University of Glasgow rector cleared of misconduct by medical watchdog over alleged antisemitism
AI Summary
Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, the rector of the University of Glasgow, was cleared of misconduct by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester after a three-day hearing. The General Medical Council (GMC) brought the case against him, alleging antisemitism and support for Hamas based on a newspaper article and two posts on X. The tribunal panel dismissed the case, stating that the article expressed criticism of Palestinian political elites and did not identify anything antisemitic or supportive of terrorism. Regarding the X posts, the tribunal found insufficient evidence to prove they constituted material or moral aid to terrorism and considered the broader political context in which they were written. Abu-Sittah, a plastic surgeon and Palestinian activist, claimed he was racially profiled due to his Palestinian and Arab background.
