPTS ruled yesterday that she could continue to practise medicine while her ongoing GMC case is heard.

Speaking outside the hearing following the verdict, Aladwan was greeted by a cheering crowd of supporters and handed a bouquet of flowers.

She said: “Alhamdulilah, all praise be to God. I hope that people, especially my fellow healthcare workers, can hear this and know that they are entitled to speak.

"I want to thank the MPTS panel for making the right decision and not persecuting me for my political speech, most importantly my speech that is aimed at stopping the Holocaust of Palestinians in Gaza.

"Today the panel affirmed that my speech was perfectly legal. That includes my criticism of Jewish supremacy, my support for armed resistance of the occupied Palestinian people as per international and humanitarian law, my criticism of the genocidal terrorist Israeli government… and Israeli society.

“That is not, quote unquote, antisemitic. They affirmed that I am a Semite, that Palestinians are the Semites. We shouldn’t use ‘antisemitism’, it should be ‘anti-Jewish hatred’.

“And nothing we say in order to save the Palestinians from Israeli Jewish society and their occupation forces that are supporting or carrying out the Holocaust is anti-Jewish hatred.”

And, responding to coverage of the verdict in the Jewish press, she tweeted: “Cry more genocidal rag.

"The British people are not the extremist and supremacist 'Israeli' Jewish public. Britons actually want to keep their moral, principled, and ethical doctors.

“Free Palestine and Britain from Jewish supremacy.”

In its ruling, released publicly at Aladwan’s request, the MPTS said: “The Tribunal has determined, based on the information before it today, that it is not necessary to impose an interim order.

"The Tribunal does not consider that the information before it today is sufficient to establish that there may be a real risk to patients such as to necessitate the imposition of an interim order.

"Further the Tribunal considered that, based on the information before it at this point, a reasonable and fully informed member of the public would not be alarmed or concerned to learn that Dr Aladwan had been permitted to continue in unrestricted medical practise whilst the GMC investigation continues.”

The verdict also specifically stated that her comments did not constitute “bullying or harassment” and cited the recent ruling by a UN inquiry that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, despite that report and its authors facing their own allegations of antisemitism and bias.

Dr Aladwan told the JC: “I’m a Semite. Everything I have said is legal and within my rights of freedom of speech and expression.

"If you want to see hatred and harm of Semites, look at what ‘Israeli’ Jews are doing to Palestinians.

"Free Palestine and Britain from Jewish supremacy.”
