‘Jewish supremacy’ doctor to appear in court charged with support for Hamas
Rahmeh Aladwan, who has been arrested for a fifth time after breaching her bail conditions, will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court
A British Palestinian doctor has been charged with multiple counts of supporting a proscribed terror organisation and will appear in court on Friday after being arrested for breaching bail conditions following previous arrests.
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, from Pilning, South Gloucestershire, has been charged with numerous offences, as detailed by a Met police statement.
The offences span a six-month period from July to December 2025, and include multiple charges of inviting support for a terrorist organisation – Hamas, as well as having “used words that were threatening, abusive or insulting intending thereby to stir up racial hatred or having regard to all the circumstances was reckless as to whether racial hatred would be stirred up (Section 18 Public Order Act 1986).” She was also charged with having “published or distributed written material that was threatening, abusive or insulting intending thereby to stir up racial hatred or having regard to all the circumstances was reckless as to whether racial hatred would be stirred up (Section 19 Public Order Act 1986).”
Aladwan, 31, is also currently being investigated by the GMC (General Medical Council) over a series of posts and comments made across various social media platforms, as detailed by Jewish News last year.
While Aladwan was initially let off by a Medical Practitioner Tribunal Service panel which declined to suspend her while the GMC continued its investigation into her conduct, after the first in what has become a series of arrests relating to her conduct, a different MPTS panel finally did suspend her for 15 months while the GMC inspection is underway.
Aladwan’s social media account is littered with daily references to the “Israel lobby”, “Jewish supremacy”, the “British Zionist Jewish lobby” and statements including: “I named Jewish supremacy. I opposed genocide. Now they’re changing the law to strike me off the medical register. This is what happens when the health secretary is controlled by the Zionist Jewish lobby. Britain is an occupied state.”
Following the antisemitic arson attack at Hatzola North West in Golders Green on Monday 23 March and the government provision of replacement vehicles to support the volunteer led Jewish charity that offers life-saving treatment for patients across all faiths, Aladwan posted on Twitter: “Here we are loaning NHS ambulances for a private service. This is not generosity, this is supremacy.”
She also reposted content suggesting the arson was a deliberate attempt to claim insurance money.
After King Charles was announced as a patron of CST, on 24 March Aladwan posted: “The Mossad-linked lobby that takes £80 million of British taxpayer money. They train our police. Lobby our government for ‘israel’. Push hate speech laws. And terrorise citizens who oppose genocide.”
Shared across social media, in a video of her fifth arrest on Thursday 26 March for breaching police bail conditions imposed following previous arrests, her mother can be heard complaining that she has to “see the police every few weeks”, asking them “why do you do this to my daughter?”, “just because she says someone killed children and burned houses and burned tents”, before comparing Aladwan to Nelson Mandela “for the same thing” and saying “Free Palestine” as her daughter is transported to a central London police station.
Holding up her handcuffed hands, Aladwan asks: “This is necessary for a social media post?” and claiming the arrest is “because we don’t want Israel to murder children”, before adding “to murder non Jewish children”, then telling her mother “they won’t break us, I love you; we did nothing wrong, our government is occupied.”
A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “The cycle of repeatedly arresting Dr Aladwan and her breaching bail conditions and being arrested may finally be broken…this is a doctor whose current interim suspension from practice was even in doubt, so pitiful is our healthcare regulation system, and who has been repeatedly arrested and faced effectively no penalty. This case will now be a real test of English justice, and whether it can be delivered for British Jews.”
Aladwan, who has raised £91,790 through a ‘crowd justice’ platform to “fight the UK ‘israel’ lobby and keep my medical licence” has been remanded in custody.
