NHS doctor has tribunal hearing over “objectively antisemitic” social media posts
Dr Najmiah Ahmad shared videos blaming "Zionists" for 9/11 and both World Wars, writing with regards to the latter: 'I've always wanted to know why Hitler was hell-bent on killing'
An NHS doctor who shared videos claiming that “Zionists” were responsible for 9/11 as well as both World Wars, is currently having her case heard by the Medical Practitioner Tribunal Service.
The hearing into the conduct of Dr Najmiah Ahmad, a consultant working for the NHS’s Frimley Health foundation trust in Surrey, began yesterday. The MPTS indicated that “the tribunal will 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.”
According to a report by the Daily Mail, the tribunal service misconduct hearing, which began yesterday, heard that Dr Ahmed had shared social media posts regarding 9/11, one of which 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.”
According to the paper, Katie Nowell, barrister for the General Medical Council (GMC), told the tribunal that a complaint about Ahmad’s conduct was received in February 2024 from the Jewish Medical Association (JMA), citing her social media posts.
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.”
According to the Mail, Ahmad told the tribunal “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 tribunal hearing is due to end on 13 January.
