Sickening.

This is utterly sickening to watch. Their unrepentant, gleeful hatred is the precursor to the violence we are experiencing in our country and it must be stamped out.

⚠️ Shocking Footage Shows Doctors Admitting to Murder
For heaven’s sake, please share this.
In a now-viral video, an Israeli joins a live chat, only to find himself face-to-face with two… pic.twitter.com/lX3r48Ek36
The Minns government has removed two nurses from Bankstown Hospital after they appeared in an online video, wearing NSW Health scrubs, declaring they would refuse to treat Israeli people and “kill them’’ if they presented for treatment.
The video, uploaded by popular Israeli influencer Max Veifer, shows the two nurses saying that Israelis would not just be refused treatment but be killed under their watch.
NSW Health Minister Ryan Park said the pair, who had been identified, “would never work for NSW Health again’’.
Mr Park said the two Bankstown Hospital nurses, in Sydney’s southwest, had been stood down as NSW Police’s Strike Force Pearl – a unit focusing on anti-Semitic offending – investigated the pair’s comment, aided by the health department.
“I won’t allow a slither of light for any of them (the pair) to be allowed to work in NSW Health again,” the minister said at state parliament on Wednesday.
“They’re not welcome (to work) in our hospitals. (To the duo) don’t bother turning up to work tomorrow. I don’t want you part of NSW Health nor part of our community.”
The minister said detectives attached to Strike Force Pearl had already arrived at Bankstown Hospital to interview the pair, who likely breached “everything you can imagine”, including nurse standards, NSW Health responsibilities and, Mr Park said, potentially the state’s criminal hate-speech laws.
“These are vile, disgusting and deranged people, whose views do not reflect that of their colleagues, their community or NSW Health,” he said.
“They won’t be welcome ever again at NSW Health as an employee.”
In the video, the man says: “You have no idea how many [Israeli people] come to this hospital ... I send to Jahannam”. Jahannam is the arabic translation for “hell”.
The woman tells the influencer: “It (Israel) is Palestine’s country, not your country you piece of s..t”.
“One day your time will come. One day you’ll die the most ...” before the recording cuts out.
She goes on to say “when your time comes, I want you to remember my face so you can understand that you will die the most disgusting death”.
The woman then declares in the video that they “won’t treat” Israeli people, saying: “I’ll kill them”.
The man said that while Mr Veifer had “beautiful eyes”, he was going to “get killed” and go to “hell”.
“Those pretty eyes should stay in this world for longer,” the man said, who described himself in the footage as a “doctor”.
Mr Park said it appeared the pair’s comments were made to Mr Veifer on a “chat space” while at work last night at Bankstown Hospital. That forum appears to be Chatroulette: a web platform that allows users across the world to randomly connect via video and audio with others.
The two concurrent users can then chat with each other on the platform, before deciding to leave, or be randomly connected with another user.
NSW Health secretary Susan Pearce said the pair had been identified this morning a few hours after the video began to circulate.
In tears, Ms Pearce said the comments were “appalling on every level”, offering her “sincerest apologies” to Sydney’s Jewish community.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be standing here after two NSW Health staff said such horrendous things,” she said, adding that a rapid assessment of Bankstown Hospital found no evidence that the employees’ sentiment was widespread or had had any operational effect.
“There’s a number of issues, let alone hate speech – everything you can imagine has been breached in that video.”
Mr Park said the pair had taken an axe to a tenet of NSW Health: “that every Australian should be able to go to their local hospital and get quality, safe care”.
“To the Jewish community, I am sorry and the care you receive at our hospitals will be first class,” he said, adding investigators were combing through Bankstown Hospital to ensure the video was an isolated case.
“Our employees are deeply upset and deeply embarrassed… Our utmost energy and dedication will go toward reassuring the Jewish community that our hospitals will provide them with safe and quality care.”
NSW Police, given the “ramifications of the disgusting commentary”, will lead the criminal investigation, aided by NSW Health, who will conduct their own standards probe.
Ms Pearce said it appeared that the video had been recorded last night while the pair were on shift, confirming that neither were doctors, but nurses.
The Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive, Alex Ryvchin, said the video was “utterly sickening to watch”.
“Their unrepentant, gleeful hatred is the precursor to the violence we are experiencing in our country and it must be stamped out,” he said.
“No doubt we will see the defence that Jews have brought this hatred upon themselves through Israel’s war in Gaza.
“That these people are merely traumatised from the images of the war. They have it backwards. It is this hatred and dehumanisation of Jews that causes wars and the carnage of October 7 and if left unchecked it will further degrade our society. Time for consequences.”
Hopefully they're as quick to pounce on them as they were on a group of patriots singing the national anthem and waving the Australian flag... pic.twitter.com/8WXoCfQbxH
