Dr Rahmeh Aladwan is a British NHS doctor of Palestinian origin. She came to prominence after her supposedly antisemitic comments. Her comments were related to October 7th and also her statements on the existence of the Israeli state. These were hardly problematic statements. Her basic position is similar to that of people like Max Blumenthal who debunked the false claims about October 7th made by the Israeli government. She also doesn’t think that there should be a Zionist state, something I myself have argued.[1]

However, due to her comments, this doctor who is training to be an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon faced calls for her studies to be cancelled and she faced an online campaign of hate and defamation led by Zionists and also the Daily Mail who accused her of antisemitism.[2] She responded to the defamatory accusations from the Daily Mail with a video published on her twitter account.[3] That did not stop the attempts by Zionists to silence her and ruin her career. Their loathing for medical professionals is not limited to the ones they bomb in Gaza. She was arrested by the British police in October and risked losing her medical licence, not over malpractice, as you can get away with that if you are powerful enough (more on that), but because of her views on Palestine. She is not the only doctor this has happened to, but no Zionist doctors are being processed in this manner, despite the Hippocratic Oath clearly stating:

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

All my fellow human beings includes Palestinians. She had also previously been arrested for her role in a protest outside the Israeli arms manufacture Elbit. Preventative medicine if you will.

She won her case and they have refused to suspend her medical licence arguing that her medical record was unblemished and that she was entitled to freedom of expression. Aladwan in a similar vein stated that:

This is a victory not just for me, but for all those who believe in the right to speak out against injustice. As a Palestinian, I have lost dozens of friends and family members in Gaza. I will not be silenced for expressing my grief and my opposition to war crimes. Today’s decision is a reminder that doctors, like all citizens, are entitled to freedom of conscience and freedom of speech.[4]

Her problems have not ended there. Now some liberals are turning on her. Not over Palestine though. She is a Muslim, and she is also a medical professional, so it should come as no surprise that she has opinions on medical matters. In our modern woke world of the liberals this does not matter. No woke types are actually leftwing, they are at best liberal despite quoting everyone from Trotsky to Mao. As a doctor they would scream at her that their identity politics trumps, science & medicine. I am sure the reader can guess by now, that she said something they didn’t like about so-called trans.

Rupert Lowe, an MP for the right-wing Reform party, issued a public call to oppose a clinical trial that had been authorised to administer puberty blockers to children as young as eleven.[5] This issue is controversial; many people rightly oppose the attempts to medicalise and transition children suffering from dysphoria. It turns out this doctor is not only brave enough to speak out on genocide but that she pulls no punches in an area she has some knowledge of: medicine. On her twitter account she called on Muslim MPs to back this call. She was questioned as to why just Muslims. Perhaps it is because most Muslim MPs would steer clear of anything to do with Reform. She was pointing out that despite this, opposing medical trials for puberty blockers on children is ethical.[6] She then suffered a pile on. Lots of supposed pro-Palestinian trans supporters called her a bigot and unfollowed her. The right of a man to put on a skirt and go into women’s spaces trumps genocide and the medical malpractice of administering puberty blockers to children for conditions that do not require them is the type of medical malpractice that not only can you get away with, it is handsomely rewarded. To be clear, there are conditions such as precocious puberty in very young children, before the age of eight for girls and nine for boys, for which such medication is administered. Dysphoria does not meet the criteria and this doctor knows it.

She responded to the trans allies and those who withdrew their support for her by saying:

You were likely following me because I am against genocide and ‘israel’. I had not disclosed my stance against involving children in non-life saving/gender trials. Now that you realise I hold this position, you have withdrawn your support. This reveals more about you than me.[7]

This is an accurate description of them. It is telling that the right of men to go into women’s spaces is more important than genocide for many of these people. Zarah Sultana the MP who putatively leads the new party in Britain, alongside Corbyn stated that so-called trans rights were a redline for joining the new party.[8] Not genocide, not bombing hospitals, not supporting attacks on Iran, US imperialism. No: the defining issue for joining the new party or not is whether men can gain access to women’s spaces. She is clearly not the only one who thinks this. Activists around the world have been sidelined over this issue. One such case is that of Ann Menasche, a Jewish lesbian anti-war activist with decades of experience in the anti-war movement. In 2023, she was banned from speaking at an anti-genocide rally in California because of her feminist position on trans.[9]

I have some personal experience on this issue. I interviewed László Molnárfi, the student union leader at Trinity College Dublin, whose protests successfully forced Trinity to divest from Israel. Shortly after the interview he withdrew permission to use it because of my position on trans, which to be clear is if you want to wear a skirt and call yourself Mary instead of Mark, then enjoy your life, live it to the full, but none of this makes you a woman nor does it give you the right to participate in women’s spaces. He had prior to my interview given two interviews to the right-wing mainstream newspaper The Irish Independent[10] and even wrote an article for them.[11] This rag is also critical of trans and is rabidly pro-Zionist. He then went on to write an article for the avowedly right-wing student magazine The Burkean,[12] but would have no truck with leftists who ran afoul of his trans redline. His article was titled For a sovereign Ireland, the Left and the Right must unite against Israel. He is like all trans activists given to magical thinking and the idea that Israel is something separate from capitalism is just that. I do wonder though, whether in his zeal to seek an alliance with the Right whether he is dropping his redlines.

Those who rail against Dr Aladwan are useless. They priortise Cocks in Frocks over what the Israelis do with Glocks.[13] Genocide is a secondary issue for them. Not only are they misogynists who side with a men’s rights movement (the trans movement is just that), they prioritise this issue over all others and would prefer to be beaten on the issue of genocide if they can virtue signal on the trans issue to their hearts content. As Dr Aladwan points out.

Conditional support is never support. People will never agree on everything. The Left purity testing is disingenuous and why it’s so fractured.[14]


But the Left is willing to forgive people on the right for major fundamental disagreements, but not deal with other Leftists who defend women’s spaces. Useless and reactionary. They deserve our utter contempt and Dr Aladwan, now more than ever deserves our support.
