Two nurses in Australia suspended for reportedly making antisemitic comments

I eagerly await the response of the Free Speech Absolutists on here.

Psychos,

Kudos to the police, glad they were suspended.

You can abide by the Hippocratic Oath or you can subscribe to Middle Eastern politics, but you can't have both.

These two despicable individuals - Ahmad “Rashad” Nadir - an Afghan refugee - and his female colleague, Sarah Abu Lebdeh, have today been banned for life by the NSW government from ever working in public health again. Rightly so. Their actions are now before police.

Their words and threats to kill Jewish patients is sickening, and they are the very last people who should work in public healthcare.

Racist thugs.

They now free to head off to a country that approves of their actions and opinions.

Enjoy your new freedoms!

Ittashei

Arrest em and locked up but why is this world news?

There has definitely been a media blitz to try and humanise the zionists who just slaughtered 60000 people displaced 2.5 million and destroyed all their homes…but yeh let’s focus on antisemitism instead…

Just watched the video this morning and glad to hear of the swift consequences. Now deport them. Australia has zero patience for those admitting they would kill their own patients!

Not exactly the smartest cookies in the barrel ay! And yes, the bloodlust is real!

Ricky says "Now deport them "

Probably Australian citizens Ricky...deport to where ? Cant deport national citizens. Guess what...Gaza slaughter breeding strong, aggressive opinions.

The comments are despicable, but so are comments like "Israel, finish the job "...ie kill more Palestinians.

Moral compass mate.

You can abide by the Hippocratic Oath or you can subscribe to Middle Eastern politics, but you can't have both.

Tell that to the Israelis who destroy all hospitals, kill patients, doctors, nurses,, ambulance staff with malice aforethought. And it hasn't escaped the attention of those of us who have been sickened by our Western politicians' facilitating the ethnic cleansing of Gaza abide that they only abide by the "Hypocritical Oath" which for them always means politics before people's lives. And how come some folk take immediate offense over words dressed up as "anti-semitism" while silent over the sadistic carnage perpetrated by our "friends" for the last 15 months?

Take em down T man, and pay zero notice of the Hamas savage apologists, supporters and enablers. They are a lost cause. Deadlines, straight talk, action. Do the world a big favor.

Yep Ricky....thats you.

You know how many kids and women and elderly have been killed by IDF dont you.?

Again, moral compass or abandon morality for "might is right "

And this isn't "world news " is it ?

Read some readers comments on The Times of Israel for balance.

Idiots everywhere.

These 2 should not be saying such things........But at this point it's just words that are trivial compared to Israel's merciless slaughter of tens of thousands of Gazans.

Not all Jews are Zionist murderers, the two medics should know that.

Mr Kipling, you have a good point when you say not all Jews are Zionists, but without seeing the video or knowing what was actually said, how can we judge what was said? "It's Palestine's country, not your country" is not anti-semitic, but anti-Israeli and anti Zionist.

Israel denies medical care to Palestinian prisoners/hostages. Israel destroys hospitals and kills and imprisons medical staff. Israel practices genocide and apartheid.

Why did the man use the term for Islamic hell in Arabic, "Jahannam"? He could have been a Muslim, he could have been from Palestine, he could have lost friends and relations in Gaza.

There is so much we don't know. We don't even know for sure if the woman said Jewish, Zionist or Israeli.

Words dont blow babies to bits.

Important difference

Funny how people saying that murdering tens of thousands of Palestinians aren't deemed to be Islamophobes who have to be prosecuted, fired, expelled, but saying that the people doing that murdering or cheering them on should be prosecuted, fired, expelled is deemed to be antisemitism.

Yes there were atrocities committed on BOTH sides on October 7th, but there were atrocities committed by the Israeli regime for decades before that, and almost every day since, by the Israeli regime. And every single Palestinian in Gaza had been victims of at least one Crime Against Humanity perpetrated by the Israeli regime before October 7th.

Not all Jews are Zionist murderers

Well said..

Funny how people saying that murdering tens of thousands of Palestinians aren't deemed to be Islamophobes who have to be prosecuted, fired, expelled

You've been cheering on the invasion of Ukraine for 3 years that has claimed over 500,000 lives. That's lots and lots of 'tens of thousands' who you have been more than happy to not care about as long as Russia is gobbling up land.

Because of this, you don't have any credibility on either topic I'm afraid.

"Not all Jews are Zionist murderers "

Word !

Much of the info. on Israeli crimes comes from within Israel and those Jews with a conscience.

Long may it be so.

Jews have a long history of contributing to "the human condition " through all arenas, the Arts, Politics, Law, Government etc.

Sadly Israel, is in a quagmire of sorts, beginning from the top, with Netanyahu as PM.

Suspension is a start, but any nurse who violates the Hippocratic Oath and claims to have killed Israeli patients or threatens to do so should be terminated. The evidence is absolutely clear and undeniable. Not sure what they are waiting for. This would be my position even if the roles were reversed and it were Israeli nurses threatening to kill Palestinians. It's just not appropriate.

If there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s a racist thug

Maybe there is a reason for this. How do Israelis treat Muslim doctors? It seems both nurses were Muslim. Israel see nothing wrong with actually killing Muslims and huge numbers of them. Israel has lost any sympathy and so have Israelis.

Israel denies medical care to Palestinian prisoners/hostages. Israel destroys hospitals and kills and imprisons medical staff. Israel practices genocide and apartheid.

As do every other country in the world regarding medical care afforded prisoners..

But this article is not about Israel, it is about medical professionals in Australia potentially breaking a law.

Who let them into Australia in the first place? Did they enter legally? How about deporting them where they might feel more comfortable--Lebanon, Syria, Gaza . . .

Someone doesn't know that the Israeli regime's denial of medical care to its prisoners (the few who have been tried in a legal manner) and hostages (the hundreds of thousands who have NOT been tried in a legal manner despite 'our' willingness to act as if they were) and political prisoners (note, the White State in South Africa tried to 'administratively detain' Sobukwe, but the same media that refused to accept anything but an admission by that regime that he was a political prisoner, not 'guest of the state' or other euphemisms don't have the same standards of integrity when it comes to the Jewish State In Palestine) are a different order of 'denial' than the restricted access in American prisons.

I eagerly await the response of the Free Speech Absolutists on here.

Free speech only applies to the government. It doesn’t apply to being fired from your job.

Tell that to the Israelis who destroy all hospitals, kill patients, doctors, nurses,, ambulance staff with malice aforethought. 

Did this patient do any of that?

Words dont blow babies to bits.

Did this man blow babies to bits?

Proof of Australias broken immigration policies letting these 2 into the country in the first place maybe some jail time will sort them out.

New South Wales state police said its antisemitic taskforce

Has taskforce specifically for it? Must be really prevalent now

Maybe they should refer to it as antisemitism taskforce?

My take is that they will be charged under "Hate Speech " laws, the Magistrate/Judge will observe that the two have lost their jobs, income and reputation and will impose a suspended sentence plus hefty fine.

Jail is still the option of last resort in NSW and offensive words dont reach the threshold.

Where were the "task forces " and "Police " when the Muslim community were under mainstream, not fringe attack.

PM John Howard said "Well...people have a right to be bigots "

High Court of Australia ruled on " deportation " about a year ago.

Pretty narrow capacity to deport.

Predictably, Opposition Leader Dutton trying to make the most of this story with talk of expanding deportation ability.

Sorry Peter, words dont meet the threshold.

JBone...if the Israeli person served in the IDF in recent times, then yes, he may have "blown babies to bits "

I am uncomfortable with the surreptitious recording and element of entrapment used to create content .

Not condoning the words used however.

Guru. Hamas, radical Islam and jihadist and all the others with the bloodlust and hate running through their veins thank you. And may there be more of your type walking this earth in the holy end game battle for the soul of humanity, Inshallah.

Lecturing us about a moral compass. It’s glorious stuff. The good news is, future historians will be looking back at you with great interest and curiosity.

Carry in old chap. Appreciate you very, very much!

Thanks Ricky...appreciate your compliments.

The Israeli fellow who secretly filmed the nurses is described as an "Influencer ". "content creator ' etc.

Did he have a visa to work in Australia ?

Maybe "deport him " as others cry out

Police yet to lay charges....waiting for the Israeli guy to provide audio and tape etc

So far, pair not arrested, nor charged, living in their place of residence without restriction....gives you an idea that this matter is something of a storm in a tea cup.

Still no charges and the Israeli "influencer " in possession of the video not yet given said vid to Police despite Police request.

Story could fizzle out.....
