NHS Surgeon Dr Mazin Fageir Used Social Media to Spread Antisemitism, Hateful Rhetoric and Disinformation

Dr. Mazin Mohamed Latif Abdelmagid Fageir (Mazin Fageir)

Senior Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon and Consultant at the Royal Free Hospital | London, England, UK

Background information

Dr. Mazin Fageir is a Sudanese-British Orthopaedic Surgeon registered with the UK General Medical Council (GMC). He practices within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), most recently serving as a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London (Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust).

A comprehensive review of his public social media activity has revealed a consistent pattern of antisemitic rhetoric, explicit support for militant groups, and public statements that directly contradict the core principles of a medical practitioner’s professional oath. Our findings are detailed below.

Promotion of Antisemitic Imagery and Conspiracy Theories

Holocaust Inversion Cartoon (24 May 2021): Dr. Mazin Fageir used his X account (@mazinfageir) to reply to Israel’s official account with a highly offensive cartoon. The image shows an Israeli leader pushing a coffin with a Palestinian flag into a burning concentration camp oven. The text on the wall reads “ARBEIT MACHT FREI”, the slogan mounted over the entrance of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Placing a burning, coffin-draped scene beneath it visually frames the event as a Holocaust-style extermination carried out by Israel. This is a well-known propaganda device called “Holocaust inversion”, which casts Jewish people as the perpetrators of a Nazi-like genocide, minimises the actual Holocaust, and weaponises its trauma. The figure burying the coffin is drawn with exaggerated, hook-nosed facial features and dark clothing. These elements echo centuries-old antisemitic caricatures and the visual tropes used in Nazi-era propaganda cartoons. The cartoon depicts the death and burning of people, symbolised by the Palestinian flag and flame, as something being gleefully carried out and sealed away. Pairing that imagery with the traditional holiday greeting “Shabbat Shalom” – a wish of peace – creates a jarring contradiction that effectively mocks the historical suffering of Jews. Under the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which both the NHS and GMC adopt, this is explicit antisemitism.
Holocaust Trivialisation (25 July 2025): “Zio’lst,” a redacted spelling of “Zionist,” functions as a dog whistle when substituted for “Jews”, a practice that the IHRA working definition classifies as antisemitism. Meanwhile, by using the phrase “hol*caust by starvation”, Dr. Fageir inverts the Holocaust by framing it as a new Nazi-style genocide committed by Jewish people, a recognized propaganda tactic that insults the memory of six million victims. These deliberate misspellings also serve to dodge platform moderation, signaling bad-faith posting rather than genuine commentary. Furthermore, the video exploits the image of a dying man as a prop for a dehumanising narrative rather than an informative tool..
Volkswagen Visual Conflation (3 April 2026): By sharing an image that embeds the Star of David into the Volkswagen logo alongside the text “From Holocaust to Gaza genocide,” Dr. Fageir directly compares modern Israeli actions to the Nazi regime. The image places the Star of David over a Volkswagen badge, which blames Jewish people everywhere for the actions of the Israeli government, since the Star represents all Jews, not just the state of Israel. This is a classic antisemitic trope, holding ordinary Jewish people collectively responsible for the policies of a foreign government. The design also exploits Volkswagen’s actual Nazi history to frame Israel and Jewish people as modern-day Nazis. This constitutes Holocaust inversion, dressing the entire slur up as respectable news commentary.
Denial of Self-Determination (5 April 2024): Dr. Fageir reposted a graphic from Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis presenting a map of India divided in half, with the southern subcontinent relabelled as “Israel”. By relabelling part of India as “Israel” and erasing the Jewish state from its actual location, the image rejects the principle that Jewish people, like every other nation, are entitled to a homeland of their own. Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, while taking every other nation’s statehood for granted, constitutes antisemitism. The IHRA working definition explicitly lists denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination as a manifestation of antisemitism.
9/11 Conspiracy Theory (11 September 2024): Dr. Fageir reposted an artificial intelligence graphic showing men in Orthodox Jewish dress wearing Star of David shirts and celebrating in front of the Twin Towers as a plane approaches. This directly pushes the debunked “dancing Israelis” conspiracy theory, which is the false claim that a group of Israeli men seen celebrating that day proved Jews organised the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. Because the men are identified as Jewish through their clothing and the Star of David, the image blames Jewish people as a whole, rather than any government or intelligence agency. This feeds the old antisemitic fantasy that Jews secretly plot the world’s worst atrocities. Furthermore, posting it on 11 September, the anniversary of the attacks, mocks the victims on the very day they are mourned. The polished, AI-generated look helps this malicious conspiracy theory slide into social media feeds, disguised as a joke or a curiosity rather than propaganda.
Targeted Identity Mockery (28 July 2026): Dr. Fageir shared a digitally altered, AI-generated image targeting Khaled Omar Youssef, a Sudanese political figure known as “Khaled Selk”, by photoshopping Orthodox Jewish religious items onto his portrait. These items include a tallit (prayer shawl), payot (sidecurls), and a kippah (skullcap), accompanied by the Arabic caption “Shalom Khaled Selkoom”, a mock-Hebrew pun on his name. The joke only functions if looking Jewish is inherently embarrassing, which is precisely the point. Instead of criticizing his political views, the image ridicules him for being dressed as a Jew, using a Hebrew-style greeting to drive the joke home. This type of attack is common in political discourse, where accusing someone of secretly being Jewish or a Zionist implies they covertly serve Israel rather than holding genuine convictions. The image also reduces sacred garments, specifically the tallit and kippah worn during prayer, to props for a joke. Mocking an individual by portraying them as Jewish, without any substantive political criticism, constitutes antisemitism through caricature. It relies on the exact same mechanism seen across this entire thread: treating Jewish identity itself as an insult.

Support for Militant Groups

Praise for Armed Combatants (3 October 2024): In a post translated from Arabic, Dr Fageir wrote, “We are honored and demand more reception and cooperation with the Murabitun in Ashkelon and elsewhere.” The term “Murabitun” is actively used by regional armed groups, including Hamas, to describe their fighters, meaning the post directly expresses support for and calls for cooperation with militants targeting civilians. Furthermore, the post concludes with a severe sectarian and gendered insult (“عرة المخانيث,” translated to “you scum of the effeminate”), rendering the content highly derogatory and hostile in nature.

Wishes for Civilian Harm and Violence

Endorsing Rocket Strikes (12 May 2021): Dr Fageir responded to a photo of a destroyed civilian home in Israel by writing, “Great news, thanks for sharing. May all the Palestinian rockets hit their target, amen.” He added that a population would be “wiped out one day”, which openly celebrates violence against civilians.
Wishing Constant Terror (12 May 2021): In a separate post on the same day, he replied to a report about families hiding in bomb shelters, writing, “May you live under rocket fire for ever, amen.” This statement constitutes a malicious wish for ongoing physical and psychological harm against civilian populations.

Disinformation and Abusive Language

Demographic Disinformation (12 January): Dr Fageir reposted a graphic claiming that 680,000 Palestinians, including 380,000 infants under five, had been killed in Gaza. Verified United Nations data shows the entire pre-war population of infants under five in Gaza was under 342,000, meaning the shared figures were mathematically impossible fabrications. By amplifying unverified and demographically impossible data, Dr. Fageir engaged in the public dissemination of severe disinformation. For a registered medical professional, the endorsement of such inflammatory, fabricated statistics violates professional codes of conduct regarding objectivity, integrity, public messaging, and the duty to uphold accurate, evidence-based discourse.
Targeted Abuse and Curses (4 February 2025): In another translated post, Dr. Fageir wrote, “May God burn you in this world, the hereafter, and what is between them, you and your masters, the whores of the Children of Zion (Bani Sahyun / بني صهيون).” The message combines violent religious curses with explicitly abusive language. In this context, Bani Sahyun functions not as a political critique of Israel but as a sweeping, derogatory designation for Jewish people as an ethno-religious group. Pairing this collective identifier with the slur ‘awāhir (عواهر / “whores”) serves to degrade and vilify the entire community. Meanwhile, the call for divine retribution, wishing they be physically “burned,” amounts to severe hate speech and an incitement to violent animosity.

Medical professionals are held to the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and universal care. When a senior surgeon uses public platforms to celebrate rocket strikes on civilian homes, distribute mathematically impossible disinformation, and weaponise historic trauma through blatant antisemitism, it shatters the fundamental trust required between a doctor and their patients.

Patients from all backgrounds deserve to feel safe under NHS care. We urge our readers to use this dossier of evidence and to submit a formal complaint about Dr. Fageir’s conduct to the General Medical Council (GMC) and the Royal Free Hospital.
