'I was doxxed': UK doctors welcome BMA protections for criticism of Israel
The British Medical Association (BMA) voted to reject the use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism within the NHS, citing concerns it suppresses legitimate criticism of Israel's actions in Palestine. Doctors reported facing investigations for publicly condemning Israel's policies, prompting the BMA to advocate for protections against disciplinary actions tied to political speech.
