Yet ANOTHER “Jewish Supremacy” rant doctor reportedly referred to Medical Tribunal
UK Lawyers for Israel says Dr Ellen Kriesels, currently suspended as a consultant paediatrician at the Whittington hospital, has been referred by the GMC to the MPTS
The General Medical Council has reportedly referred another doctor who regularly engages in rhetoric about “Jewish supremacy” to the Medical Practitioners’ Tribunal Service, with Jewish News understanding that an interim orders tribunal is due to take place in mid-November.
Dr Ellen Kriesels was suspended from her role as a Consultant Paediatrician at the Whittington hospital in September. Kriesels, who was also a named doctor for child protection at the hospital, had attended multiple pro-Palestinian protests with a placard featuring a Star David and the words “Rape, steal, cry, kill, cheat, lie” at each of the star’s six points. Her social media accounts were replete with statements such as ““Virtually every Jew has some feelings of supremacy (result of their Zionist upbringing) and they might oppose Zionism, but they are not going to challenge their precious community. That just doesn’t feel right to them!”
The referral, which the GMC was unable to confirm, reportedly has come after the UK Lawyers for Israel organisation filed an official complaint about Kriesels in early October.
It was UKLFI which released a statement welcoming what it described as the GMC’s prompt decision to refer the matter to an Interim Orders Tribunal, saying: “We are pleased that the GMC has acted swiftly following our complaint. Healthcare professionals must uphold the highest ethical standards, and expressions of antisemitism are wholly incompatible with medical practice.”
Kriesels also responded to a Twitter account which described Jews as being “addicted to victimisation”, by saying “Jewish supremacy is the ideology at the root of all this evil. Jewish supremacy is prevalent among Jews who are into Judaism (religious/observant) and amongst Jews who are not into Judaism but are still as Jewish. They are into ‘Jewishness’. Ridiculous, I know.”
In response to a tweet from a Canadian-based doctor claiming, among other things, that “Jews are the most racist, violent people on earth”, Kriesels said: “And anybody saying ‘not all Jews’ doesn’t get it. You are like the ‘not all men’ (Me Too protests) and ‘all lives matter’ (BLM protest) brigades. Clutching your pearls and deflecting from the evil that is going on; Jews slaughtering non-Jews.”
Talking about 7 October 2023, when Hamas murdered 1,200 men, woman and children, the paediatrician said “Some Jews ‘merely’ say it was a progrom [sic]. Other Jews ‘merely’ say that it was antisemitic. Always trying to frame the Jews as victims. So ridiculous,. So excruciating. So exhausting.” Referring to Hamas members killed in Gaza, Specifically describing Hamas members killed in Gaza, Kriesels said: “The non-civilians are Hamas and whether they are 1% or 18% of the Palestinians slaughtered, they should not have been killed either. Do not whitewash the murder of Hamas members. They are a political party and oppressed resistance fighters. NOT terrorists.”
Even vocally anti-Zionist Jews did not escape Kriesel’s animus. Responding to condemnation of Jews who held up “Not in my name” signs opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza, she said: “It can only be chanted by Jews, emphasising their perceived exclusivity. Same with the Jewish bloc at marches; emphasising Jewish exclusivity. Did men form male exclusive blocs at ‘Me Too’ marches? Or whites at BLM marches? Jewish supremacy at every turn.”
UKLFI correspondence to the GMC cited what they described as multiple breaches of the GMC’s Good Medical Practice guidance, including duties relating to respect, impartiality, and public trust.
The organisation also noted that her conduct in brandishing her sign at various public protests could breach the Public Order Act 1986, which prohibits displaying abusive or insulting material likely to cause harassment or stir up racial hatred.
A UKLFI spokesperson said: “It is unacceptable for a doctor in a position of trust to publicly express racist and antisemitic views. Her conduct undermines public confidence in the medical profession.”
The GMC said: “Interim Orders Tribunal (IOT) hearings are held in private unless the doctor subject to the IOT asks for the hearing to be heard in public.
“This means we do not disclose information about referrals.”
