2 month suspension for doctor who shared posts blaming ‘Zionists’ for 9/11 and World Wars

An NHS doctor who shared videos claiming that “Zionists” were responsible for 9/11 as well as both World Wars has been suspended for two months by a medical tribunal, in a decision branded a “profoundly pathetic slap on the wrist.”

The hearing into the conduct of Dr Najmiah Ahmad, which began last month, was set to “inquire into the allegation that, in or around December 2023 to January 2024, Dr Ahmad reposted two comments on social media, one of which included an image, which were objectively antisemitic, seriously offensive and motivated by racial or religious hostility and/or prejudice against Jews.”

One of the posts shared by Ahmad, a consultant working for the NHS’s Frimley Health foundation trust in Surrey, said: “The Zionist owned-and-controlled mainstream media has suppressed this important story for years. Are you surprised? 9/11 was an inside job, The Zionist owned-and-controlled US government was complicit.”

As revealed by the ‘GnasherJew’ social media account, other posts shared by Dr Ahmad included a video referring to America in late 2023, saying that “in the exact same way as Zionists lit a fire in Germany to get the German Jews to go to Palestine, the Zionists are doing the exact same thing in the United States right now…the whole goal of World War I and World War II was to create Israel and to destroy strong sovereign nations like Germany, Italy and Japan and create a one-world government.” Ahmad shared the video, writing “I’ve always wanted to know why Hitler was hellbent on killing.”

In another post, Ahmad shared a video on “The hidden history of the incredibly evil Khazarian mafia”, by two contributors to the Neo-Nazi ‘Veterans Today’ website. The DR shared it with the caption “for my own watching. Learning each day.”

Ahmad reportedly told the tribunal last month that “I don’t hate Jews”, and said that “it’s a foreign thing for me to learn about antisemitism. It’s not a Southeast Asian thing to grow up learning about it in school. I had a steep learning curve.

“At the time I reposted it I wanted to know what has Zionism got to with 9/11 – conspiracy or not conspiracy, I just wanted to know. I don’t support any of this.”

The hearing was originally adjourned in January and continued yesterday, with the verdict – a 2 month suspension – published today by the Medical Practitioner Tribunal Service.

Responding to the ruling, Campaign Against Antisemitism said:

“Once again, another profoundly pathetic slap on the wrist. The NHS has a deep-rooted problem.

CAA said that “according to the hearing, ‘insufficient evidence’ was found to suggest that her actions were motivated by religious or racial hostility and/or prejudice, and the doctor has reportedly since undergone social media mentoring and training. If that is the punishment, then no wonder we keep hearing reports like these.”
