The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) said Dr Aladwan’s posts “may impact on patient confidence” in both her and the profession, while patients could be “discouraged” from seeking treatment from her.
Dr Aladwan, who is British Palestinian, denies making racist or hate speech.
Her lawyer told the tribunal there was “no evidence” that her activities have had “any impact on patient safety or her ability to fulfil her duties as a doctor”.
Dr Aladwan’s suspension will take effect from today and will be reviewed within six months.
In the tribunal’s ruling, it said it “notes that there is no information to suggest that any patient complaints have been raised or that any patients have come to harm”.
Responding to the tribunal’s ruling on X, Dr Aladwan said: “Let this decision stand as the definitive proof that there is no independent British medical regulation. The ‘Israeli’ and Jewish lobby decide who can and cannot practise medicine in Britain.”
It’s interesting that they don’t provide any of the tweets for context.
Are they as inflammatory as MPTS suggests or is this Israeli pressure, as has been seen in other institutions?
The lack of tweets would leave me to conclude the evidence is flimsy and this is a witchhunt but it could just be weak reporting.
You’re absolutely right. In fact she had previously been cleared by the GMC of any wrongdoing, but Wes Streeting, the odious health secretary, insisted they’d made the wrong decision so a new investigation was initiated. It’s disgusting.
It’s a Zionist smear campaign. The fact that there were no complaints by any patients really tells you all you need to know.
It’s a Zionist smear campaign.
I’ll stop reading here.
Patients are often scared to complain about Doctors. If this person wants to fight for Hamas, that’s her choice, but she clearly has lost sense of professional conduct to be a doctor.

No they’re not. Especially not in the UK.

Could have just spared everyone this verbal diarrhea.
someone: its bad israel commits genocide
the uk: burn the antisemite
To me, that’s a little stronger than “it’s bad Israel commits genocide”, but judge for yourself.
None of that is evidence though, that’s just a list of accusations.
Sure, but the whole thing is alleged. My point is that it’s misleading to characterise those accusations as merely being an accusation that she said Israel committing genocide is bad.
I’m not sober right now, but… what?
It’s misleading to characterise accusations as evidence.
Based on numerous instances of Israeli pressure on organisations, it’s reasonable to question legitimacy of accusations like this. It may be legitimate, but your list doesn’t create any form of legitimacy because it’s just a list of accusations. Evidence is what proves legitimacy. Has that been released to the public? Are the tweets still available?
Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done.

It’s misleading to characterise accusations as evidence.
What makes you think I’m characterising them as evidence?
cupcakezealot implied that it only takes accusations of calling out Israel for genocide, for the UK to cry antisemitism.
I’m saying these accusations are a lot more serious than that.
all of those things are things the west literally do do anyone palastinian though.
What do you mean by “the west”? Some people in western society do those things, many don’t.
And given that one of those things is holding all Jews responsible for the actions of the Israeli government, isn’t that a somewhat hypocritical accusation to level at the entirety of western society?
She got Corbyn’d
Anyone know what’s she’s alleged to have said?
Well, it’s Lemmy, so immediately we get tribal responses from both sides of two sides of a conflict that would do exactly the same thing to each other if they had the chance.
She compared Israel to Nazis and holocaust
She doxxed a former colleague on socal media. There were multiple complaints from her colleagues and the public.
She celebrated an attack on a Manchester Synagogue.
“outlined a large number of Dr Aladwan’s posts which she submitted involve social media activity which allegedly justifies terrorism, denies sexual violence, includes antisemitic conspiracy theories, misuses Holocaust and Nazi imagery and expresses support for proscribed groups and terrorist acts including the Al-Aqsa flood (the name Hamas gave to its large-scale surprise attack on Israel on 07/10/2023).”
There is a long list of infractions, but the general theme is that she was not only anti Israel, but blamed all Jews worldwide, Jews control the media, etc. etc.
Exact quote: ‘May God…gather you with the Jews, the killers of children, in the fire".
Overall, it goes on for pages outlining a toxic person who has gone off the deep end and has lost any professional composure. The response from her lawyer is basically, “Did not…did not… did not…”
so immediately we get tribal responses from both sides
Good thing you’re providing the defense of Israel side, since nobody else on Lemmy is willing to do that.
