Two nurses in New South Wales, Australia, have been suspended after a video emerged showing them making antisemitic remarks. They claimed their words were a 'joke,' but the incident sparked widespread condemnation.
Two nurses from NSW Health have been identified after a viral video surfaced showing them making antisemitic remarks and suggesting they would refuse to treat Israeli patients. Ahmad 'Rashad' Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh were filmed in their NSW Health scrubs during a night shift at Bankstown Hospital. In the video, Nadir suggested killing Israeli patients, while Abu Lebdeh made hostile comments about Israel and Palestinians.
The nurses have been stood down from their positions pending an investigation involving both NSW Health and NSW Police. \Nadir, who claimed to be a doctor in social media posts, spoke to media outlets after the video went viral, stating that his comments were a 'joke' and a 'misunderstanding.' He expressed his intention to apologize publicly to the Jewish community and those he offended. However, he emphasized that he needed to speak with detectives first. Nadir also acknowledged the seriousness of the situation, stating that it was 'not a small thing' given the extensive media coverage. \Abu Lebdeh's employment history with NSW Health is several years long. The video, which was originally uploaded to TikTok by Jewish influencer Max Veifer, showed Nadir and Abu Lebdeh engaging in a conversation with Veifer on the video chat platform Chatruletka. Veifer stated that he randomly encountered the nurses during a live video chat session. The nurses' comments sparked outrage and condemnation from the Jewish community and the wider public. The incident has once again highlighted the issue of antisemitism and the importance of addressing such hateful rhetoric
