TWO Australian nurses have been suspended after their shocking video making vile, antisemitic comments, including threats to kill Israeli patients.

The atrocious video has sparked widespread fury, prompting investigations and condemnations from political leaders and the medical community.

The livestream footage was filmed during a night shift at Bankstown Hospital in Sydney.

It shows Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad “Rashad” Nadir – both wearing NSW Health uniforms – making sickening remarks about their refusal to treat Israeli patients.

Abu Lebdeh, when asked about treating Israelis, flatly stated: “i won’t treat them, I will kill them.”

Meanwhile, Nadir, who falsely claimed to be a doctor, reportedly boasted about having sent Jewish patients to “Jahannam”—the Arabic word for “hell.”

The clip has sent shockwaves through the Australian community, where anti-Semitic incidents have been on the rise, particularly since the outbreak of violence in Gaza.

In the video, Abu Lebdeh is seen telling an Israeli influencer: “One day, your time will come, and you will die the most horrible death,” while Nadir adds that the influencer “will get killed” and “go to Jahannam.”

The disturbing video was since shared by Israeli social media personality Max Veifer, who urged his followers to spread it to ensure the nurses faced consequences.

By Wednesday morning, both nurses had been “stood down” from their positions as investigations into their conduct were launched.

“I create content where I expose people, I talk with people all over the world,” Veifer told Sky News.

“As soon as they found out I was from Israel they started cursing me and threatening me.

“I had a mission to accomplish to expose them, I had to stay calm.”

Now worried about what could happen next time he’s in hospital, Veifer added: “They should launch another investigation to see if they’ve done anything in the past. I’ve exposed two nurses, but how many else are there?”

“Seeing medical staff who are supposed to treat people, everyone, seeing them saying these things made me sad. I don’t know who I can trust anymore?

“If I go under anaesthesia, can I trust these doctors? Should I tell them I’m from Israel?”

Local medical professionals have since condemned the nurses’ actions.

Dr. Nirmal Grewal, director at Observatory Tower Medical Centre, where Nadir also worked, called the comments “reprehensible” and stressed that his clinic was “far from anti-Semitic.”

The clinic has since scrubbed Nadir’s name from its website.

Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, also wasted no time condemning the nurses’ remarks, calling them “disgusting” and “driven by hate.”

The New South Wales state health minister, Ryan Park, echoed these sentiments, describing the comments as “vile, dehumanising, and unacceptable.”

He added that if the investigation concludes that the nurses’ behaviour was as it appears, they would be permanently removed from the healthcare system.

“These comments made me sick to my stomach,” Park said, assuring the public that NSW Health would conduct a thorough investigation to ensure such attitudes do not persist in the hospital system.

“We cannot afford to have people like that in a health system,” he added.

“Everyone is entitled to access NSW health and hospital services without fear for their life and without having that sort of hate-filled attitude.”

In the wake of the scandal, both nurses have issued apologies.

Nadir, speaking to The Australian, claimed the comments were “just a misunderstanding and a big mistake” and said he was willing to apologize publicly.

“It was a joke, a misunderstanding… whatever happened, it was just a misunderstanding,” he said.

Meanwhile, Abu Lebdeh, who is reportedly suffering from an extreme panic attack after the video’s release, expressed regret for her words through a family member.

Despite the apologies, NSW police have launched a formal investigation under Strike Force Pearl, which handles anti-Semitic crimes.

Authorities are examining hospital CCTV footage and other evidence to determine whether any patients were affected by the nurses’ behaviour.

The video follows a disturbing pattern of anti-Semitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne, with several Jewish institutions targeted since the October 7 Hamas attacks.

As the investigation continues, the case has put a spotlight on the need for stricter oversight of healthcare workers’ behaviour and attitudes, particularly in a multicultural society like Australia.

“We will not be looking at this incident per se but we will also be going through previous cases to make sure that the hospital has been working in a way that reflects those values around safety and care,” Minister Park said, stressing the ongoing nature of the inquiry.
