A barrister sparked outrage yesterday after he accused Israel of ‘orchestrating’ the synagogue terror attack in Manchester.
Ferrari-driving Sham Uddin also suggested that Mossad, the country’s foreign intelligence agency, has sleeper cells in the UK and is plotting to assassinate King Charles to ‘create a race war’.
Campaigners and politicians derided his ‘deranged conspiracy theories’ and called for him to be struck off.
His claims were among a series of public outbursts in the past 48 hours which Jewish groups say highlight the failure to halt the rising tide of anti-Semitism on Britain’s streets and online.
NHS doctor Rahmeh Aladwan, already being investigated for anti-Semitic tweets, posted a photo of Britain’s Chief Rabbi with the words ‘Rabbi Genocide’ on his forehead.
Dr Aladwan, a trauma and orthopaedics specialist, has previously escaped censure despite allegedly refusing to condemn the October 7 attacks, calling Israelis ‘worse than Nazis’, and describing two Palestinian gunmen who carried out a fatal bus shooting as ‘martyrs’.
Last night, Keir Starmer was warned Thursday’s attack on Heaton Park synagogue by an Islamic terrorist which left two people dead was a ‘sign of where the tolerance of anti-Semitism leads’.
Crossbench peer Lord Walney, former adviser to the Government on political violence, said: ‘It has long been deeply alarming for British Jews to see so many people in senior positions spouting vile anti-Semitic hate speech and who often receive only the lightest level of challenge or censure.
‘It ought to be as unacceptable to say these kind of things as it would be to be a white supremacist in British public life.’

A protest in support of banned terror group Palestine Action went ahead in Trafalgar Square, central London, yesterday despite pleas to respect the grief of British jews.
Among the 422 arrests was a man wearing a hoodie bearing a swastika over the Israeli flag.
Protesters at a similar event in Manchester cheered as a speaker called for the ‘dismantling of the Zionist state’.
Alex Hearn, of Labour Against Antisemitism, said: ‘The sickening Palestine protests this weekend, despite appeals to show compassion for the grief of the Jewish community, reveal the true ugly face of this movement
‘Using the swastika – the banner under which 6million Jews were industrially slaughtered – is grotesque and racist.’
Mr Uddin’s video sparked outrage and demands he be struck off by the Bar Standards Board.
Birmingham-based Mr Uddin says: ‘It is rumoured the Israeli government orchestrated the attack on the synagogue in Manchester… the Israeli government has sleeper cells in the UK and the USA and they activate them at their will.
‘It is rumoured that King Charles is on the Israeli government’s target list… They will assassinate him just before the elections in order to get the right wing activated and in order to create a race war in the UK. You have been warned.’
When The Mail On Sunday challenged Mr Uddin, he claimed he was merely repeating internet rumours rather than stating them as facts.
‘People are putting these rumours about based on the actions of the Israeli government,’ he said.
‘They attacked people in Qatar and [Israeli PM] Netanyahu said they would attack anywhere.
‘A lot of people in Israel are against the government. I’ve seen Jewish people attending pro-Palestinian marches.’ Mr Uddin, who stood as an independent in Bethnal Green and Stepney in the general election, previously said Israel was involved in the October 7 attacks.

Hours after the synagogue attack, Dr Aladwan described Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis as a ‘joker’, claiming he ‘is genocidal as ever’ and the Jewish community ‘has a serious extremism problem’.
And another of her posts read: ‘The son of the Chief Rabbi is an IOF terrorist and he’s proud of it.’
IOF stands for Israeli Occupation Forces, a term used by pro-Palestinian campaigners for the Israel Defence Forces.
After the President Trump-brokered Gaza peace plan was announced, Dr Aladwan wrote: ‘Allahu Akbar. Glory to the Palestinian armed resistance. Death to ‘‘israel’’ (sic).’
Previously, she has referred to the Royal Free Hospital in London as a ‘Jewish supremacy cesspit’.
The GMC later told a hearing of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service that Jewish patients would not feel safe in her care.
But it ruled she is free to practise during the ongoing GMC investigation.
Consultant neurologist Dr Rehiana Ali, suspended last year over her social media thread but later cleared by the GMC, posted that Sir Ephraim ‘should be arrested’
She also seemed to fuel conspiracy theories that Israel was behind the synagogue attack by comparing the named attacker, Jihad Al-Shamie, to the notion of Jihad as a fight against Islam’s enemies.
‘Very conveniently named too,’ she wrote. ‘Seriously… could it not be a little more subtle?’
Mr Hearn said: ‘These sickening comments by people in positions of power must not continue to go unpunished. Regulators need to get a grip and strike them off or the government must intervene.’

Itai Gal, of Stop The Hate, said: ‘We are outraged by the torrent of misinformation, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and even open celebration of terror expressed by Dr Rahman Aladwan and Sham Uddin.
‘Their rhetoric has fuelled an atmosphere where violence against Jews is seen as acceptable.
‘This is intolerable. The authorities must act decisively.’
The Campaign Against Antisemitism described Mr Uddin’s claims as ‘deranged conspiracy theories’ and called on the Bar Standards Board to suspend and investigate his ‘delusional allegation.’
A spokesman said: ‘This is not some anonymous troll but a practicing barrister. His delusional allegation that Israel is plotting to assassinate the King is grotesque, incendiary and dangerous.’
Health Secretary Wes Streeting wrote on X: ‘I fail to see how medics using such language with impunity doesn’t undermine confidence in the medical profession.’
