'I was doxxed': UK doctors welcome BMA protections for criticism of Israel
The British Medical Association (BMA) rejected the use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism in the NHS, allowing doctors to criticize Israel's actions in Palestine without fear of disciplinary action. The BMA cited concerns about the definition suppressing legitimate political speech and the right to challenge human rights violations, particularly in the context of the Middle East conflict's impact on healthcare workers and facilities.
