A man and woman wearing NSW Health uniforms have been filmed on a public video chat forum claiming they wouldn’t treat Jews who presented on their ward and would ‘kill them’.
The NSW government said it is investigating after the video was released by a popular Jewish influencer.
‘It’s Palestine’s country, not your country you piece of s***,’ the woman said in the video.
Both the man and the woman said they ‘won’t treat’ Israeli people and the woman added ‘I’ll kill them’.
Health Minister Ryan Park confirmed he has asked NSW Health to launch an investigation.
‘This morning I was made aware of an appalling video circulating social media. The comments are vile, dehumanising and unacceptable,’ Mr Park said.
‘They made me sick to my stomach. I have asked NSW Health to launch an urgent investigation to identify the individuals and they have also referred the matter to NSW Police.
‘If the investigation concludes that this behaviour has occurred, these individuals will no longer be working for NSW Health. These comments do not reflect the values of NSW Health or the broader NSW community.’
Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel took to X on Wednesday to back calls for an investigation into the pair.
‘There needs to be an investigation immediately into these two n medical professionals who are saying they will kill Israeli patients – and suggesting that they already have.
‘They are expressing criminal intent towards Jewish people, this must be stopped.’
The woman in the video tells the Jewish influencer that ‘one day your time will come and you will die the most horrible death’.
‘You have no idea how many Israeli dogs came into this hospital and I send them to [hell],’ the man added and made a slicing gesture over his throat.
Ms Haskel, who lived in for six years and worked as a vet before entering Jewish politics, said that the ‘disease’ of antisemitism was ‘spreading in ‘.
‘This behaviour has to be treated with the highest consequences under the law and they should, at the very least, be fired,’ she said.
‘They have broken the Hippocratic Oath, they have talked about killing Jews, they show the true racism and hate that the n Jewish community is currently enduring.’
