In early February, Ahmed Rashid Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, two Muslim nurses working at Bankstown Hospital in Sydney, Australia, were having an online conversation with Max Veifer, an Israeli. Here is some of what was said, captured on videotape. “Nurses’ full anti-Semitic rant revealed,” by Clareese Packer, NewsWire, February 14, 2025:
…The video released by Mr Veifer on Friday captured the moment Mr Veifer told Mr Nadir that he was from “Israel … the Holy Land”.
“I’m gonna be really honest with you, you actually got really really beautiful eyes, but I’m so upset that you’re Israeli, like eventually you’re going to get killed,” Mr Nadir said.
“This pretty eyes, they should stay in this world for longer.”
Mr Veifer asked why he would be killed, questioning whether it was because he served in the Israeli Defence Force.
“Maybe because I served in the IDF, that’s why?” Mr Veifer said, with Mr Nadir replying “that’s definitely the answer, correct”.
When Mr Veifer asked what was wrong with serving in the IDF, Ms Lebdeh said “because you killed innocent people”.
“Killed? I was protecting my country,” Mr Veifer said.
“So you kill innocent people to protect your country? What kind of soul do you have, you have no soul,” Ms Lebdeh said.
Mr Veifer replied “in the war people die, as you know — they started the war”.
Both Mr Nadir and Ms Lebdeh appeared to disagree, while Mr Veifer continued, asking “who started this war? Who elected Hamas?”
“It’s Palestine’s country, not your country you piece of sh*t,” Ms Lebdeh said.
“One day your time will come and you will die the most horrible death.
“Listen to me … when your time comes I want you to remember my face so you can understand that you will die the most disgusting death.”
At the same time Ms Lebdeh was speaking, Mr Veifer said: “You spread hate, we spread positivity, we spread protection, we spread peace, and you spread death – how are you doctors?”
Mr Veifer then began to ask whether the pair would treat an Israeli person, but Ms Lebdeh cut him off: “I won’t treat them, I’ll kill them … Not God forbid, I hope to God.”
“You have no idea how many Israeli … dog came to this hospital and … I literally sent them to (the afterlife),” Mr Nadir added while slicing his hand across his neck.
Lebdeh was arrested and has been charged with threatening to kill any patients she may have in the future who are Jews. And just now Ahmed Rashid Nadir’s turn has come — he’s been arrested and charged on several counts, but most importantly, for making claims of having killed “hundreds” of Jewish patients in the past. More on what Nadir now faces can be found here: “Second Australian Nurse Charged Over Viral Video Threatening to Kill Israeli Patients,” by Ailin Vilches Arguello, Algemeiner, March 5, 2025:
An Australian nurse working in a Sydney hospital has been arrested and charged after a viral video captured him making threats, stating he would refuse to treat Israeli patients and instead kill them….
On Tuesday night, 27-year-old Ahmed Rashid Nadir was arrested and charged with federal offenses, including using a carriage service to menace, harass, or cause offense, as well as possession of a prohibited drug, NSW Police said in a statement.
The arrest follows an incident at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital in Sydney, in which Nadir and his fellow nurse, Sarah Abu Lebdeh, were seen in an online video posing as doctors and making inflammatory statements during a night-shift discussion with Israeli influencer Max Veifer….
The incident is one of the latest in a surge of antisemitic acts across Australia since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza in October 2023, with Jewish institutions targeted in arson attacks and businesses defaced.
Law enforcement in Sydney and Melbourne, home to the majority of Australia’s Jewish population, is actively investigating hate crimes, including the recent discovery of a trailer containing explosives and a list of potential Jewish targets.
Since the formation of Strike Force Pearl, the task force to combat antisemitism, in December, NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb reported that 15 people have been arrested, and 78 charges have been filed.
“I must commend the work Strike Force Pearl detectives are doing to investigate, charge, and put these individuals before the courts,” Webb said in a statement. “There is a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work going into all these investigations.”
Last month, dozens of Australia’s leading Muslim groups and individuals defended the two nurses, accusing their critics of “hypocrisy” and “double standards and moral manipulation” in an open letter.
“This statement is not about defending inappropriate remarks. It is about pushing back against the double standards and moral manipulation at play while the mass killing of our brothers and sisters in Gaza is met with silence, dismissal, or complicity,” the letter said.
The Muslims are trying to divert attention away from the matter at hand. To wit, the claims made by these two Muslim nurses, one of them boasting about having killed “hundreds” of Jewish patients, and the other expressing the desire to kill Jewish patients in the future. What goes on in Gaza is not at issue here. But since these Muslims claim that there has been a “mass killing” in Gaza, we should not let that claim be uncritically accepted. Out of 2.2 million Gazans, 48,000 have died during the war. At least 20,000 of these were Hamas combatants. We know that before the war, about 800 Gazans died each month from diseases and accidents; in the 16 months of war, that amounts to 10,800 deaths from non-combat related causes. That means the total number of civilians killed in the war can be calculated as follows: 28,000 minus 10,800, or 17,200. Does a total of 17,000 civilians dead as a result of combat, out of a total population of 2.2 million amount to “mass murder”?
Now Ahmed Rashid Nadir will also have his day in court. He and Sarah Abu Lebdeh have already been struck off; neither will be able to work as nurses in New South Wales ever again, and given the massive publicity about them, it is unlikely that they will ever find similar work anywhere in Australia or, indeed, in the entire West. But don’t worry about them. After they have served their sentences, they can find suitable employment in Qatar, Algeria, or Iran.
Russ Wivell says
What about NewZealand?
gravenimage says
Are there also cases you know of there? I have not heard of any–at least, nothing specific. Isn’t this bad enough?
JS says
This happened here in the U.S. before October 7th. A few Muslims made videos promising to kill their patients.
Alkflaeda says
If you have access to those videos, and they have not resulted in legal action, it would at least be worth forwarding links to those responsible for medical registration in the relevant states. Even if the culprits haven’t acted on their comments, the fact that they think it appropriate to publicise such ideas at all raises questions about their professional judgement.
WPM says
I would not trust these people to emptying waste baskets ,moping the floors in a hospitals never mind treating patients .They would be right at home in the Nazi camps running experiments on the Jews there with the other Nazi “doctors” .Give them free airline tickets to the Gaza ,the jihadist can use their skills treating Moslem patients only there .The universal oath taken to treat all patients equally does not apply to Moslems in practice .,

WPM,
Agree.
If at all possible, avoid not only muslim physicians but also muslim nurses, muslim allied health professionals, etc.

Bagsgroove says
never hire muslims for such positions.
Hank says
As long as Australia keeps facilitating, importing and accommodating illegal fake Islamic refugees/migrants you can only expect more of the same from people who follow the script of a hateful and disgusting book they call the Quran. More important is as long as the sheeple keeps voting in a way that gets useful idiots like Albanese into power – you are asking for it, and can only blame yourselves for whats happening in your own country and local area.
Tim gallagher says
Yes, hank, in a democracy, I guess a country, that is the people in the country, do get the government they deserve. I think that this video of these two evil Muslim shitheads has probably woken some of the slow learners here up. I notice the swing to the right in some western European countries which I think must be because they are waking up to the disaster that letting Muslim barbarians in has turned out to be. Australians need to wake up then again those Chinese naval ships cruising just off Australia worried me even more than the Muslims. China is an elephant and Australia and ant by comparison. China is going be a massive bully in Australia’s part of the world. That said, letting islam into any non Muslim country is the dumbest move ever. Talk about importing trouble that could be avoided. No
Hank says
Xi was a farmworker in an Australian farming family to learn the ropes and got a lot of insight into Australia and western civilization – aside from farming. It is not a good program to have as it only gives the rope to your enemy with which they will hang you with. I would think the same goes for students sent there by the CCP to study at Universities.
Tim gallagher says
I didn’t know that about xi, hank. I am pretty sure that some of those students would be Chinese government operatives and that the thuggish Chinese government has plenty of information about Australia. China is going to be a huge problem.
somehistory says
There is a photo of pro-hamas *students* hanging up posters and signs on a campus here in the U.S. At least two of the *students* appeared to be chinese.
Just as water droplets will join other droplets, evil will join to and use evil.
Tim gallagher says
Whatever problems you may be facing in the USA, somehistory, China will surely never dare to take on the USA. With Australia, with our 27 million versus China’s billion plus population Australia definitely has problems up ahead with this gigantic bully. In our part of the world China is already a bully and it seems certain to get worse.
gravenimage says
Yes–scary, Tim.
Tim gallagher says
Yes,gravenimage, it is scary but there is nothing Australia can do about it. It is a very pleasant place to live but China and it’s dominance in our area of the world is a problem. Economically we do so much trade with China that we are fairly dependent on it as well. It is not good to be dependent on such a bully.
Bobby Rentfro says
What will it take for folks to realize that we cannot coexist with folks who want to kill us?
David M says
You need to speak to the politicians. I’m interested in seeing how many Muslims turn up in support when this goes to court.
Alkflaeda says
The good thing about this case is that there is no option on nobbling the witnesses – the video speaks for itself.
Lady of the Lake says
Why is he smelling his fingers?
sporticus says
Because he conflicted.
He says to the former Israeli soldier:
“you actually got really really beautiful eyes…This pretty eyes, they should stay in this world for longer.”
It’s striking that no one here or anywhere else has talked about these remarks that would regarded as embarrassingly peculiar even in laid-back Oz.
Mr Ungrateful Nadir came to Australia as a refugee from Afghanistan. That might explain the nail chewing and tremulous phrasing.
Mr Nadir, it’s not just OK to be Gay in Sydney -it’s compulsory.
Jenny H says
I also thought there was a distinct gay vibe about his interaction.
Like your last comment and there’s truth to it.
Very glad this pair have been charged and are banned from nursing in Australia.
All Muslim staff at that hospital should be investigated. Heard a report (Maybe SBS Australia) that Muslim staff have spat in food, not done postoperative care and delayed attending Jewish patients. Australia can’t afford to have such warped, unprofessional workers harming vulnerable people.
In the late 1970’s I remember a fellow student, from Sydney, telling me there were too many Muslims in Western Sydney, they didn’t want to integrate and were a threat to Society.
I hadn’t heard about it before and came from a place where a large number of post World War II immigrants (non-Muslim) were were successfully integrated, I dismissed his concerns.
Now, I believe him.
somehistory says
The evil female says the young Jew had no soul because he fought to protect his country; and she would kill for “what”?
Her group invaded the land of others, kidnapped, raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered….for what?
Using her evil reasoning, her group….none of them…have souls because they murdered and committed all of the other atrocities for …what?
Furthermore, she has no understanding of what constitutes a “soul.” They are ignorant ghouls.
They should be facing their own deaths.

Second Muslim Nurse in Australia Charged with Claiming to Have Killed Jews
………………………………
*Just horrifying*. No concept of the Hipocrattic Oath in Islam. How can these thugs thrreaten a patient *in their care*? I suppose they thought it would never come out.
And Mr Veifer sounds like a pretty unflappable guy–although nurses can harm *anyone* under their care. But have they also terrorized or harmed more vulnerable Jews?
Note that Israel famously treats Jihad terrorists–because it is the right thing to do.
Compare and contrast.
