Police were last night speaking with two Sydney nurses after video emerged of them saying they kill Israeli patients.
Ahmad "Rashad" Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh have been stood down from their nursing jobs at Bankstown Hospital and Premier Chris Minns has said he will ensure they never work for NSW Health again.
The pair were on shift at the hospital when they had a video conversation with Israeli Max Veifer on the social website Chatruletka. When Veifer revealed he was Israeli, they threatened him and appeared to boast that they had and would kill Israeli patients.
TJI Editor Deborah Stone spoke to Sam Hawley on ABC News Daily about the case and the context in an Australia facing increasingly extreme and frequent cases of antisemitism.

Fantastic interview, thank you Deborah. Deborah’s right in saying we’re shocked but not surprised. The painful thing is that we’ve told our contemporaries, peers and loved ones that this is the direction Australia is going in – yet most of them dismissed us. This is as serious as it seems.
