NHS consultant filmed calling for Israel to be ‘wiped off the map’ in London protest speech
Footage shows doctor praising Iran and urging closure of Israeli and US embassies in UK
An NHS consultant has called for Israel to be “wiped off the face of the map” during a speech outside the US Embassy in London on 4 April.
Footage circulating online shows Ranjeet Brar addressing a crowd, praising Iran and its regional allies while urging action against Western governments.
In the speech, Brar says Iran is “rewriting the map of the Middle East” and “ejecting US imperialists from the whole region”. He adds that he supported the continued Iranian strikes against Israel.
He describes Israel as a “genocidal, settler colonial entity” which “has no right to existence” and says it “needs to be wiped off the face of the map”.
Brar also expresses support for groups in Lebanon and Yemen, saying he wants to see their “resistance triumph” and “thrive”.
He calls for the removal of all US troops from the UK and for both the Israeli and US embassies in London to be shut. He also urges the creation of a “resistance movement” in Britain and calls for the current government to be removed from power.
During the speech, he refers to “financiers in the City of London” as “parasites” and accuses them of controlling global wealth and driving conflict.
A spokesperson for King’s College Hospital said: “We are aware of the footage in question, and we are investigating.”
Brar was arrested in 2024 on suspicion of inciting racial hatred after distributing a pamphlet containing antisemitic conspiracy theories, including imagery combining a Star of David with a swastika. The material also promoted claims about “Zionist” control and repeated widely discredited narratives about Jewish identity and history.
He has also publicly promoted the false claim that Israel harvests organs from Palestinians, an allegation widely condemned as a modern form of the blood libel.
Brar is associated with the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist), a group that has organised activity at protests since 7 October and has previously defended the pamphlet.
The Metropolitan Police has been approached for comment.
