Indian-origin surgeon struck off UK medical register for antisemitic comments on Facebook

LONDON: An Indian-origin surgeon who worked in the NHS for 25 years has been struck off the UK medical register for making antisemitic comments on social media, including calling a Jewish man “circumcised vermin” and a “Jewish rodent”.

Manoj Sen, who qualified as a doctor in 1983 with an MBBS from the Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, (Calcutta Medical College), and moved to the UK in 1985, wrote on Facebook in response to Mr A, on October 10 2023, three days after the Nova festival massacre: “When dealing with circumcised vermin like you, not even the strongest measures will help,” adding that he was “regretful enough rats were not liquidated at Auschwitz”.
