British Doctor Charged With Supporting Hamas After String of Antisemitic Social Media Posts

A National Health Service doctor who praised the October 7 massacre and made a series of antisemitic statements on social media has been charged with inviting support for the Hamas terror organization, UK media reported.

Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan was arrested at her home after violating bail conditions stemming from previous arrests. She was set to appear in court Friday.

The charges follow a pattern of inflammatory posts that drew widespread condemnation. On the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023, attack, Aladwan praised the assault as “the day ‘Israel’ was humiliated,” writing that Israeli “supremacy” had been “shattered at the hands of the children they forced out of their homes.” She accompanied the post with a photograph of a bulldozer breaching the Gaza border fence and wrote, “Glory to the breaking of the 17-year-long illegal siege.”

In other posts, Aladwan wrote that “the UK is occupied and controlled by Jewish supremacy — in fact most Christian majority countries are,” and called on rabbis to “reject the Amalek commandment and the notion that non-Jews are lesser than goyim.”

The case has drawn renewed scrutiny to a decision made last year by the British Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service to allow Aladwan to continue practicing medicine despite her posts, a ruling that critics argued sent the wrong signal about the professional consequences of incitement.

The charges against Aladwan come amid a broader British crackdown on expressions of support for proscribed terror organizations following October 7, with prosecutors having pursued a number of cases under laws banning the glorification or encouragement of terrorism.
