Exposed Antisemitic Posts by NHS Professionals
An investigation by the UK-based watchdog GnasherJew identified roughly 40 National Health Service (NHS) doctors, consultants, surgeons and therapists who have used public social-media accounts to share antisemitic memes, Holocaust-denying rhetoric and praise for violence. Notable examples include Dr. Mazin Fageir, a senior trauma and orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital, who posted a cartoon depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushing a coffin into an Auschwitz oven with the phrase “ARBEIT MACHT FREI.” In May 2021, during Israel’s Operation Guardian of the Walls, Dr.
Dr. Asaad Nemer Shamallakh, an anaesthetist with Swansea Bay University Health Board, published multiple Facebook posts on October 8, 2023, mourning family members killed in a missile strike and urging revenge against “Zionists.” One of those posts contains the quote listed in the Verbatim Quotes section.
Dr. Nizar Ali Mhani, an NHS consultant orthodontist and Cardiff University honorary clinical lecturer, compared Hamas fighters to the Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, rejecting accusations that the Jews used civilians as human shields.
Background and Wider Concerns
GnasherJew’s dossier also documents the spread of 9/11 conspiracy theories, Holocaust inversion and the outright dismissal of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism among the identified practitioners. The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) released the documentary *Malignant: Antisemitism in the NHS*, which includes testimonies such as nurse Shelley Lipman witnessing a colleague perform a Nazi salute beside a patient, and patient Shaul Freeman reporting antisemitic remarks from a consultant surgeon during surgery.
Data, Statistics and Impact
- The General Medical Council (GMC)’s disclosed regulatory-action rate for antisemitism cases stands at 19 % (approximately 19.5 %).
- Polling released alongside the CAA documentary found that over four in ten British Jews who have used NHS services since October 7, 2023, have taken steps to conceal their Jewish identity.
Verbatim Quote
- “I swear that the battles of Badr, Uhud and Khandaq, militarily speaking, are a drop in the ocean of the Palestinian battle now. You are the Companions of the Prophet.” — Dr. Shamallakh
