Two Muslim Nurses Brag About Killing Israeli Patients In Sydney

Posted • February 14, 2025: 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[s] 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."
