It doesn't really sound like harassment. They spoke with his wife, she satisfied them it was for humanitarian purposes, they pointed her towards the official advice about travelling to war zones. That sounds like standard procedure.
The doctor himself doesn't provide any detail. He just says they "harassed" his family, but doesn't describe any form of harassment.
Would it be better that police didn't investigate people who take trips overseas to countries with high terrorist activity?
Is that polices role? I thought that was more border security.
You think cops are going to find the sneaky terrorists?
If he'd have said "I'm going to defend the motherland!!!" then do they arrest him? What charges and jerisdiction were they following here?
Border security work at the border. This sort of thing is exactly the kind of thing that would be delegated to local police.
If he’d have said “I’m going to defend the motherland!!!” then do they arrest him?
If his wife said that (as he is currently in Gaza), they would probably deny him re-entry. There would be no charges for anything, it's just an investigation. As for jurisdiction, they have it.
The UK has previously been the victim of terrorist attacks involving UK residents travelling overseas for training. Hell, there's even a documentary about it, called Four Lions.
Calling Four Lions a documentary is kinda funny
Rubber dinghy rapids bro :D :D
I actually saw them filming establishing shots for the movie in Sheffield, doing these panning in shots to their house from a cliff near where I lived. They were really cagey about it though, they wouldn't tell us much about it or the even title, they said it was "about a prison break". The London Marathon scene was also filmed in Sheffield, they blew up one of the shops on Wicker St, then that place was remodelled into somewhere qutie nice.

In this case its this group of police's role. They're tied up with MI5 and Home Office. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter\_Terrorism\_Policing
US has something similar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint\_Terrorism\_Task\_Force
