[Solidarityformidwife]

Please read and consider supporting this Midwife who was referred to the NMC and Prevent by her former NHS Trust employer for criticising Zionism, the occupation of and genocide against Palestinian people. The Trust are being influenced by UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), a pro-Israeli lobby group.

THIS. The woman is a terrorist sympathiser who gloried in the butchering of children because they were Jewish.

give your head a fucking wobble OP. I’m not Jewish but I wouldn’t want her anywhere near a health care role - and definitely not in anything related to equality.

Circa 8000 dead between 2008-2022 at hands of Zionists, pre Hammas attacks in October 2023.

You may remember Nelson Mandela was previously designated a ‘terrorist’, for others he was, and publicly was pronounced, a freedom fighter.

Again, I agree, the tweet was in poor taste given what occurred on 7 October. I do not support that.

Again, what response did the Israeli government do on 8 October which was in response to the Hamas terrorist attack the day before?

Israel declared they were at war. The US SoS declared that Israel had the right to defend itself. The tweet, to me, suggests that Palestine also has right to defend itself. I do not condone the actions of Hammas.

So no actual Palestinian's were harmed st this point by Israel in response to the Hamas terrorist attack.

We can agree there is a bigger picture here, beyond 7 October, yes?

@Solidarityformidwife read the room.

No one on this thread supports what this midwife has done and finds the actions of the Trust to make those referrals both necessary and understandable. I would hazard a guess that many of us on this thread are healthcare professionals, as I suspect you are. Reflection is an important part of our role; May I suggest you go and partake in some, having read the responses on this thread. Stop tarnishing the character of our profession via this completely unacceptable behaviour

@Restlessinthenorth Is reflection not looking at a situation through different lenses? If that is unacceptable, I am happy to be corrected. As I said earlier, I recognise I may currently be in an echo chamber. All your replies are helping me see different views. In hindsight, I could have posed my OP differently.

I'm suggesting you reflect on the comments of the many people who have posted on here, telling you exactly why her behaviour was wrong and why her Trust were duty bound to make those referrals, something you seem to be having great trouble taking on board. It appears what you actually wanted from this thread was an even bigger echo chamber.

As I said, I’m grateful for your responses.

Circa 8000 dead

The chart says 7,340 - your maths is as good as the UN and other NGOs who can't seem to work out how many children have been killed in one closely monitored city of 2 million people. Is it 50,000 (UNICEF), 15,000 (also Unicef) or 30,000 (Vatican)? It's almost like they're making it up as they go along.

You don't think Ithat a midwife calling rape and murder resistance is concerning? I certainly wouldn't want her around me in my most vulnerable moments.

Why doesn't she volunteer in gaza?

Your language and critical thinking regard this topic is limited and under pressure you revert to whatabootery
She is a midwife her job is not to shout out, her job is not political activism. Her role was safeguarding and cultural safety for all.
Her employer Chel West is compelled to report to Prevent. A statutory duty, It's not an arbitrary decision. It is not harassment
The midwife has a code of ethics that includes use of social media, she will have known that her social media posts (work or social) should be appropriate, not bring employer or profession into disrepute, and (importantly) not derogatory, not divisive

As a HCP she’s expected to use social media responsibly in her personal and professional life. Reputational management, both her professional reputation and her employer reputation.

My contention is that as a midwife and cultural safety lead, she will have known her professional body and employer expected standards , she will have facilitated and lead on training about cultural safety. As a midwife she’ll know all about statutory reporting MARAC, MAPPA, PREVENT and safeguarding
None of this will have been a surprise or unexpected

yes, let’s see how the case develops. It’s legal and has a process. It won’t be about shouting out

please reflect on your motives for this post and the risks in superficial understanding. You’ve used some flimsy tropes to justify your posts and your advocacy for this crowdfunding

what compelled you to post about this? Do you still feel the same?

I don’t feel the same, no. Particularly once I became aware of the tweet (which I have already clarified) and reflecting on the role of a cultural safety midwife. As above, I should have shared to the post to elicit a debate as I have found Mumsnet to be a critical friend.

I can also understand the reason for NMC and Prevent referrals though I find it problematic why these came a year after she left the Trust’s employment. If she gave that much cause for concern, why not move her to a different role or suspend her? That’s what feels like harassment/discrimination to me. Does the colour of her skin affect this? Probably not though she may feel otherwise.

I do agree that she has used her platform as a midwife to advocate for the Palestinian people and can see how this would make some women/birthing people feel uncomfortable particularly as she has not condemned the October attacks. This feels like an intentional oversight in her crowd funding story. She is also in a position of power. I am unsure how this impacts on her day to day practice and it would be good to have some clarification in this respect.

In terms of why I posted this, as above, the midwife is in a position of power, and influence. I will it leave that there.

Thanks for returning and replying I see your position has shifted. Thread has been useful in that respect

I must note that yesterday 30 Aug 2025 Ohmygodyouknowhertoo made excellent post about health inequalities for BAME women in pg and birth outcomes . Higher mortality rates. Don’t want @Ohmygodyouknowhertoo post to get missed - difficult but necessary read

And the need for cultural safety is because women from Black and Asian backgrounds are more likely to die in childbirth and women from deprived areas are also more likely to have poor outcomes. It's literally absolutely nothing to do with Gaza and Israel although should the women in labour be from either place they may have specific needs that should be identified

Ms Mohamied will have representation and an opportunity to present her case

Yes, that's concerning.
She really ought to have condemned the events of October 7th as well.

I can't read the whole article but I think it's interesting journalists are talking about it. More people should know what she did to prevent her to find a job where she does have contact with pregnant women.

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/25/massacre-praising-cultural-safety-lead-midwife/

"UKLFI sent a second letter on 5 March 2025 on a separate issue that accused her of antisemitism, bullying, harassment, and spreading racial hatred after Mohamied criticised an online article written by two Jewish midwives"

good point from @CoffeeLipstickKeys
I’m glad you are willing to listen to other perspectives OP l, I think the world would be a better place if more people did that. Hopefully you can understand why people might feel fearful of rather than malicious towards someone who appears to condone the Oct 7 attack

Bit rich of her to moan about discrimination and being silenced when she herself thinks that midwives who are "known zionists" should not be allowed to speak at midwifery events.

Quite. Not only is she a terrorist sympathiser/agitator, she's an intolerant bigot.

Not in the least bothered about UK Lawyers for Israel UKLFI - In fact I’d expect them to initiate a challenge, the name is a giveaway as to their affiliation.

so long as individuals and or groups are transparent about ideology/beliefs and why they fund or support a cause or individual

Recently in Scotland Women Won't Wheesht a feminist group of women in Scotland used crowdfunding and individual donations to bring case against Scottish government

Thank you for sharing this OP. I have donated and she has my full support. She was right.
