The president of the British Medical Association (BMA) posted misinformation from notoriously antisemitic twitter accounts, including one with neo-Nazi links.
She even posted a post speculating about Jewish racial, national and religious identity. Full story👇
Attacks against Jewish doctors by their own colleagues have shot up,
How are the BMA supposed to protect the interests of their Jewish members when their own president is contributing to this hate, and what example does this set? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
The BMA president claimed that a church had been bombed with people inside, but this was totally false.
She reposted blood libel from an Islamist with neo-Nazi links, claiming the number of children killed in 12 months was more than the rest of the world for the last five years
Many of my family perished in Auschwitz - 3 out of 4 branches. After the last year, visiting felt even more challenging
I questioned the sanity of my decision the closer we got, and felt desperate to escape. The support from friends and well-wishers helped. Deep-breaths…
Auschwitz looks like a normal village. There’s even a “McDonald’s Oswiecim”. You wouldn’t guess the horrors there if you didn’t know
It was chosen for being central in Europe - perfect for deportations…
You couldn’t deport that many ppl without tricking them into cooperating, so they were told it was how they could survive the ghetto.
It’s why many packed for a long journey and didn’t panic. Life expectancy was only hours for most Jews...

The agreement started in 2003 and explains a lot. At the same time, the British Council also began a media exchange with al-Jazeera
It meant young British broadcast journalists worked with the staff of al-Jazeera for short periods in the UK and Qatar. independent.co.uk/news/media/bbc…
Qatar is an authoritarian state which doesn’t allow basic rights and uses slave labour. Their influence over our media and national broadcaster has loomed large for decades.
People have been too busy fantasising about non-existent Israeli influence over the media to notice.
Newcastle university awarded Shola an Honorary Doctor of Civil Law for her “contribution to race equality, combatting discrimination and promoting diversity and inclusion”
Not Russia, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Myanmar etc etc.
Israel is seen as uniquely evil: unprincipled, deserving of exclusion and damaging humanity. Coincidentally antisemites said the same things about Jews too.
Shola certainly isn’t the first to imagine Jews collectively as a stain harming humanity that should be erased.
She isn’t the first to use the oppressed-oppressor model against that same group. She isn’t the first to claim she is courageous, while creating hate and division.
Former Hamas chief Muhammad Kathem Sawalha is also founder of the Muslim Association of Britain
He now lives in a council flat in London and organises anti-Israel marches in London. Other organising groups also have links to Hamas...
Zaher Birawi, a leader of the Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB) - another organising group, was described by an MP as “a serious national security risk”.
He was photographed meeting Hamas’ senior leader Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza….
A third group, the Friends of al-Aqsa, is founded and chaired by Leicester-based optician Ismael Patel who has also visited Haniyeh in Gaza
He was filmed at a rally saying: “we salute Hamas” and “we are all Hamas”…
