British barrister called for the extermination of Zionists - and was suspended for only four months

A disciplinary tribunal in England suspended barrister Furz Khan for four months after he posted antisemitic calls on LinkedIn for a "final solution" for Israel and a "global cleansing" of Zionists. Khan was also ordered to pay costs of £2,880.

A disciplinary tribunal in England ordered the suspension of veteran barrister Furz Khan for four months, following a series of antisemitic posts on his LinkedIn account in 2025. Khan, who was admitted to the bar about 38 years ago, posted calls for a "global cleansing" and a "final solution" for Israel, and wrote that "such scum should be in a gas chamber." The Bar Standards Board determined that the posts were antisemitic and severely offensive, and that his conduct could damage public confidence in him or the profession. Alongside the suspension, Khan was ordered to pay costs of £2,880. The suspension has not yet taken effect and will begin after the appeal period ends, if no appeal is filed.
