An investigation is underway after a video shared on social media appeared to show two NSW Health workers saying they would 'kill' Israeli patients who presented for treatment at the hospital they work at.
Two nurses at a western Sydney hospital have been stood down after a video circulating on social media appeared to show them bragging about refusing to treat Israeli patients and saying they would "kill them" if they came under their care. Footage shared by Israeli content creator Max Veifer shows him speaking to a man, whom SBS News can identify as Ahmad Rashad Nadir , in a NSW Health uniform via Chatruletka, an app that connects users for video chats at random.
"It is crucial police are given time to conduct further interviews and navigate this high-level investigation," NSW police commissioner Karen Webb said. NSW Jewish Board of Deputies president David Ossip said the rhetoric captured in the video was deplorable. "That anyone feels comfortable spewing this hatred while wearing NSW-branded scrubs is sickening," he said.
