Two nurses at a Sydney hospital have been suspended for making antisemitic threats and refusing to treat Jewish patients in a video shared on TikTok. The video shows them threatening to kill Jewish patients, with one nurse saying she would not treat any Jewish patients and instead kill them. The other nurse said that Israelis would be sent to Islamic hell. The New South Wales Health Minister stated that the nurses have been stood down pending an investigation, and the New South Wales state police’s antisemitic task force is looking into the matter. The TikTok user who shared the video, Max Veifer, has a significant following and his videos focus on the Middle East. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the video as hateful and offered federal police assistance to the investigation. The incident comes amidst escalating antisemitic attacks in Australia since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in 2023, causing fear among the Jewish community in Australia. The nurses’ actions have sparked outrage and condemnation, with authorities taking swift action to address the situation and ensure that such behavior will not be tolerated in the healthcare system.
