A smear campaign has been going on the degrade the reputation and work of Dr Swee Ang a co-founder for Medical Aid to Palestine
This is nothing new and 'deja vu' to Dr Ang Swee Chai, for the following reason(s):
In 1982, Dr Ang Swee Chai, an Orthopaedic Surgeon, was a volunteer medical staff at one of the two Refugee Camps attacked by Lebanese Forces, under the auspices of the IDF, and became an overnight eye-witness to the massacres, at the two camps of Sabra and Shatila. She testified against the IDF, as an eye-witness, at a Jerusalem Judicial Inquiry.
When she returned to Britain, ie. to her regular role as an NHS doctor, she found London Jewry, had 'closed ranks on her', and she could not find a London hospital to work in.
In the end, she had to find a hospital in Newcastle, to continue her role as a NHS doctor. It took quite awhile before she could return to London, to work.
That's the power (and influence) of British Jewry.
BMA cancelled me , and sparked off a smear campaign. Please sign and circulate CAMPAIN letter below
Dear Friends
Some of you might know that the BMA cancelled me as opening keynote speaker for the BMA Medical Student Leaders annual meeting on 4 April 2025. This cancellation was accompanied by a smear campaign against me, in which they justified their actions by rehashing my accidentally watching an antisemitic video more than 10 years ago. This has now spilled over to the Telegraph publishing a toxic article last week defaming Medical Aid for Palestinians by innuendo.
Of course, the real elephant in the room is my over four decades of wholehearted support for the Palestinians, and I am not going to stop, come what may.
Please read the letter written on my behalf by CAMPAIN (the Campaign against Misrepresentation in Public Affairs, Information and the News), that spells out clearly what this is all about.
Please open the link below and sign the letter to show your support against silencing me and so many other people who speak up against the historic and ongoing injustice and cruelty against the Palestinians. The genocide and impending ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the apartheid in the West Bank and the exile of 7 million Palestinian refugees for 77 years can only happen by silencing voices who speak up for them and humanise them. The first step to genocide is dehumanisation. Those accusing me of antisemitism and linking me with the Ku Klux Clan know full well I am neither!

Please circulate the letter far and wide.
Every signature sends a message to the Palestinians that we are with them on their painful journey and our support is unwavering. Every signature also sends a message to the silencing machinery that we defy them and will speak up against injustice and misrepresentation.
Thank you and with very best wishes
Swee Ang, Honorary Patron and Co-Founder of Medical Aid for Palestinians
