Sydney Nurses Face Suspension Over Antisemitic TikTok Video

Two nurses in Sydney have been suspended for making antisemitic threats against Jewish patients in a TikTok video. Authorities are investigating the incident, which has drawn widespread condemnation. The video was initially shared by an Israeli TikTok user, leading NSW Health Minister and police to take action.

Two nurses in a Sydney hospital have been suspended following the release of a TikTok video where they threatened to harm Jewish patients. The video has triggered both police and health department investigations.

The footage, shared by Max Veifer, a TikTok user from Israel, shows a confrontation involving a man and a woman in medical attire who made threatening comments against Jewish individuals. Their remarks have raised significant concern and backlash.

New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park confirmed the suspension and an ongoing investigation. Australia's Prime Minister denounced the video as disgraceful, amid rising antisemitic incidents since the Israel-Gaza war's resurgence in October 2023.
