‘UK controlled by Jewish supremacy’ doctor referred to Interim Orders Tribunal
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan shared screenshots from Jewish News articles about her actions alongside her announcement of the referral
A notorious “part Palestinian British NHS doctor”, who regularly posts diatribes about “Jewish supremacy” on social media has announced that she has been referred to an Interim Orders Tribunal (IOT), pointing to articles from Jewish News as part of the reason for the referral.
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, who was also an activist for Palestine Action until the group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July, announced on Friday that “the UK ‘israel’ lobby has pressured my government and medical board into referring me to a tribunal hearing to try and suspend me for opposing genocide. This is Britain. We are occupied.”
She went on to say: “I am a part-Palestinian British NHS doctor. I am facing the suspension of my medical licence”, and claimed that “this is not the result of any professional failure, but the outcome of a coordinated lobbying campaign against me because of my public stance against the genocide in Gaza being carried out with my tax pounds.”
Aladwan shared pictures of two Jewish News articles together with her tweet.
In reality, as Jewish News readers will be aware, Aladwan has repeatedly and continuously made highly inflammatory statements about Jews, including the claim that “the UK is occupied and controlled by Jewish supremacy – in fact most Christian majority countries are” and that “Rabbis need to reject the Amalek commandment and the notion that non-jews are lesser than goyim.”
She previously described the Royal Free Hospital in London, which due to its location sees a large number of Jewish patients, as a “Jewish supremacy cesspit”, and has stated “doctors and healthcare workers who support ‘Israel’ are complicit in crimes against humanity. For the safety of children and the public, they must be investigated.”
Aladwan has also directed her vitriol against Jewish schools in the UK, stating that that “the total number of anti-supremacist (anti-Zionist) Jewish schools in the UK is ZERO. There are 136 Jewish schools in Britain, many of which are funded by our taxes, where 36,064 British Jewish children are taught that they are superior to non-Jews, that they have the right to colonise Palestine and are groomed through birthright trips to become colonisers, upholders of apartheid, and genocidal IOF terrorists. This has to stop.”
Aladwan has also made no secret of her thoughts on Hamas. She has previously posted: “I don’t condemn Hamas. I don’t condemn October 7. I don’t condemn armed resistance to Occupation. I condemn ‘Israel’.”
At a rally in Leeds earlier this month, Aladwan claimed that Western governments, including in the UK, were now “occupied by Zionism, which is Jewish supremacy – that’s the definition of Zionism.” She also claimed that a quarter of UK MPs are “collaborators” and “foreign agents” who “put the interests of Israel above the interests of Britain.”
During her remarks, Aladwan said she had “called on my anti-Zionist Jewish colleagues and allies and friends to hold their Jewish communities accountable…we appeal to our allies, those anti-Zionist Jews, to nurture anti-Zionism in their communities.”
It is unclear which “allies” Aladwan is referring to. In recent days, she appears to have picked fights on social media with some of the UK’s most vociferous Jewish anti-Zionists, including Tony Greenstein, Mark Elf (the blogger and tweeter behind “Jews Sans Frontieres”) and even Jackie Walker.
Earlier today, in response to a tweet from Walker querying whether Aladwan really advocates for the expulsion of Jews who have lived in Israel since the 1880s, Aladwan responded by sharing a Hamas video of terrorists with a hostage which says “Our message to the people of ‘Israel’…if you stay, we will destroy your state and tear down your temple and bring down your glory and destroy you utterly”.
Aladwan’s response to Walker, written alongside the video, was “None of us get to decide. The Palestinians decide. The resistance decides.”
Aladwan has previously posted on social media that she was “not trying to be unreasonable, but every f***ing settler will leave Palestine. It’s not for liberal Jewish supremacists (Zionists) or their enablers to decide that Palestinians must live with their land thieves, murderers and rapists. Algeria did it. So will Palestine.”
In the aftermath of the Algerian War of Independence, which ended in 1962, all but a small number of the country’s 140,000 Jews left the country, most going to France although some left for Israel. According to the United States Commission report on International religious freedom, the Nationality Code passed in 1963 deprived non-Muslims of Algerian citizenship.
In a further screed today, Aladwan hit out against those she described as “British Jewish supremacists harassing attacking smearing and threatening me”, saying that “YOU have no right to operate in Britain. YOU are foreign agents for an evil, illegitimate, apartheid, jewish supremacist and extremist settler colony committing [sic] a Holocaust. YOU are illegally occupying my great grandfather’s land right now.”
Aladwan’s referral to the IOT does not guarantee that she will no longer be able to practice medicine in the UK. Jewish News reported last month about how a friend of Aladwan’s, Dr Rehiana Ali, had her suspension lifted by the IOT, despite her having similarly regularly posted diatribes about “Jewish extremism”, including sharing a claim that “Judaism is the only religion in human history whose religious texts (e.g., Mishneh Torah) literally prescribe a sacred command to kill every Christian on earth”, with her own statement above the claim saying “I think people need to address jewish extremism especially Christians.” She also shared a wide range of conspiracy theories about Jews, including the false claim that “4,000 Jews did not show up to work” on 9/11 and an attempt to ask whether Richard Nixon’s identification of a number of people as Jewish in White House tape recordings “explained” the Watergate scandal which led to his resignation.
The GMC told Jewish News that it was “only able to confirm the publicly available information about doctors as it appears on the medical register.”
At the time of writing, Aladwan is still registered on the GMC website with a license to practice, which suggests that she will not have her licence suspended prior to the hearing.
