Influencer Hands Over Full Video as Police Investigate Alleged Antisemitic Remarks by Sydney Nurses

AUSTRALIA – An Israeli influencer, Max Veifer, has handed over the full, unedited video to NSW Police after two Sydney nurses were filmed allegedly boasting about killing Israeli patients. The footage, which was initially posted by Veifer on TikTok, shows the nurses making inflammatory antisemitic remarks during an online chat.

Veifer, who has over 100,000 followers on TikTok, shared an excerpt of the conversation, which led to the nurses being stood down from their positions at Bankstown Hospital. Following a request from police, Veifer provided the complete version of the video, which includes additional footage not previously seen. This unedited video, which features a heated exchange involving Veifer’s service in the Israeli Defense Forces, is now in the hands of police and is central to their investigation.

The nurses involved, Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, were immediately suspended by the NSW Nursing and Midwifery Board, and their licenses were revoked by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), barring them from working in any hospital across Australia.

NSW Police confirmed that they are continuing their investigation and have emphasized that the full video will play a crucial role in determining whether charges will be filed. “We are continuing to investigate this matter, and the complete video will be central to our inquiry,” a police spokesperson said.

The footage was filmed during an online chat on the Chatruletka platform, where users are randomly paired for video conversations. In the video, the nurses are seen in their Bankstown Hospital uniforms while making the controversial remarks. Although police have not found evidence of mistreatment of Jewish patients at the hospital, the video has sparked outrage and led to calls for accountability.

Veifer, who has been fully cooperating with authorities, shared on Instagram that he had provided the full footage directly to the police. He had previously criticized delays in communication but emphasized his commitment to helping with the investigation.

Nadir’s lawyer, Mohamad Sakr, issued a public apology on behalf of his client, expressing regret for the comments made and noting that Nadir is a person of good character. The investigation is ongoing, and the decision to press charges will depend on the evidence gathered, including the full video now in the hands of police.
