I’m seeing news about young women being raped & horrifically killed, children being beheaded, & whole families murdered.
And I’m seeing NHS staff appearing to support it in the name of ‘Palestinian resistance’.
Who the fuck do I work with?
So you’ve harassed Jews at Synagogues & universities, you’ve torn down posters of kidnapped kids, you’ve played dress up as terrorists, you’ve chanted genocidal slogans, & you’ve indulged your obvious antisemitism.
And yet you’ve failed to ‘free Palestine’.
Well done you.
That whole situation sums up what’s wrong with Gary Lineker.
Objecting to a technicality in a tweet, rather than reflecting on his own behaviour & hypocrisy.
All about image and desperately unserious.
Genuinely an awful man.
I called out some NHS staff for following this guy amongst other things.
I was attacked by a national EDI lead for doing so.
Here he is saying we must normalise massacres.
That’s your anti-racist NHS.
A lying government throws its lying propagandist mouthpiece under the bus.
The fascist, apartheid state of Israel which is commiting a plausible genocide, according to the ICJ, will crumble from within, under the weight of its own tyranny and evil.
Good riddance
@EylonALevy
It appears this man works for the NHS at
@NHS_Lothian
- how is this possible?
He seems to have been too antisemitic even for trade unions.
The NHS is meant to be an anti-racist organisation?
Pro-Palestinian activist Pete Gregson saying “Hamas are in the right” to kill Israelis. He berates the civilians for not surrendering and says they had to “accept the consequences”.
I must admit this gave a bone-deep chill. He has now been reported to counter terror.
Health workers at St. Thomas' Hospital staged a walkout today in protest of the ongoing brutalities in Gaza, drawing attention to the attacks on health facilities!
The public response was great, with many joining the calls and honking horns for a
#CeasefireNOW
!
If you ever wonder whether there is antisemitism in the NHS or whether
#JewsDontCount
, consider this case.
An NHS doctor suspended for joking ‘gas the Jews’ & alleging the Holocaust was a hoax.
And the absolute silence on it from NHS staff & leaders.
A further illustration of what’s wrong in EDI.
Dr Ruby Zelzer does EDI consulting, including for the NHS.
Here she shows her attitude to evidenced concerns of AS.
Ironically Ruby has herself come up with un-evidenced allegations of racism before.
EDI needs serious reform.
Plenty of Jews & their allies have flagged issues with your actions & behaviour.
The non antisemitic thing to do is listen to those concerns and learn from them. Instead you insist on telling Jews they’re wrong.
Difficult not to draw obvious conclusions.
I am not, and have never been, and will never be an antisemite.
I hold the Jewish people in my life very dearly, and have always kept great reverence for Judaism and Jewish culture, since travelling around Israel and Palestine as a teenager
🧵 7/12
Jews have been saying how afraid they are for months.
You’ve ignored them & turned a blind eye.
Now other groups feel the same & you speak up.
Well done on the latter but maybe you need to confront your own biases & prejudices.
So they’ve sung genocidal songs, waved terrorist flags, harassed Jews, removed posters of missing kids, expressed support for atrocities incl rape, released animals into restaurants, & called for global jihad.
But these aren’t hate marches & the people on them are the good guys?
It never was about peace - it was always about the destruction of Israel.
It never was about a ceasefire - it was always about protecting Hamas.
It never was just anti-Zionism, it was always antisemitism.
It was never pro-Palestine, it was always anti-Israel.
Always will be.
I genuinely don’t believe many care about or are outraged by a few men in their underwear.
I do believe they’re angry at seeing Hamas terrorists forced to surrender. They don’t like seeing the team they’re cheering for, losing.
So the Israelis were telling the truth then.
Expect we’ll see international condemnation of Hamas along with apologies to Israel. We will see that won’t we? 🤔
Al-Shifa Hospital from above
Hamas terror complex below
Hamas hides behind hospitals
And here’s the drone footage
That incontrovertibly proves it
Hamas wages war from hospitals
Will the world condemn Hamas?
Dr Sophie Farooque
@LondonAllergy
- Allergy Consultant and Clinical Lead for Allergy at Imperial - mocks one of the young women held hostage.
Difficult to understand the thinking & bigotry that leads a clinician to this point.
I don’t believe anyone is safe in her care.
Can you imagine if, after the Manchester bombings, or the London attacks, rallies were held like this saying ISIS had legitimate grievances?
There’d be uproar. But Jews & Israelis are supposed to put up with those siding with terrorism.
Sickening.
@riocinema
Did you cancel screenings when the UK was tackling ISIS in Mosul? If not then you’re holding Israel to a higher standard which is borderline antisemitic.
The President of the Royal College of Nurses tweets that she has a duty of care to the women of Gaza and the West Bank.
I can find no similar tweet to the women of Israel, to the women raped by Hamas, to those held hostage, to the nursing staff killed on 7/10.
About 36 hours since I flagged a seemingly antisemitic tweet from an NHS healthcare inequalities lead, & tagged in four people including national EDI leads & a CEO.
Any response? Two blocked me. None of the others have said anything. All have been online.
Truly shameful.
Something very, very wrong with Lineker.
Denying antisemitism & promoting a fringe extreme group who many Jews find deeply offensive.
Very strange & questionable behaviour.
Great to see self-appointed Middle East expert Gary Lineker share an interview with a member of the extremist, fringe group Neturei Karta to his 1.2 million Instagram followers.
Genuinely amazing that we have seen
1000%+ rise in antisemitism,
NHS staff exposed left, right and centre,
staff and patients afraid to display signs of the Judaism,
hate all over the place
And so many NHS EDI leads have just decided to sit it out and not say a thing.
WATCH
The Hatikvah sung by thousands in Trafalgar Square this afternoon.
No violence, no mobs, no calls for Gaza’s destruction, no Islamophobia.
One voice….
#BringThemHome
If you don’t want to be accused of antisemitism when talking about Israel / Palestine -
- Don’t comment about it on Jewish posts that have no link
- Show you’re willing to condemn the likes of Hamas as much as you are Israel
- Give a damn when Israelis are murdered
During the men’s football world cup Moroccan fans and players gave Israelis grief and abuse.
Now, after a major earthquake overnight, Israel is already stepping up to support and send assistance.
That’s how you respond to bigotry with love 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
‘If the Palestinians laid down their weapons there would be no more war. If the Israelis laid down their weapons, there would be no more Israel.’
You can sum up the conflict with that quote.
I spent time in Prague this week. There you find ‘Stolpersteine’ or ‘Stumbling Stones’ which each detail a victim of the Holocaust & are laid in the pavement outside their last known address.
In 1938, there were 120,000 Jews in the Czech Republic. Today there are about 2,000.
You really have to be quite stupid to compare Israel & Russia.
Russia started a war to take over a country. Israel would take peace tomorrow if the Palestinians were genuine about it.
They’re in no way comparable.
I’ve been asked to make it clear that my a/c is not an official one of the NHS.
Well of course it’s blindingly obvious as the NHS is silent on antisemitism & doesn’t seem to give two hoots about the racism of its staff.
That’s how you know this is not an official account 🤷♂️
This weekend should be a wake up call for many in the UK who like to support the PSC, or tweet ‘Free Palestine’ & the rest.
This should be a moment when you sit up and go ‘Huh? This evil is not what I support.’
We’ve been telling you for years who you’re supporting.
Amazing how much hatred has been seen coming from people of colour. When many, many Jewish people have stood alongside BLM & the rest.
Shocking & depressing.
This week has seen Hamas steal food from Gazans, execute hostages so they can’t tell their stories of sexual violence, & put civilians in harm’s way.
But I’ve seen more outrage over men in underwear than about any of it.
Tell me again how this isn’t driven by hatred of Israel.
Back after being suspended for calling out racism.
Shocking that
@X
are more likely to suspend for calling out racism, than for the racism itself.
Twitter seems to be run by the same people who run the NHS 🤷♂️
Israel have made it clear for weeks that there will be no ceasefire without hostage release & Hamas surrender.
So if you want a ceasefire you call for those things.
If you don’t call for those things then you don’t want a ceasefire.
It really isn’t complicated.
I’ve just read an account of the horrendous discriminatory experiences of a young Jewish boy, and as seen here a fellow
@ManUtd
fan, receiving appalling treatment in Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
His uncle asks here, WTAF is going on?
@AndyBurnhamGM
@MayorofGM
Does amaze me that I can come on here every day & see people wanting a ceasefire, wanting an end to bloodshed, but never actually calling for the steps that will get us there -
Hostage release, end the rockets, Hamas surrender.
A complete failure of people.
I saw protestors at Eurovision saying Israel should be banned from entering.
Then I saw Israel storm to third place.
Must suck to be such idiotic & ineffective protestors 😅🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
The number of Palestinians is reckoned to be 8 times higher than it was in 1948.
The global Jewish population is still over 1 million lower than it was at the outbreak of WW2 in 1939.
Isn’t this whole ‘the IDF are lying because you can’t store metal next to an MRI machine’ not disproved by the fact there are literally guns next to an MRI machine?
When I first spoke up on antisemitism I was shocked at how I was treated. The abuse, the insults. I thought it was me, that I was at fault.
But the more I read about how others are treated too, I can see the pattern.
Disgraceful that people speaking up are treated this way.
Given what we have seen over the last few months from the Police this is a REMARKABLE exchange.
The police officer asks for an Israeli Flag to be removed because “This is a protected heritage site”
I’m afraid 2 tier doesn’t even begin to cover it.
@LaylaMoran
75 years since a war of annihilation was attempted & fortunately defeated. If you want to mark ‘the Nakba’ then you need to mark it in its genocidal context.
Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, who agreed to hold the games in Qatar has not commented on Qatar's refusal to allow Jewish prayer or hot kosher food. What the actual fuck, my beloved peeps.
Just remarkably biased reporting from the BBC.
All the blame placed on one party, regardless of Hamas breaking the ceasefire. The emotion inducing photo added for good measure.
And the truth added at the end to give cover.
This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
Quite tired of seeing posts from NHS & healthcare leaders slamming Israel every chance they get while steadfastly refusing to lead on calling for hostage release or Hamas surrender.
A real failure of leadership & a lost chance to make a difference.
There are plenty of NHS staff whose timelines are absolute sewers at the moment - open antisemitism, defence of terrorism, rape denial, and all the rest.
And hardly anyone is calling it out.
I mean they’re not even hiding their bigotry & toxic views, yet silence from so many.
Can’t imagine I’m the only one who thinks if I hadn’t been a Zionist before 7/10, that day and the world’s appalling response to it would have made me one.
Just exploring the Twitter account of a senior NHS HR professional who follows all kinds of antisemites, and whose timeline is a sewer of lies and anti-Israel hatred.
Obviously has an ironic bio about how anti-racist they are.
Works in HR. In the NHS.
A BMA deputy chair making jokes about gassing Jews, an NHS staff member calling Jews feral, a senior leader liking deeply antisemitic imagery, a national EDI lead defending antisemites, a doctor who appears to support an antisemitic terrorist group.
Been reminded me of the awful way I’ve been treated (eg my pinned tweet) when I’ve spoken up on antisemitism. The slander, slurs, abuse.
To Jews out there fighting hatred - you have my utmost admiration. It’s not easy. And you’ve got the full support of me & other allies 💪
The day after the Hamas attacks George Galloway described those killed by Hamas as “settlers” who we are crying “crocodile tears” over. My husband’s 18 year old relative was in her own country when Hamas shot her in the head. We cry real tears. He is now an MP and I am ashamed.
Whenever people challenge antisemitism they’ll be attacked, called extremists, called racists themselves, accused of having ulterior motives, or of working for someone else.
It’s all classic antisemitism.
Happened to me in the NHS, happens everywhere.
Why is the head of clinical leadership at
@NHSLeadership
RT’ing a tweet saying people are making false allegations of racism?
How does this fit with NHS values & being an organisation that listens to minority groups when racism is flagged?
@thejoyofvictor
@NYTW79
I hope you get the counselling you need. This isn’t a sane or proportionate act & it’s deeply concerning that you’re promoting your behaviour to others who may be influenced to do the same.
Hi
@cityalan
- could you explain why you’ve liked what seems like a clearly racist tweet, attacking two prominent Jewish people who are vocal on antisemitism?
Given you are a professor of nursing, how do you treat Jewish students who speak up?
So many have had an absolute mare with this hospital situation.
If you happily believe the propaganda of a terrorist organisation against the world’s only Jewish state then we can take your bias & bigotry as quite obvious & open.
Those who think the issues in Israel / Palestine are caused by Israel eg through settlements, need to explain why Jews are murdered in Tunisia, France, the US & more, often by those of Arab descent.
There’s a global pattern that needs addressing.
Rachel Moses (

@NHSLeadership
RT’s support for ‘Palestinian resistance’.
Intentionally killing entire families, & residents of a care home, & slaughtering young festival goers is not ‘resistance’.
This is who is teaching our staff 🤬
What was the content that raised concerns?
Given CAA’s seniority in antisemitism campaigns who judged that GOSH knew more than they do?
What guidance was taken & from whom, prior to this decision?
The following statement is made in response to allegations made across social media in relation to antisemitism awareness training being planned by the Trust.
A good example of how anti-Israel feeling can fall into antisemitism.
LGBT Palestinians are harassed, persecuted, & killed by Palestinian authorities. But Dr John doesn’t care about that & makes no mention of it.
It’s just Israelis who are at fault.
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say the case against Israel is one of the most dishonest topics in history.
It’s just lie after lie after lie. Everything the anti-Israel crowd says has to be fact-checked.
Remarkable that Dan thinks it’s Israel, rather than Hamas, who has lost the respect of civilisation.
Jews not wanting to die, & wanting to protect their people against genocidal rapist murderers, is offensive apparently.
Strange concept of civilisation.
This is how zionism works;
Step 1️⃣: Lie
Step 2️⃣: When it becomes obvious to everyone you're lying, continue to lie.
Step 3️⃣: When you're called out, double down & lie some more.
Step 4️⃣: Finally.... label everyone an antisemite for calling you a liar
Remember:
The situation in Gaza can be resolved in minutes.
Hand over the hostages.
Stop the rockets.
Hamas hand themselves in & face justice.
Peace by the weekend.
Amazing how Hamas’s death counts are just trotted out without question.
I mean they’ve exaggerated death counts every day for the last 16 years, made up a massacre story about a hospital, & are literally a terrorist group.
But sure keep believing everything they tell you 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Israel ambassador to the UN:
"If you want a real ceasefire, this is the phone number of Hamas' office in Gaza"
"You can all call and ask for Yahya Sinwar"
Superb! 👏👏👏
Amazing that I can go through the Twitter feed of a ‘Chief Diversity Officer’ for a national NHS org & find downplaying of antisemitism, engagement with well known antisemites, lies about Israel, and not a single thing about the terror Jewish staff are feeling.
Sickening.
I think any calls of anti-semitism coming from Israel over the next couple of weeks need to be slam dunked vociferously as the absolute shite they are, condemnation of Israel will be as a result of its political actions, not religious ones.
I remember challenging a senior doctor for repeatedly & obsessively fostering hate against Israel - spreading lies designed to encourage hate.
An NHS senior EDI lead defended them & attacked me for speaking up.
Why do we challenge? Because 6 year olds end up dead. That’s why.
@LondonLive
@SadiqKhan
What is the proportionate response to terrorism? To babies killed in their beds? To women raped? Pray tell us those who know all - what is the proportionate response to evil?
Anyone saying Diane Abbott is only being challenged over her antisemitic nonsense because she’s black should have to show receipts for when they challenged Corbyn, Loach, Waters & the rest.
Because Jews challenged them & I remember your silence.
The moment an NHS surgeon and members of the
@CPGBML
were arrested at the pro-Palestine demo in London today for displaying a pamphlet denouncing Zionism as “a racist, antisemitic and reactionary tool of imperialism.”
Given that lots of NHS organisations go all out for Pride I expect we’ll see them on the march against antisemitism.
And all the EDI teams.
And NHS staff who’ve been furiously tweeting in ‘support of Palestine’.
Won’t we? Cos if not then the judgement to be made is obvious.
The late Sergeant Shir Shlomo, 19 years old from Netanya, a member of the Urim base, was murdered by Hamas terrorists on Shabbat 7th October 💔
May her memory be blessed 🥺
Pro-Palestine violence broke out outside the Museum of Tolerance holocaust museum in Los Angeles. Supporters of terror Islamist group Hamas gathered there to protest a film screening of a documentary about Hamas atrocities.
Strength and love to all those speaking up against antisemitism & terror apologia.
You’re amazing people and we’ll win in the end. The struggle seems tough but truth and justice always win in the end.
❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱
20% of Palestinian rockets are estimated to fall within Gaza. How many do they kill? Esp given they hit a hospital recently.
Yet I’ve not seen few to no healthcare professionals calling for an end to the rockets.
Israel is always blamed, Palestinians apparently have no agency.
What are we up to now with Palestinian rocket launches against Israel? 15,000 - 20,000 since 7/10?
Given upwards of 20% are reckoned to fall within Gaza, that’s a heck of a lot of rockets likely hitting & killing Palestinian civilians.
Why isn’t that discussed more?
When George Floyd was murdered, it sent shockwaves around the world and changed the UK.
We’ve seen multiple murders of Jews just across the Channel & yet there’s silence.
Why the difference?
We all stand with Diane Abbott against the appalling racism & bigotry she faces.
I hope you will also stand against the bigotry & racism she has come out with & failed properly to address.
Being anti-racist means being anti all forms of racism.
