The ‘Anti-Semitism’ Witch-Hunt that Targets Rameh Aladwan is itself Anti-Semitic – Despite Having Been Found to Have No Case to Answer She is Being Tried Again

Dr Rahmeh’s Only Offence is  Being a Palestinian & Opposing the Genocide that Starmer & Streeting Have Enabled

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.

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.

Coronation - We Are Walking into a Police State

Police Arrest Protesters for Exercising their Democratic Right to Protest Against Monarchy

Democracy British Style

It was less than two months ago that the Metropolitan Police were described as ‘institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic’. Baroness Louise Casey said that the Black community were ‘over-policed and under-protected.’

Murdered by the Met

It was little more than two years ago that Sarah Everard was murdered by a Police officer, Wayne Couzens, who had been systematically protected by fellow officers when reports of  him exposing himself were made. The last incident was six days before he went on to kidnap and murder Sarah, when Police were given his car registration number and his bank card details by a fast food restaurant.

If Couzens had been arrested at the time Sarah Everard would still be alive. As it is Couzens was given the nickname ‘the rapist’ – a ‘joke’ that fellow officers in the Nuclear Constabulary found highly amusing.

Casey Response to Met Reaction to Report

Couzens was not of course the only incident. 18 months ago two police officers, Deniz Jaffer and Jamie Lewis, were gaoled for sharing  pictures of two dead Black women, nicknamed ‘dead birds’ in two WhatsApp groups, one of which had 41 fellow officers as participants.

Anti-monarchy arrests during UK coronation

Met Commissioner Cressida Dick resigned after a series of scandals. An independent police watchdog revealed shocking evidence Feb. 1 that officers in Charing Cross station had engaged in conduct involving misogyny, homophobia, bullying and sexual harassment between 2016 and 2018.

The report claimed that officers had engaged in sexual activity while on duty, joked about hitting and raping women, and mocked the deaths of black babies and the Holocaust. In published Whatsapp messages, one male officer told to a female officer: “I would happily rape you…if I was single I would happily chloroform you.” Two of the officers investigated were promoted, while nine were left to serve in the Met.

Cressida Dick’s replacement, Sir Mark Rowley shows no inclination to improve matters, having rejected Louise Casey’s finding of institutionalised racism. The National Black Police Association offered to meet him to highlight areas of concern and collaborate on how to change the systemic racism within the force, but was snubbed. 

The Inquiry chaired by Nuala O’Loan, the former police ombudsman in Northern Ireland into the murder of Daniel Morgan, a private eye, found that the Police investigation was riddled with corruption.

The report accused Dick of 'placing hurdles' in their path by refusing to give them access to a vital police database. The HOLMES system which is used by UK police forces to investigate complicated crimes such as serial murders and high-value frauds.

Access to the database was 'essential' because many of the documents were only available in online form, and her refusal caused 'very significant delays', the report stated.

'The Metropolitan Police's lack of candour manifested itself in the hurdles placed in the path of the Panel, such as (then Assistant Commissioner) Cressida Dick's initial refusal to recognise the necessity for the Panel to have access to the HOLMES system,'

Who then was better placed to be given additional powers under the new Public Order Act than the Metropolitan Police? Indeed such was Cruella Braverman’s trust in the Met Police’s ability to abuse whatever powers they were handed that the implementation of the Act was fast tracked just one day after receiving royal assent. Normally it takes months to implement legislation and sometimes parts of that legislation are never implemented.

The POA means that anyone who blocks roads, airports and railways could be jailed for up to 12 months — while anyone who glues themself down could face up to six months behind bars or an unlimited fine.

Police will also be able to stop and search protesters for items such as padlocks, superglue and digging tools if they suspect they are intending to be used at a protest. People caught with these items, with the intention of using them to cause disruption, will also face criminal charges.

In short the POA is an ideal piece of legislation  to hasten the arrival of a Police state. It is the type of legislation which the press would fall over themselves to criticise if Putin or China were to introduce it.

Only one thing will render this Act null and void and that will be a refusal to comply with its provisions by direct action protesters. This is a government that detests any form of direct action whilst being immersed  in serious corruption and law breaking – all of which have gone without investigation by the Met.

According to Transparency International 2021 was the year corruption took centre stage

From the British Government’s COVID-19 response to ministers’ and MPs’ conflicts of interest; from the businesses caught up in bribery scandals to the devastating effect of corruption in defence forces around the world which triggered or aggravated conflicts or led to the total collapse of government.

Its effect was of course felt on the public

Whether that was UK hospitals unable to access high quality or reasonably priced personal protective equipment (PPE) for their staff and patients, planning decisions seemingly based on who you know rather than the public interest, or millions fleeing their homes and countries when the safest place to be should have been at home.

It is therefore no surprise that the Metropolitan Police should pull out all the stops to prevent protests at the Coronation.  It is a case of one undemocratic institution, the Met, giving its full support to another undemocratic institution, the Monarchy.

However the Met Police commanders are nothing if not stupid. They have enabled millions of people to see for themselves the hostility to the democratic right to protest of the Police. The publicity garnered by the protesters because of the decision by the Police to arrest its organisers was invaluable. Even the ever loyal BBC was forced to carry news reports of the heavy handed response of the Met. In that sense and in that sense only, we should be grateful to Mark Rowley.

However we have to ask why the government gave a bunch of racists, rapists, misogynists and corrupt bigots even more powers than they already had given their penchant to abuse their existing powers. There was no popular mandate for the new Public Order Act and it says everything about Starmer’s Labour Party that it failed to make any protest about the new powers still less pledge to repeal it.
