Two nurses in Australia suspended for reportedly making antisemitic comments
Two nurses in a Sydney hospital have been suspended from work for threatening to kill Jewish patients and refusing to treat them, triggering a police investigation, officials said.
SYDNEY — Two nurses in a Sydney hospital have been suspended from work for threatening to kill Jewish patients and refusing to treat them in a video on TikTok, triggering an investigation by police, authorities said Wednesday.
The video was shared by a TikTok user named Max Veifer, who says he is from Israel, and shows him talking to a man and woman wearing medical scrubs.
“I’m so upset that you’re Israeli ... eventually you’re going to get killed and go to (hell),” the man in medical scrubs said, after Veifer mentioned he is from Israel in a video chat.
When asked why he would be killed, the woman in medical scrubs said: “It’s Palestine’s country, not your country” and used an obscenity.
The woman said she would not treat any Jewish patients and instead kill them. The man, with a threatening gesture, said he had already sent many Israelis, who visited the hospital, to “Jahannam,” the term for Islamic hell in Arabic.
