Pro-Palestine, Antisemitic Doctor In Court Today
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, 31, of Pilning, South Gloucestershire was arrested at her home address by Met officers on the morning of Thursday, 26 March for breaching police bail conditions imposed following previous arrests. She was transported to a central London police station where she was charged with the following offences:* On 21 July 2025, on King Charles Street, London used words that were threatening, abusive or insulting intending thereby to stir up racial hatred or having regard to all the circumstances was reckless as to whether racial hatred would be stirred up (Section 18 Public Order Act 1986). * On 19 November 2025, published or distributed written material that was threatening, abusive or insulting intending thereby to stir up racial hatred or having regard to all the circumstances was reckless as to whether racial hatred would be stirred up (Section 19 Public Order Act 1986). * On 23 July 2025, invited support for a proscribed organisation - Hamas (Section 12 (1A) Terrorism Act 2000). * On 23 August 2025, invited support for a proscribed organisation – Hamas (Section 12 (1A) Terrorism Act 2000). * On 7 October 2025, invited support for a proscribed organisation – Hamas (Section 12 (1A) Terrorism Act 2000). * On 31 December 2025, invited support for a proscribed organisation – Hamas (Section 12 (1A) Terrorism Act 2000).She was charged under the Terrorism Act with allegedly inviting support for a proscribed group on four occasions between July and December last year.The allegations relate to online material and comments.Aladwan was also charged with two counts of stirring up racial hatred through both written material and words.She appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court this morning.Prosecutor Carl Kelvin told the court the doctor is accused of writing “I don’t condemn Hamas. I don’t condemn October 7” and “I condemn the existence of Israel” in a post on July 23.On December 31, it is alleged she wrote “Free the world from Jewish supremacy”, he added.The court heard that on the second anniversary of the October 7 attack she is accused of posting an image of a bulldozer along with text reading “Glory to the Palestinian resistance”.Carl Kelvin prosecuting said: 'Between July and December she posted a large quantity of material on social media and took part in a number of protests against Israel and in support of people in Gaza.'One of Aladwan's posts called Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis a 'genocidal murderer,' it is claimed.He said another of her posts on X read: ‘I don't condemn Hamas. I don't condemn October 7. I don't condemn armed resistance to occupation.'She also allegedly called on the world to 'Jewish supremacy', adding that 'it's simple as humanity versus evil'. Dr Aladwan was arrested at her home in Pilning, south Gloucestershire, on Thursday morning for allegedly breaching police bail conditions imposed after previous arrests, police said.She was taken to a central London police station and charged with the six offences.Aladwan, who is British Palestinian and appeared in the dock on Friday wearing a beige hoodie and a black jacket, was released on conditional bail ahead of a next hearing on April 24 at the Old Bailey.She spoke only to confirm her identity and indicate her pleas.Following the hearing, Aladwan was greeted by more than a dozen protesters waving Palestinian flags, carrying placards and banging a drum. After being handed a microphone, she directly addressed the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, shouting: 'Let me tell you again Wesley Streeting, game on! Game on! Free Palestine!'When she appears at the Old Bailey on 24th April I hope she is found guilty and given an appropriate jail sentence. She won’t be shouting ‘game on’ to the judge. Or if she does, hopefully she’ll get a longer sentence for contempt of court. P.S. This hate-filled individual had been suspended by the NHS for the past 15 months, presumably on full pay.
