Dr. Hamid Abudhaise
Specialty Doctor in Breast Surgery at Wye Valley NHS Trust | Hereford, Herefordshire, England, UK
Background information
Dr. Hamid Abudhaise, a specialty doctor in breast surgery at Wye Valley NHS Trust and a steering group member of Greens for Palestine, has shared social media posts alleging “Zionist control” of the British state and co-authored a Green Party conference motion declaring Zionism an inherently racist ideology.
The material appears on Dr. Abudhaise’s commercial Instagram account, which is run under his professional medical title to market aesthetic procedures. His public promotion of state-capture conspiracy theories comes as healthcare regulators face growing concern over clinicians promoting material that compromises patient trust.
The posts
Social media posts, images and a video published by Dr. Abudhaise demonstrate a pattern ranging from classic conspiracy tropes about hidden Jewish and Zionist power over British institutions to the deliberate distortion of historical texts to delegitimise the State of Israel.
Conspiracy theories of Zionist control
Several posts from his commercial practice account (@dr_hamid_aesthetics) deploy the classic trope of hidden Jewish/Zionist power manipulating sovereign Western governments:
22 May 2026: An Instagram carousel prominently featuring the title “CAPTURED STATE” surrounded by barbed wire, asking: “Why are foreign interests being served over British ones?” The accompanying caption tags Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, 10 Downing Street, and the Metropolitan Police, using the hashtags #CapturedState, #FreeSpeechUnderSiege, and #EndZionistControlofUK.
22 May 2026: A slide in the same carousel stating that British leaders hold an “only allegiance… to Israel’s illegal military occupation & genocide.” Accusing British elected officials and law enforcement of being “captured” agents whose true allegiance is to a foreign Jewish state mirrors the dual-loyalty and state-capture canards historically associated with antisemitic conspiracism.
Distortion of historical texts
In a video titled “Zionism is Racism Motion: Why It Matters”, published via the pal_pulse platform, Dr. Abudhaise presents selective and altered quotations from Zionist thinkers to portray Jewish national self-determination as an explicitly genocidal conspiracy:
- Presenting Theodor Herzl’s 1895 diary entry, in which Herzl cynically noted that European antisemites would facilitate Jewish emigration to rid their own nations of Jews, as proof of an ideological alliance between Zionism and antisemitism.
- Presenting a passage from Herzl’s 1896 work Der Judenstaat about using modern technology to clear a land of “wild beasts” with a “hunting party” and “melinite bombs” as evidence of Herzl “advocating for mass genocide against the native Palestinians, whom he compared to animals.” In the original text, Herzl was using an analogy contrasting medieval bear hunting with modern engineering explosives to illustrate 19th-century technological progress, not discussing indigenous human populations.
- Citing Ze’ev Jabotinsky’s 1923 Iron Wall essay to claim Zionism is purely an armed land theft, while omitting Jabotinsky’s argument for equal civil rights for Arab residents once defensive deterrence had ended violent rejectionism.
- Weaponizing cultural Zionist thinker Ahad Ha’am by claiming his vision for a Hebrew spiritual centre necessitated the “erasure of Arab villages” and discriminatory labour practices. In reality, Ahad Ha’am was one of the fiercest and earliest internal critics of political Zionism and aggressive settlement, publishing his famous 1891 essay Truth from Eretz Yisrael specifically to warn Jewish settlers against disrespecting, mistreating, or displacing the local Arab population.
- Characterising the entire sovereign State of Israel as an “illegal state” and asserting that the “only definition of Zionism” is “ethnic cleansing, genocide, and death.”
Institutional motion: Green Party Motion A105
Beyond online posts, Dr. Abudhaise was one of the primary named co-authors of Motion A105 / E02 (“Zionism is Racism”), submitted to the Green Party of England and Wales Autumn Conference:
- The motion resolves that the Green Party declare itself an “anti-Zionist party.”
- It classifies Zionism as an inherently “racist settler-colonial ideology.”
- It rejects the legitimacy of a sovereign Jewish homeland, calling for its replacement with a single unitary state.
Why this matters
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism identifies specific examples of discrimination, including:
- “Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective—such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling government, the media, economy or other societal institutions.”
- “Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”
- “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”
The material circulated by Dr. Abudhaise directly engages these criteria. Using hashtags like #EndZionistControlofUK and claiming the British government is a “captured state” serving foreign masters revives age-old conspiracy theories regarding hidden Jewish control. Substituting the term “Zionist” does not change the conspiratorial nature of the claim.
Furthermore, as a practising NHS surgeon and aesthetic doctor, Dr. Abudhaise occupies a public position governed by the General Medical Council’s (GMC) standards of Good Medical Practice, which require clinicians to maintain public trust and avoid conduct that could cause minority patient groups to fear bias or unequal care. The mixing of medical branding with state-capture conspiracy theories raises serious questions of professional compliance that neither Wye Valley NHS Trust nor the Green Party can ignore.
