UK watchdog GnasherJew published a dossier exposing approximately 40 NHS healthcare workers for antisemitic social media posts, including a surgeon who shared a Holocaust-themed cartoon of Netanyahu. GnasherJew criticized the GMC for inaction; the GMC reported a 19.5% regulatory action rate on antisemitism complaints. The revelations come alongside a documentary by the Campaign Against Antisemitism.

The UK antisemitism watchdog GnasherJew has published an investigative resource exposing approximately 40 medical professionals across the NHS who used social media to disseminate antisemitic rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and celebrate violence. The dossiers include detailed posts by named doctors. Dr. Mazin Fageir, a senior trauma surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital, shared a cartoon depicting Prime Minister Netanyahu pushing a coffin into an Auschwitz oven. Dr. Nizar Ali Mhani, an NHS consultant orthodontist, compared Hamas fighters to Jewish Warsaw Ghetto fighters. Dr. Asaad Nemer Shamallakh, an anesthetist, posted inflammatory language after October 7, 2023, including references to 'pigs' and 'the Zionist.' GnasherJew stated the GMC took little action on its reports. The GMC responded that it investigates serious concerns and reported a 19.5% regulatory action rate on antisemitism complaints. The revelations come alongside a documentary by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, 'Malignant: Antisemitism in the NHS.', which includes testimonies of hostility toward Jewish patients and staff.
