Second nurse charged with video threats of Israeli patients

A second nurse in Sydney, who allegedly appeared in a video that threatened to Israeli patients, was charged by the police.

Ahmad Rashad Nadir (27) and Sarah Abu Lebdeh (26) were suspended in February after the video was published online by their tasks in the Bankstown Hospital. It was rotated on an anonymous online platform that happened to combine people for a chat.

The authorities say that there is “no evidence” that the few patients have actually injured.

Mr. Nadir was accused on Wednesday to threaten, threaten or harass a carriage service and to have a forbidden drug.

The carriage services relate to modern communication systems such as phones and the Internet.

Ms. Lebdeh was charged with three crimes last week: to threaten violence against a group, to threaten a promotion service to kill and to use a transport service to harass or cause crimes.

Neither person has filed a lawsuit against the indictment, but Mr. Nadir apologized by his lawyer last month.

In the film material, which had apparently been shot in a hospital and was published by an Israeli content creator, Ms. Abu Lebdeh and Mr. Nadir allegedly refused to treat Israeli patients, kill them, and said they were going to go hell.

The video largely spread online and caused public outcry, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described it as “disgusting” and “hideous”.

At the beginning of this month, Australia passed harder laws against hate crimes after a wave of independent anti -Semitic attacks.

In the past few months there have been a number of arson and graffiti incidents in which houses, cars and synagogues were involved in Jewish communities in all of Australia.

There were also increasing incidents of Islamophobia. A teenager was arrested on Tuesday after he had supposedly threatened to start an attack on a mosque in Sydney inspired by Christchurch Massacre.
