Still fit to practice medicine

Yesterday in the Jewish News:

A doctor who regularly posts diatribes about “Jewish supremacy” on social media and has called for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel has been allowed by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) to continue practicing medicine while the General Medical Council investigates her conduct.

Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, who was also a member of Palestine Action before its proscription as a terrorist organisation, is now infamous within the British Jewish community for such claims as “the UK is occupied and controlled by Jewish supremacy – in fact, most Christian majority countries are”, and that the Royal Free Hospital in London, which has a large number of Jewish patients given its location, is a “Jewish Supremacy Cesspit”.

Today:

The health secretary has launched an unprecedented attack on the UK’s medical regulation system, saying he has “no confidence” in its ability to keep patients safe after a doctor who called for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel was allowed to continue practising….

In a strongly worded statement to Jewish News, Health Secretary Wes Streeting responded to the MPTS ruling, saying: “The racist language of ‘Jewish supremacy’ reflects the values of Nazis, not the NHS. I fail to see how medics using such language with impunity doesn’t undermine confidence in the medical profession. I have no confidence in the ability of our medical regulation system to keep patients safe and I am taking urgent advice on next steps.”
