NHS Doctor Faces Misconduct Hearing Over Reposts Alleging Zionist Role in 9/11

The case follows a complaint by the Jewish Medical Association, with the panel hearing her account of reposting for research after which she undertook social‑media training.

Overview

  • GMC barrister Katie Nowell told the tribunal that Dr Najmiah Ahmad reposted claims that a 'Zionist owned-and-controlled' US government and media were complicit in 9/11.
  • A second alleged repost referenced 'five dancing Zionists' and included an AI-generated image showing men in attire associated with Hasidic Jews celebrating near a Star of David.
  • Nowell argued the posts were objectively antisemitic and would be understood as blaming Jewish people for 9/11 rather than commenting on the IsraeliPalestinian context.
  • Ahmad testified that she reposted material to bookmark it for research, described learning about antisemitism as new to her, and stated, 'I don't hate Jews.'
  • The doctor was employed by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust at the time of the alleged posts, and the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing is ongoing.
