Hospital taking 'appropriate action' over staffer who supported Hamas

St George’s Hospital in London says it is taking ‘appropriate action’ after NHS physician celebrated Hamas terror attacks on Israel and advocated ‘flogging’ of journalists in a series of social media posts

  • London-based Farah Bouamra tweeted support of kidnapping of Israelis

A hospital has said it is taking ‘appropriate action’ after one of its staff celebrated the Hamas terror attacks on Israel in a series of disturbing social media posts.

Farah Bouamra, a physician associate at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, in London, has apparently supported the kidnapping of Israeli civilians including children by the extremist terror group – and celebrated the torching of the Israeli Embassy, in Jordan.

The British-born NHS staffer, who has Algerian family heritage, also branded Israeli soldiers as ‘terrorists’ – and advocated the ‘flogging’ of journalists.

A St George’s spokesperson said in response to the remarks: ‘We do not condone the personal views of this individual and appropriate action is being taken.

‘As a multicultural organisation, we are deeply saddened by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and are supporting our staff – many of whom are directly affected – through this difficult time.’

Bouamra responded to the Metropolitan Police’s comments about the incident in which a tube driver who had apparently incited protesters to chant a slogan said to be anti-semitic: ‘You lot are pathetic. How about the police focus on enquiring about their rapist, racist and kidnapping employees. Jobless yats.’

She has also reposted that ‘decolonization is always a violent phenomenon’ from Wretched of the Earth, a book by philosopher Frantz Fanon – and she hopes the current conflict leads Muslims to ‘radicalise’. 

Bouamra is active on social media, and also posts on instagram about her career as a physician associate, a role which involves her taking medical histories from patients, performing physical examinations, diagnosing illnesses and seeing patients with long-term chronic conditions.

Although also active on Instagram, it was primarily on her Twitter/X account that she has posted or retweeted a flurry of anti-Israeli comments since the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on 7 October, killing more than 1,400 people and taking more than 220 hostages.

On the 7th she reposted a video of bulldozers ploughing through the Gaza strip separation fence with Israel and celebrating the kidnapping of innocent festival goers and children.

A caption read: ‘Palestinians break into separation fence w/Israel, dozens of Israelis captured and brought into Gaza…’ and then ‘VIVAAAAA’ to celebrate this – before they went on to kill 1,400 people including children.

On the same day she reposted ‘Free Palestine today tomorrow and forever’.

And in answer to Labour MP David Lammy, the Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth, condemning the Hamas attack, she reposted ‘Israel has killed Palestinians indiscriminately for the past seven decades, so when you stand in solidarity with Israel you stand in solidarity with terrorism you stinking idiot.’

In another post she agreed that the Israeli government is behaving ‘like war criminals…being supported by depraved western leaders.’

Another post denied that Hamas beheaded babies.

She reposted: ‘Despite the fact that it was proven that the story of Hamas beheading babies was a lie, the media and people cared far more for these fictional babies than the 700 dead Palestinian children’.

On learning of a mob attempting to storm the Israeli Embassy in Jordan, Farah rejoiced in the violence, posting: ‘They set the Israeli embassy on fire in Jordan. I love these people so much’.

She also said: ‘They’re bombing the hospitals. Hospitals. If you still consider this a ‘conflict’ with Israel acting in ‘self-defence’ and not being actual terrorists at this point, then you can’t be described as anything other than soulless’… adding… ‘Also, suck your mums’ – a general disrespectful insult.

She also reposted: ‘Some of you journalists need to be flogged in the town square too…beaten WELL WELL. he things I have seen this past week…I am speechless’.

Bouamra also claims to have seen babies killed by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) since she was a child. In a tweet referring to the IDF as the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) – a name widely used among Palestinians and pro-Palestinian groups in reference to the Israel Defense Forces, and accompanying a video of Israeli soldiers playing with Palestinian children, she wrote: ‘If they’re so hehe and goofy, why are they armed with semi-automatics? And why have I been seeing the bodies of Palestinian children at the hands of the IOF since I was a child myself?’

In an interview with a fashion chain aimed at Muslim women, Farah described herself as a British-born Algerian, who is interested in travel, friends and family, and four fur babies! (dogs)

Farah has been a physician associate at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust since September 2022.

Boumara has not personally responded to a request for comment.
