An NHS physician embroiled in accusations of antisemitism and Holocaust denial has openly advocated for Jihad in London, referring to armed Palestinian militants as ‘heroes’.

Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan, who specializes in trauma and orthopaedics, is currently under scrutiny for a series of provocative social media posts. These posts include content praising the terrorist group Hamas and previously stating her refusal to denounce the attack on October 7.

In addition, she has described a hospital in north London as a ‘Jewish supremacy cesspit’ in the past.

Last month, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) determined that her posts did not constitute ‘bullying or harassment,’ leading them to decide against suspension.

However, following criticism from Health Secretary Wes Streeting, the General Medical Council has reassigned the case to the MPTS, scheduling a new hearing for October 23.

Recent footage has surfaced showing Dr. Aladwan expressing her support for Jihadist fighters. A former MP and peer told the Daily Mail that the GMC needs to take decisive action and consider suspending her.

The video was taken at a protest held outside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in Whitehall on July 21, to coincide with a reported visit by Major General Tomer Bar, head of the Israeli Air Force.

Speaking to dozens of protesters, who were flanked by Met Police officers, Dr Aladwan spoke about the five ‘Palestinian principles of liberation’.

Dr Aladwan has come under investigation over several ‘dangerous’ social media posts littered with praise for terrorist organisation Hamas and previously said she would ‘never condemn’ the October 7 attack

One of them, she said, included ‘armed resistance’ and said those who participate in such activity are ‘heroes’.

Dr Aladwan said: ‘The Palestinian people who are fighting for liberation, including armed struggle as per international law, [are] our heroes. Every single one of them.

‘We are proud of our armed resistance and in Islam, we call that jihad. That’s an honour. That’s how you defend your people.’

Elsewhere in her speech, Dr Aladwan referred to Israel as ‘the terrorist entity’ and said: ‘It does not exist. It sits on top of Palestine and it must be dismantled.’

In similar comments later, she addressed the crowd and said: ‘For me, Palestine is the entirety of the map. Israel does not exist. And I can say that legally, I have my opinion.’

Dr Aladwan’s strong-held views, which are openly posted onto her social media accounts, have previously sparked controversy.

This included a claim that ‘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’.

On July 30, she claimed the Royal Free Hospital in north London, which serves a large Jewish community, was a ‘Jewish supremacy cesspit’.

Dr Aladwan she sparked outrage last month after describing two gunmen involved in a fatal mass shooting in Jerusalem as ‘two Palestinian martyrs’

And last month she sparked outrage after describing two gunmen involved in a fatal mass shooting in Jerusalem as ‘two Palestinian martyrs’.

Dr Aladwan made the comment to her more than 33,000 followers on X just hours after the frenzied attack took place and resulted in the deaths of six people, including a pregnant woman. 

Referring to the killings as a ‘shooting operation’, she wrote: ‘This morning, the two Palestinian martyrs Muthanna Amro and Muhammad Taha bypassed the occupation’s fortified checkpoints and carried out a shooting operation at a settlers’ bus in the ‘Ramot’ settlement and killed 6 settlers.

‘Palestine has never been safe for occupiers. Leave.’

In other social media posts, Dr Aladwan described anti-Semitism and the Holocaust as ‘concepts’ used by Jewish people to ‘promote a narrative of victimhood’.   

Following October 7 and Israel’s military response to Hamas, her posts have included pictures of masked men holding rifles alongside fire emojis and a photo of a masked toddler wearing the trademark fluorescent green Hamas headband.

She also shared a picture of a masked militant holding a large gun with the words: ‘A picture of AlQasem a day keeps the Zs [Zionists] locked away’, an apparent reference to the Al-Qassam brigade, the military wing of Hamas.

Last night, concerned advocates called on the GMC to address the ‘shameful state of affairs’ and urged Met Police to investigate why Dr Aladwan was allowed to freely support armed Palestinian resistance in a public space.

Dr Aladwan’s earlier social media posts show rhetoric littered with praise for Hamas

She has been reported to the GMC multiple times and accused by campaigners of holding ‘dangerous views’

Alex Hearn from Labour Against Antisemitism, said: ‘How can any NHS patient – and especially Jewish patients – feel comfortable under her care? 

‘This dangerous doctor’s open support for Jihadist terrorists who massacred 1,200 Israelis on October 7 and raped hundreds of young women at the Nova music festival means she must be immediately removed from duty and sacked.

‘It is also very worrying that she made these remarks within earshot of police officers who did absolutely nothing. Her words were very clear. Why wasn’t she arrested at the time?

‘Dr Aladwan has made similar remarks in support of Hamas terrorists time and again on social media. 

‘We have been complaining to the police and General Medical Council for almost a year yet she remains free to work shifts in NHS hospitals. 

‘That is a shameful state of affairs that demands urgent action from the very top of government.’

Lord Austin, the independent peer and former Labour MP, said: ‘It is utterly disgraceful that this NHS doctor gave a speech saying she supported armed Palestinian terrorists and jihad in front of police officers and she was not arrested. 

‘The Met must answer for this failure and must now put it right by investigating this. 

‘Furthermore, I hope the GMC finally gets a grip and that she is struck off because NHS patients deserve to be protected from someone who holds these dangerous views.’

Following the initial ruling to take no further action, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he had no faith in the medical regulator.

‘The racist language of ‘Jewish supremacy’ reflects the values of Nazis, not the NHS,’ he wrote on X.

‘I fail to see how medics using such language with impunity doesn’t undermine confidence in the medical profession. I have no confidence in our regulation system.’

Last night, Met Police said in a statement it would review why there had been no intervention by officers at the time of the protest, as well as reviewing the material to ‘establish whether any offences have been committed.’

A spokesperson said: ‘We can understand why the comments made in this video are a cause of significant concern.

‘While the Crown Prosecution Service has previously determined that similar language used at protests did not cross the threshold into a criminal offence, each incident is specific and we would expect officers to intervene and take action so that an investigation can follow. 

‘We will be reviewing this incident to understand why that didn’t happen.

‘Officers will also review the footage in its entirety to establish whether any offences have been committed, liaising with our CPS counterparts as necessary.’
