Two nurses in New South Wales, Australia, are facing serious consequences after a video surfaced online allegedly showing them making hateful remarks about Israeli patients. Max Veifer, a social media influencer known for exposing antisemitism, shared the video, which quickly sparked public outrage and a police investigation.
Social media influencer Max Veifer has sparked a national controversy in Australia after posting a video allegedly showing two NSW nurses, Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, making disturbing remarks about killing and refusing to treat Israeli patients. The video, posted on Veifer's platform with over 100,000 followers, quickly went viral, leading to the nurses being stood down pending a police investigation.
Veifer, who uses the platform Chatruletka to expose antisemitism, regularly shares conversations with users who express hateful views. This recent incident appears to have originated from a similar encounter with Nadir and Abu Lebdeh. While Veifer has been contacted for comment, the nurses are expected to be fired from their positions at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. NSW Health Minister Ryan Park expressed the embarrassment and upset felt by staff at the hospital, while NSW Health secretary Susan Pearce has launched a review of patient incidents to investigate the nurses' claims. So far, the government has found no evidence to support these allegations. A spokesperson for NSW Police confirmed that officers are investigating the matter
