Two NSW Health nurses have been stood down after video emerged showing them bragging about killing and refusing to treat Israeli patients.

The clip was shared by content creator Max Veifer speaking to Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, both of whom have been confirmed to be health workers from Bankstown Hospital in Sydney's south-west.

It is one of several videos on Mr Veifer's account that feature conversations with people in different parts of the world — mainly the Middle East — on the app Chatruletka, which connects users with others at random.

When Mr Veifer tells Mr Nadir he is from Israel, he responds that he will be killed and go to "Jahannam", a place akin to hell in Islam.

"I'm so upset that you're Israeli," Mr Nadir says.

"Eventually you're going to get killed and go to Jahannam, inshallah."

When Mr Veifer asks why he is going to be killed, Ms Abu Lebdeh comes into the frame of the video.

"It's Palestine's country, not your country, you piece of shit," she says.

Ms Abu Lebdeh says that his "time will come" and that he will die, before her words are beeped out in the video.

"When your time comes, I want you to remember my face so you can understand you will die the most disgusting death," she says, before adding that she won't treat Israelis.

"I won't treat them, I will kill them," she says.

Mr Nadir then tells Mr Veifer he sends Israelis to Jahannam as he makes a threatening gesture.

"You have no idea how many Israeli dog came to this hospital and I send them to Jahannam," he says.

Mr Nadir also says in the video that he is a doctor, which he is not.

The circumstances preceding the pair's comments are unclear as the video contains visible edits.

Solicitor Mohamad Sakr, representing Mr Nadir, said that his client had sent a "very sincere apology to not only that individual, but to the Jewish community as a whole".

"He understands what has happened, he is trying to make amends for what has happened," Mr Sakr said.

"He has never appeared before the court in relation to any criminal matters. He is a person of prior good character. It is unfortunate to find himself in a situation like this."

Pair in video confirmed as NSW health workers​

NSW Premier Chris Minns confirmed Mr Nadir and Ms Abu Lebdeh are health workers from Bankstown Hospital.

"Both of them have been immediately stood down pending a full investigation," he told 2GB Sydney on Wednesday morning.

"We need to send a clear and unambiguous message that if you go to an emergency department, if you're on a ward anywhere in NSW, you will be treated by people who are highly trained and highly skilled that care about you."

Mr Minns said an "ironclad investigation" was needed amid calls for the pair to lose their jobs.

NSW Health investigation into nurses, hospital​

NSW Health Minister Ryan Park called it "one of the most vile, shocking and appalling videos I have ever seen".

"Two individual healthcare workers behaving in a way that I never thought I would see, representing one of our New South Wales hospitals,"

he said.
"I say to the people of New South Wales, but in particular the Jewish community, I as the New South Wales health minister am so very sorry that you're having to deal with this this morning."

Mr Park said the two nurses subject to the investigation "will not ever be working for New South Wales Health again".

"There is no place in our hospital and health system for this sort of view to ever take place," he said.

Mr Park said the health department would be looking at Bankstown Hospital to see if there had been similar cases of antisemitism previously.

Police interview hospital staff​

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said an investigation was underway and that it was a "sad day for the country".

"Detectives have managed to interview staff and establish areas within Bankstown Hospital where detectives believe the video was allegedly filmed," she said.

"We have also seized CCTV footage which is currently under review. There will be further developments overnight."

Australian Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Jillian Segal called on hospital CEOs to conduct enquiries into their own workforce, and vet current policies and codes of conduct.

"Reassurance and words are not quite enough. They're important and necessary but they're not sufficient," she said.

She called on hospital CEOs and healthcare providers to ensure their policies and codes of conducts do more to prevent antisemitism.

'Antisemitic video is disgusting', Albanese says​

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in a statement the footage was "sickening and shameful" and welcomed their removal from the NSW health system.

"This antisemitic video is disgusting. The comments are vile," he said.

Local MP for Bankstown, Tony Burke, and Federal Health Minister Mark Butler said in a statement the Albanese government condemned the "appalling video".

"These sort of comments – and the hatred that underpins them – have no place in our health system and no place anywhere in Australia."

Laws designed to curb racial hatred in NSW were the first pieces of legislation introduced to state parliament this year. Here's everything you need to know about them.

Alex Ryvchin, the co-chief executive of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, said the video was "utterly sickening to watch".

"This is a warning sign once again to all Australians about the evil that exists in our midst," he said at a press conference.

"People should be able to feel entirely comfortable and be treated based on their condition and their humanity, and not to be dehumanised like the way we saw in that video."

Australia Medical Association (AMA) president Kathryn Austin said the company condemned "in the strongest possible terms today's antisemitic commentary within the health system".

"There is no place for hatred or division in the health system and this behaviour will not be tolerated. Our hospitals must remain safe havens for all patients," she said.
