Report details inflammatory posts by five UK NHS workers
A British newspaper reported that five workers in the UK’s National Health Service made inflammatory statements about Jews and Israel.
The group includes three doctors, an occupational therapist and a registered midwife.
The reported posts included comparisons between Israelis and Nazis, calls for the death of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a response supporting resistance posted during the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023.
The cases involve NHS workplaces in Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and London.
The allegations come amid wider concern about antisemitism in the health service; a UK group recorded 99 antisemitic incidents in healthcare in a report published last year.
The UK government proposed new rules in June to address antisemitism in the health system, including a ban on staff wearing political badges.
One worker’s referrals to law enforcement were dismissed, and her claims against her former employer are still being considered.
A Daily Mail report cited by the Times of Israel details inflammatory statements about Jews and Israel by five UK NHS workers, including three doctors.
The reported posts span 2023 to 2025 and include praise for a post about Palestinian resistance, claims about Israel and Nazis, and a “false flag” claim about a deadly attack in Australia.
The workers were employed at NHS hospitals in Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and London.
The report follows a documentary by the Campaign Against Antisemitism alleging severe antisemitism within the NHS.
The article also says one worker’s NHS referral to law enforcement was dismissed, while claims she filed against her former employer remain under adjudication.
