A British-Jordanian doctor suspended from work for comments made on social media calling attention to Israel’s genocide in Gaza says the embrace of censorship shows medical institutions have “completely shattered” their moral compass.

Dr Nadeem Crowe spoke to AJ+ about his experience at the Royal Free Hospital in London when a colleague filed a complaint against him alleging he had engaged in anti-Semitic behaviour when using social media to call attention to the destruction Israel has levelled against Gaza.

“People die and doctors aren’t suspended. People come to harm and doctors aren’t suspended. People post about the conflict in Gaza and apparently, they are not safe to work,” he said.

Dr Crowe was told to delete the posts and that he was under investigation.

“When you say it’s wrong, you no longer have the right to work as a doctor. I simply can’t see how those two things are compatible. I believe that their moral compass is completely shattered,” Dr Crowe said.
