General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
It's interesting that they don't provide any of the tweets for context.
Are they as inflammatory as MPTS suggests or is this Israeli pressure, as has been seen in other institutions?
The lack of tweets would leave me to conclude the evidence is flimsy and this is a witchhunt but it could just be weak reporting.
You're absolutely right. In fact she had previously been cleared by the GMC of any wrongdoing, but Wes Streeting, the odious health secretary, insisted they'd made the wrong decision so a new investigation was initiated. It's disgusting.
It's a Zionist smear campaign. The fact that there were no complaints by any patients really tells you all you need to know.
someone: its bad israel commits genocide
the uk: burn the antisemite
To me, that's a little stronger than "it's bad Israel commits genocide", but judge for yourself.
None of that is evidence though, that's just a list of accusations.
Sure, but the whole thing is alleged. My point is that it's misleading to characterise those accusations as merely being an accusation that she said Israel committing genocide is bad.
I'm not sober right now, but... what?
It's misleading to characterise accusations as evidence.
Based on numerous instances of Israeli pressure on organisations, it's reasonable to question legitimacy of accusations like this. It may be legitimate, but your list doesn't create any form of legitimacy because it's just a list of accusations. Evidence is what proves legitimacy. Has that been released to the public? Are the tweets still available?
Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done.

It's misleading to characterise accusations as evidence.
What makes you think I'm characterising them as evidence?
cupcakezealot implied that it only takes accusations of calling out Israel for genocide, for the UK to cry antisemitism.
I'm saying these accusations are a lot more serious than that.
all of those things are things the west literally do do anyone palastinian though.
What do you mean by "the west"? Some people in western society do those things, many don't.
And given that one of those things is holding all Jews responsible for the actions of the Israeli government, isn't that a somewhat hypocritical accusation to level at the entirety of western society?
She got Corbyn'd
Anyone know what's she's alleged to have said?
Well, it's Lemmy, so immediately we get tribal responses from both sides of two sides of a conflict that would do exactly the same thing to each other if they had the chance.
She compared Israel to Nazis and holocaust
She doxxed a former colleague on socal media. There were multiple complaints from her colleagues and the public.
She celebrated an attack on a Manchester Synagogue.
"outlined a large number of Dr Aladwan’s posts which she submitted involve social media activity which allegedly justifies terrorism, denies sexual violence, includes antisemitic conspiracy theories, misuses Holocaust and Nazi imagery and expresses support for proscribed groups and terrorist acts including the Al-Aqsa flood (the name Hamas gave to its large-scale surprise attack on Israel on 07/10/2023)."
There is a long list of infractions, but the general theme is that she was not only anti Israel, but blamed all Jews worldwide, Jews control the media, etc. etc.
Exact quote: ‘May God…gather you with the Jews, the killers of children, in the fire".
Overall, it goes on for pages outlining a toxic person who has gone off the deep end and has lost any professional composure. The response from her lawyer is basically, "Did not...did not.. did not..."
so immediately we get tribal responses from both sides
Good thing you're providing the defense of Israel side, since nobody else on Lemmy is willing to do that.
