A Sydney nurse has been charged over an antisemitic video in which she and a male colleague allegedly threatened to kill Israeli patients and refuse them treatment.
Former Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital nurses Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad Rashad Nadir were captured on video by Israeli social media influencer Max Veifer earlier this month.
Nurse Sarah Abu Lebdeh (right) has been charged after an antisemitic video was widely circulated on social media.
In the video, captured on online chat room platform Chatruletka, Abu Lebdeh allegedly threatens Israeli patients and tells Veifer: “One day, your time will come, and you will die the most horrible death.”
When asked what would happen if an Israeli patient came into the hospital, she says: “I won’t treat them; I will kill them.”
On Tuesday night, Abu Lebdeh, 26, was charged with three commonwealth offences including threaten violence to group, use carriage service to threaten to kill and use carriage service to menace, harass and offend.
She was granted conditional police bail to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on March 19.
