Video of the Arrest of Dr Rahmeh Aladwan

Last Tuesday, Dr Rahmeh Aladwan was arrested by the Metropolitan Police for three offences of making malicious communications and one offence of inciting racial hatred. What was the basis of these allegations? Well the Police officer arresting her told Rahmeh that on 21 July, at a demonstration outside the Foreign & Commonwealth Office she called for the eradication of the State of Israel.

Since when have calls for eradicating the genocidal and apartheid Israeli state been tantamount to inciting racial hatred or ‘anti-Semitism’? This could only be a possible offence if there is an inseparable link between Israeli Apartheid and British Jews. Clearly the numbskulls of the Metropolitan Police, especially their racist Commissioner Mark Rowley, have never heard of anti-Zionist Jews.

So a question to those who dreamt up these charges. Were calls to abolish the Nazi state an example of anti-German racism?  Or calls to abolish or eradicate the Apartheid South African State anti-White racism?  To merely ask the question is to answer it.

If anyone is being anti-Semitic it is the Metropolitan Police, who never lose an opportunity to link British Jews with Zionism’s genocide. It should never be forgotten that when Hitler was alive and kicking his disciples in the form of the British Union of Fascists were marching through the Jewish East End of London protected by the same Met Police who are now so concerned with ‘anti-Semitism’.

The Met are no more concerned about anti-Semitism than they are about any other form of racism. The Met are a cesspit of racism. They have repeatedly been found to be institutionally racist by the MacPherson Inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence and even by Thatcherite Baronness Louise Casey. Only in the past month Police at Charing Cross Police have been caught out up to their old tricks in a Panorama programme.

The sincerity of the Met can be gauged by the fact that they haven’t arrested a single Zionist for glorifying in and denying the genocide that Israel is carrying out in Gaza. If the government denies there is a genocide then why should the Met contradict them?

Although Rahmeh has been the target of the viciously racist pro-Israel lobby – the so-called Campaign Against Antisemitism and the equally poisonous UK Lawyers for Israel [UKLFI], it is the British state that has moved into action.  Jews for them are a convenient alibi and pretext. The attack on Palestine solidarity activists is because British foreign policy is joined at the hip with that of the United States and Israel.

It is important not to invert this and believe that the British state is acting on behalf of the Israeli state and its stooges like the Board of Deputies. British imperialism has always been pro-Zionist as has the United States.  Israel is their racist Rottweiler in the Middle East.

Dr Radwan’s treatment has been disgraceful, even by British standards. In effect, having been found not guilty at her first hearing that despicable apology for a human being, the corrupt Wes Streeting demanded a rehearing of the charges. See here.

The UK 'israel' lobby has pressured my government and medical board into referring me to a tribunal hearing to try and suspend me for opposing genocide. This is Britain. We are occupied.

Dr Radwan was first referred to a hearing of the Medical Practitioner Tribunal Service by the General Medical Council [GMC] on 27 August. At the hearing on 25 September the GMC asked for conditions to be placed on Dr Radwan’s practice and the MPTS refused. She was found to have no case to answer. It appears that this decision has been scrubbed from the Internet. Although it appears in a Google search the page itself has disappeared. The Tribunal found that

·         There was no evidence that patient safety had been put at risk.

·         The GMC’s concerns arose solely from political statements, not from Dr Aladwan’s clinical practice, which remains unblemished.

·         A “reasonable and fully informed member of the public” would not be alarmed to learn that she continued unrestricted practice while the investigation proceeds.

In Place of the Missing Page

There was a fierce backlash from Streeting, who only held his seat in Ilford North by 500 votes, against the British Palestinian Leanne Mohammed. On 6 October Streeting was quoted in The Times as calling for medical institutions to ‘crack down on antisemitism’.

The issue was posed in terms of the danger to Jewish patients. Streeting warned that hospitals and medical institutions are “completely failing to protect Jewish patients”. The fact that these lies are carried without comment demonstrates the lengths the British press is willing to go to support Israel. There isn’t one verifiable example of a doctor with Palestinian sympathies injuring or failing to care for someone who is Jewish. Not one example.

However the treatment of Black and Muslim people in the NHS is a different matter. A third of Black and Ethnic Minority staff face racist abuse at work. Not that you would know from Streeting’s comments. His only concern are for a section of White people.  His allegations are completely unevidenced but were nonetheless seized upon by the Tory press.

The first ten NHS doctors to die of COVID were predominantly Muslim and from either a Black, Asian or Arabic background. Black and minority ethnic people are 40 percent more likely to access mental health services via the criminal justice system than white people. But this kind of racism is not something that Streeting, The Times or Telegraph is concerned with.

After a campaign by the Israel funded, so-called Campaign Against Antisemitism [CAA] (which is really a Campaign Against the Palestinians) the GMC rereferred Dr Aladwan’s case back to the MPTS on 3 October.  A hearing of the MPTS was held on 23 October and the MPTS agreed to hear the case again although it had already dismissed it previously.

At the second hearing on 23 Oct the GMC asked for the suspension of Dr Aladwan and the inclusion of all material from first hearing, which the MPTS agreed to. This is going to go ahead to a 3 day hearing date on a date yet to be confirmed. The GMC even want to add material they had before the first hearing but didn't submit. The video below and also this tweet explains the whole of this torturous attempt at the crucifixion of Dr Aladwan.

Dr Rahmeh Aladwan's Instagram Post Explaining the Background to her Case Before the MPTS

One factor in all of this has been the supine behaviour of the GMC which has  done its best to persecute Dr Aladwan.  Yet when it comes to genuine anti-Semitism from Zionists it behaves entirely differently. On 21 January 2024 I received a message from a Justin Stebbing which read:

At first I thought it was either from a neo-Nazi or a lunatic or both.  I wasn’t far wrong.  He is a lunatic Zionist. Justin Stebbing is a visiting professor at Imperial College and he is still listed on their website.

It is interesting to contrast the witch-hunt against Dr Aladwan, who hasn’t made any remotely similar comments with that of Stebbing. Imperial College in the form of HR Director, Harbhajan Brar, refused to do anything. I complained to the Met Police who were also reluctant to do anything. Eventually Sussex Police referred a complaint to the Crown Prosecution Service who also refused to do anything.  The Police Officer in the case informed me that the CPS had concluded that

a jury would be unlikely to conclude that he meant what he said literally, based on the surrounding circumstances, so there was no realistic prospect of conviction if the matter went to court.

Stebbing claimed that his remarks were ironic and he hadn’t meant them. There was nothing ironic about them. Sending someone Jewish an email out of the blue (because I’d never had contact with this reptile before) saying that all Jews should be gassed is clearly malicious as per the Malicious Communications Act under which Dr Radwan has been arrested. But of course the CPS is a highly political animal and it knows better than to prosecute a prominent Zionist.

I also complained to the GMC. Given their hyper activity in Dr Radwan’s case one might suppose that they would have been eager to suspend Stebbing. It was not as if he didn’t have form. In December 2021 he was suspended by the MPTS for nine months.

Stebbing was guilty of a “cavalier” approach in the way he treated some patients. This including sending “inappropriate” emails to a dying patient he nicknamed LMT (Little Miss Trouble). It would seem that I wasn’t the first victim of Stebbing.

But in my case the GMC exonerated him without even a reprimand. Stebbing was defended by UKLFI and by the CAA.  So what we have are the two most prominent Zionist organisations involved in making false ‘anti-Semitism’ allegations against Palestinian supporters defending someone guilty of making vile anti-Semitic comments about gassing Jews. This is par for the course with Zionists. They have never had any objection to genuine anti-Semitism, only anti-Zionism.

In the process the CAA/UKLFI alleged that I had been found guilty of being a ‘notorious anti-Semite’ myself when I made an unsuccessful libel claim against the CAA. However even the GMC was aware that in libel a defence of honest opinion merely finds the libel hasn’t been proven, not that it was correct. This in itself is an indication of the dishonesty of these Zionist organisations. The GMC nonetheless found that

Yet despite this finding the GMC declined to apply any penalty. The contrast with Dr Radwan, who has made no offensive remarks to anyone Jewish, even if some of her comments regarding ‘Jewish supremacy’ may be over the top, is astonishing. It is as clear a case of double standards as one could hope to find.

The justification for not imposing a warning on Stebbing is equally astonishing:

The double standards are self-evident. Criticism of Israel and Zionism is a hanging offence. Telling someone Jewish that all Jews should have been gassed is something that can be treated leniently. Incidentally the blacked out portions of the decision almost certainly relate to Stebbing’s previous striking off from the register which suggest that such an emotionally charged man is certainly not someone who should be near patients.  Again in contrast to Dr Aladwan who has handled herself with great aplomb and poise.

The full GMC decision can be downloaded here.

It is clear from the behaviour of the Police, CPS, GMC and Imperial College that when it comes to genuine anti-Semitism from Zionists and supporters of Israel, then the traditional defences go up.  Accusations of false anti-Semitism when made in support of Genocide in Palestine are, by contrast, treated seriously.

The lesson to draw from this is that the purported concern over anti-Semitism by the Met Police and the State in this and other cases is entirely spurious. Likewise the defence of Stebbing by the CAA and UKLFI demonstrates that these organisations are only interested in ‘anti-Semitism’ when defence of Israel is on the agenda.

This should also be a lesson to those in the Palestine solidarity movement who believe that the British state is genuinely concerned with anti-Semitism. It is the same with Donald Trump in the United States whose racism is a matter of record. But when it comes to ‘anti-Semitism’ and the ‘plight’ of Zionist Jewish students on campus Trump was so concerned that he threatened universities with defunding unless they fell into line and policed discourse on campus, in particular courses covering the Middle East.

Just as an addendum.  Rahmeh has attributed support for Israel amongst British Jews to ‘Jewish Supremacism’.  I think this is wrong. The reasons why British Jews have tended to support Israel are complex but racial superiority is confined to a minority of Zionist zealots such as Jonathan Hoffman.

The Jewish community in Britain has moved decisively to the right since 1945 when half the vote for Phil Piratin, the Communist candidate in the Mile End constituency in the East End, resulted in the first Jewish Communist MP.

In 1979 when both a Communist and a National Front candidate stood in Hackney North at the General Election, Professor Geoffrey Alderman could not discern a single Jewish vote for the Communist but estimated that a few hundred Jews voted for the holocaust denying National Front.

Zionism as a settler colonial and imperialist ideology is clearly attractive to those on the right. Coupled with its sense of victimhood arising out of the weaponisation of the holocaust, British Jews have been complicit in enabling Starmer and Lammy to support Israel’s genocide. However it would be wrong to ascribe the support of the British state to either the Zionist lobby or British Jews. The latter are the State’s moral alibi. It is not why the British state supports Israel.

Notwithstanding the above it is incumbent upon anti-Zionist Jews to give their full support to Rahmeh in her battles with the Medical Establishment and the Metropolitan Police. She is being attacked, not because of anti-Semitism but because she is a supporter of the Palestinians.

Brighton Rally and March Against Genocide in Palestine

The Longer Israel Attacks a Defenceless People the More Its Support Drains Away

There was a massive rally at the Clocktower in Brighton today and then an even larger march, with over a thousand people taking part, to the Level in Brighton.  Here are some photographs and videos.

Once again it shows that Brighton is the capital of the anti-Zionist and Palestinian struggle in Britain!  Well the Zionists claim we are the anti-Semitic capital but we know what Zionists mean when they say ‘anti-Semitism’.

Also I am including a wonderful video made by the journalist Abby Martin in Gaza describing life under siege in Gaza.

And below that I include an article on the other aspect of what is happening in Israel itself. For the first time since the beginning of the Second Intifada in 2000 Israel’s Palestinian population have mobilised in support of the struggle against the occupation and in particular the desecration by Israeli police thugs of the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

This has been met with vigilante squads of Israeli fascists attacking Israeli Palestinians in their homes, including burning down mosques and Palestinian shops.  This vigilante violence, although condemned by Israeli politicians has been supported if not encouraged by the Israeli police who have stood by as Palestinians have been lynched and dragged out of their cars.

Let us remember that the Zionist movement can trace its origins to the pogroms against Jews in Odessa in 1881. Zionism has now decided to replicate the actions of the anti-Semites with its own pogroms against Palestinians. That is some achievement.

It demonstrates that racism and fascism is not genetic or peculiar to any people or group.  Given the right set of circumstances any people can become racists and murderers and that is Zionism’s achievement in its ‘Jewish’ state.

Jerusalem protests: The mob ‘breaking faces’ learned from Israel’s establishment

4 May 2021

A quarter of Israeli Jews recognise their rule over Palestinians as ‘apartheid’. The question is whether they think that’s a bad thing

Jonathan Cook

Middle East Eye – 4 May 2021

Inside the Israeli parliament and out on the streets of Jerusalem, the forces of unapologetic Jewish supremacism are stirring, as a growing section of Israel’s youth tire of the two-faced Jewish nationalism that has held sway in Israel for decades.

Last week, Bezalel Smotrich, leader of the far-right Religious Zionism faction, a vital partner if caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stands any hope of forming a new government, issued a barely veiled threat to Israel’s large Palestinian minority.

Expulsion, he suggested, was looming for these 1.8 million Palestinians, a fifth of the Israeli population who enjoy very degraded citizenship. “Arabs are citizens of Israel – for now at least,” he told his party. “And they have representatives at the Knesset [Israeli parliament] – for now at least.” For good measure, he referred to Palestinian legislators – the elected representatives of Israel’s Palestinian minority – as “our enemies sitting in the Knesset”.

Smotrich’s brand of brazen Jewish racism is on the rise, after his faction won six mandates in the 120-member parliament in March. One of those seats is for Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the neo-fascist Jewish Power party.

Ben Gvir’s supporters are now in a bullish mood. Last month, they took to the streets around the occupied Old City of Jerusalem, chanting “Death to Arabs” and making good on promises in WhatsApp chats to attack Palestinians and “break their faces”.

For days, these Jewish gangs of mostly youngsters have brought the lawless violence that has long reigned largely out of sight in the hills of the occupied West Bank into central Jerusalem. This time, their attacks haven’t been captured in shaky, out-of-focus YouTube videos. They have been shown on prime-time Israeli TV.

Equally significant, these Jewish mobs have carried out their rampages during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.

Arson attacks

The visibility and premeditation of this gang violence has discomfited many Israelis. But in the process, they have been given a close-up view of how appealing the violent, anti-Arab doctrines of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane – the ideological inspiration behind Jewish Power – are proving with a significant section of young Jews in Israel.

One, sporting a “Kahane was right” badge, spoke for her peers as she was questioned on Israeli TV about the noisy chants of “May your village burn down” – a reference to so-called “price-tag” arson attacks committed by the Israeli far-right against Palestinian communities in the occupied territories and inside Israel.

Olive groves, mosques, cars and homes are regularly torched by these Jewish extremists, who claim Palestinian lands as their exclusive biblical birthright.

The woman responded in terms she obviously thought conciliatory:

“I don’t say that it [a Palestinian village] should burn down, but that you should leave the village and we’ll go live in it.”

She and others now sound impatient to bring forward the day when Palestinians must “leave”.

Machinery of oppression

These sentiments – in the parliament and out on the streets – have not emerged out of nowhere. They are as old as Zionism itself, when Israel’s first leaders oversaw the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from most of their homeland in 1948, in an act of mass dispossession Palestinians called their Nakba (catastrophe).

Violence to remove Palestinians has continued to be at the core of the Jewish state-building project ever since. The rationale for the gangs beating up Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem are the actions pursued more bureaucratically by the Israeli state: its security forces, occupation administrators and courts.

Last week, that machinery of oppression came under detailed scrutiny in a 213-page report from Human Rights Watch. The leading international human rights group declared that Israel was committing the crime of apartheid, as set out in international law.

It argued that Israel had met the three conditions of apartheid in the crime of Ramadan,Meir Kahane Nakba East Jerusalem Human Rights Watch apartheid,Rome Statute: the domination of one racial group over another, systematic oppression of the marginalised group, and inhumane acts. Those acts include forcible transfer, expropriation of landed property, the creation of separate reserves and ghettos, denial of the right to leave and return to their country, and denial of the right to a nationality.

Only one such act is needed to qualify as the crime of apartheid but, as Human Rights Watch makes clear, Israel is guilty of them all.

Dragged out of bed

What Human Rights Watch and other human rights groups have been documenting is equally visible to the gangs roaming Jerusalem. Israel’s official actions share a common purpose, one that sends a clear message to these youngsters about what the state – and Israel’s national ideology of Zionism – aims to achieve.

They see Palestinian land reclassified as Jewish “state land” and the constant expansion of settlements that violate international law. They see Palestinians denied permits to build homes in their own villages. They see orders issued to demolish Palestinian homes, or even entire communities. And they see Palestinian families torn apart as couples, or their children, are refused the right to live together.

Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers shoot Palestinians with impunity, and drag Palestinian children out of bed in the middle of the night. They man checkpoints throughout the occupied West Bank, restricting the movement of Palestinians. They fire on, or “arrest”, Palestinians trying to seek work outside the closed-off ghettos Israel has imposed on them. And soldiers stand guard, or assist, as settlers run amok, attacking Palestinians in their homes and fields.

All of this is invariably rubber-stamped as “legal” by the Israeli courts. Is it any surprise, then, that growing numbers of Israeli teenagers question why all these military, legal and administrative formalities are really necessary? Why not just beat up Palestinians and “break their faces” until they get the message that they must leave?

Uppity natives

The battlefront in Jerusalem in recent days – characterised misleadingly in most media as the site of “clashes” – has been the sunken plaza in front of Damascus Gate, a major entrance to the walled Old City and the Muslim and Christian holy places that lie within.

The gate is possibly the last prominent public space Palestinians can still claim as theirs in central Jerusalem, after decades in which Israeli occupation authorities have gradually encircled and besieged their neighbourhoods, severing them from the Old City. During Ramadan, Damascus Gate serves as a popular communal site for Palestinians to congregate in the evenings after the daytime fast.

It was Israeli police who triggered the current explosive mood in Jerusalem by erecting barriers at Damascus Gate to seal the area off at the start of Ramadan. The pretext was to prevent overcrowding, but – given their long experience of occupation – Palestinians understood the barriers as another “temporary” measure that quickly becomes permanent, making it ever harder for them to access the Old City and their holy sites. Other major gates to the occupied Old City have already been effectively “Judaised”.

The decision of Israeli police to erect barriers cannot be divorced from a bigger context for Palestinians: the continuing efforts by Israeli authorities to evict them from areas around the Old City. In recent weeks, fresh waves of armed Jewish settlers have been moving into Silwan, a Palestinian community in the shadow of al-Aqsa Mosque. They have done so as Israel prepares to raze an entire Palestinian neighbourhood there, using its absolute control over planning issues.

Similarly, the Israeli courts have approved the eviction of Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah, another neighbourhood under belligerent occupation close to the Old City that has been subjected to a long-running, state-backed campaign by Jewish settlers to take it over. Last month, Jerusalem officials added insult to injury by approving a plan to build a memorial to fallen Israeli soldiers in the midst of the Palestinian community.

The decision to close off the Damascus Gate area was therefore bound to provoke resistance from Palestinians, who fought police to take down the barriers. Police responded with tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon.

Those scenes – of uppity natives refusing to be disappeared back into their homes – were part of the trigger that brought the Jewish gangs out onto the streets in a show of force. Police largely let the mob rampage, as youths threw stones and bottles and attacked Palestinians.

Tired of half measures

The sight of Jewish gangs roaming central Jerusalem to hurt Palestinians has been described as a “pogrom” by some progressive US Jewish groups. But the difference between the far-right and the Israeli state in implementing their respective violent agendas is more apparent than real.

Smotrich, Ben Gvir and these street gangs are tired of the half-measures, procrastination and moral posturing by Israeli elites who have hampered efforts to “finish the job”: clearing the native Palestinian population off their lands once and for all.

Whereas Israeli politicians on the left and right have rationalised their ugly, racist actions on the pretext of catch-all “security” measures, the far-right has no need for the international community’s approval. They are impatient for a conclusion to more than seven decades of ethnic cleansing.

And the ranks of the far-right are likely to swell further as it attracts ever-larger numbers of a new generation of the ultra-Orthodox community, the fastest-growing section of Israel’s Jewish population. For the first time, nationalist youths from the Haredi community are turning their backs on a more cautious rabbinical leadership.

And while the violence in Jerusalem has subsided for the moment, the worst is unlikely to be over. The final days of Ramadan coincide this year with the notorious Jerusalem Day parade, an annual ritual in which Jewish ultra-nationalists march through the besieged Palestinian streets of the Old City chanting threats to Palestinians and attacking any who dare to venture out.

Turning a blind eye

Human Right Watch’s detailed report concludes that western states, by turning a blind eye to Israel’s long-standing abuses of Palestinians and focusing instead on a non-existent peace process, have allowed “apartheid to metastasize and consolidate”.

Its findings echo those of B’Tselem, Israel’s most respected human rights organisation. In January, it too declared Israel to be an apartheid regime in the occupied territories and inside Israel, towards its own Palestinian citizens.

Despite the reluctance of US and European politicians and media to talk about Israel in these terms, a new survey by B’Tselem shows that one in four Israeli Jews accept “apartheid” as an accurate description of Israel’s rule over Palestinians. What is far less clear is how many of them believe apartheid, in the Israeli context, is a good thing.

Another finding in the survey offers a clue. When asked about recent talk from Israeli leaders about annexing the West Bank, two-thirds of Israeli Jews reject the idea that Jews and Palestinians should have equal rights in those circumstances. 

The mob in Jerusalem is happy to enforce Israel’s apartheid now, in hopes of speeding up the process of expulsion. Other Israelis are still in denial. They prefer to pretend that apartheid has not yet arrived, in hopes of easing their consciences a little longer.
