This is extremely disturbing to put it mildly. Not only their hatred of Jewish people especially as people who had ready access to vulnerable patients but also that they felt free to be so open about it on social media.

And I’m glad that their anti-semitism has been outed and that they’ve been suspended but how on earth are Jewish patients supppsed to feel safe in hospital when there are people like this treating them, or perhaps mistreating them?

"The man says “you have no idea how many [Israelis] came to this hospital, and I sent them to Jahannam. I literally sent them to Jahannam”."

That doesn't sound like a threat, that sounds like an admission to me.

I saw the video of what they said. I assumed it was fake. Then I saw they have been suspended. I assume they will be jailed (and quickly) and all patient deaths at the hospital and previous jobs they have had will be investigated.

I agree though I’m hoping that it’s hyperbole and it hasn’t happened but I remain unconvinced.

This makes makes me furious..not only for their disgusting behaviour and attitude but because....they aren't Australian!

He does have Australian citizenship though it appears. I’m not sure about the other nurse.

It’s absolutely abhorrent, OP.

I can't open the link but heard it on the radio

Absolutely abhorrent

Talk of never working in Aus heath care again, but what of arrest and incarceration?

I suppose it's wait and see

Absolutely horrific

Fucking hell, that's disgusting!
But sadly not surprising. People are more bold and vocal about their antisemitism now.😢

The stuff of nightmares. I hope they get charged and jailed accordingly.

I hope so too and it does look as though action is being taken but as TooBigForMyBoots mentioned, people are definitely feeling more comfortable with being open about their antisemitism and it’s extremely worrying.

Apparently both are now banned from nursing in anywhere in Australia and rightly so!
