The British Medical Association (BMA), representing over 200,000 UK doctors, voted to reject the use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism within the NHS, saying it can be used to restrict legitimate criticism of Israel and limit discussion of human rights abuses in Palestine. The union also called for an investigation into its impact on doctors’ freedom of expression and opposed vexatious complaints used to intimidate healthcare staff over political views. 1/2 #Israel #Palestine #Gaza
