Dr Kamran Ahmed, a Wolverhampton GP, has been given a formal warning by the GMC, following his antisemitic posts on X. These had been highlighted by GnasherJew, and were reported to the GMC by UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).

The GMC announced that the warning will remain on Dr Ahmed’s record from 29 January 2025 to 29 January 2026.  The GMC said:

“Between November 2023 and March 2024 Dr Ahmed posted and reposted material on X (formerly Twitter) that was objectively antisemitic and seriously offensive. This conduct does not meet with the standards required of a doctor. It risks bringing the profession into disrepute and it must not be repeated. The required standards are set out in Good medical practice and associated guidance. In this case, paragraphs 52, 55, and 81 of Good medical practice are particularly relevant: 52 You must help to create a culture that is respectful, fair, supportive, and compassionate by role modelling behaviours consistent with these values. 55 You must show respect for, and sensitivity towards, others’ life experience, cultures and beliefs. 81 You must make sure that your conduct justifies patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in your profession. Whilst these failings are not so serious as to require restriction on Dr Ahmed’s registration, it is necessary in response to issue this formal warning.”

Dr Ahmed’s offensive posts, which the GMC agreed were antisemitic included:

• On16 November 2023 he shared a post which stated ‘The Israeli flag is modern day swastika. Modern day Nazis behind one man’s ambition- controlling concentration camps & perpetrating a holocaust behind it whilst using propaganda to justify their cause. If the hat fits!’;
• On 25 November 2023 he reshared a post which shows an image of two fenced in areas. One says Auschwitz and has a Nazi flag on and the other says Gaza with the Israeli flag on;
• On 8 December 2023 he reshared a post which shows two pictures, one which is said to be Nazi Germany and one which is said to be Gaza today. They both show people lined up, with no or few clothes on, with soldiers around them;
• On 7 January 2024 he shared a post which stated ‘Can you or [Israeli flag] answer one question- Why. Why are Zionist Jews persecuted and expelled from everywhere throughout history?? (not all Jews- just the ultra nationalist, Nazi, fascist, genocidal ones??)’
