‘Kill them’: Police seek NSW Health workers who made threats against Israelis at their hospital

New South Wales Police are on their way to Bankstown in western Sydney after two medicos told a Jewish social media influencer that they refuse to treat Israeli people at their hospital and would “kill them” instead.

Premier Chris Minns this morning told 2GB radio that “the two individuals have been identified as NSW Health workers and they’re from Bankstown Hospital”.

video, posted by popular Jewish influencer Max Viefer, the pair claimed they “won’t treat” Israeli people and will instead “kill them”.

“It’s Palestine’s country, not your country you piece of s**t,” the unidentified woman said.

“One day your time will come. One day you’ll die the most …” she said before the recording cut out.

“When your time comes, I want you to remember my face so you can understand that you will die the most disgusting death”.

The man said he was a doctor “in a hospital”.

“You’re going to get killed and you’re going to go to (hell jahannam), inshallah (god willing),” he said.

“Those pretty eyes should stay in this world for longer.”

.

The man told Viefer “you have no idea how many Israeli dogs came to this hospital” before making a throat-slitting gesture.

The woman said “I’ll kill them”.

After becoming aware of the footage this morning Premier Minns referred the matter to NSW Police.

“Police are looking it right now,” he told 2GB

“My understanding is police are on their way to Bankstown as we speak.”

He flagged that the NSW Health Minister Ryan Park would be referring the matter to the Health Care Complaints Commissioner “immediately”.

“Both of them have been immediately stood down pending a full investigation of course but they will not be back in NSW Health,” Premier Minns said.

“We need to set a clear and unambiguous message that if you go to an emergency department, if you’re on a ward, anywhere in NSW, you will be treated by people who are highly trained, who are highly skilled, who care about you.

“I can understand right now members of the Jewish community … would be appalled at this latest revelation. We just can’t stand for it.”

The man and woman, who were filmed making the shocking declarations on social media while wearing hospital scrubs, are expected to be sacked.

Premier Minns said that so far they have only been stood down.

“We need to make sure this is an iron-clad investigation and there is not a glimmer of hope of some kind of administrative turnback so you’d appreciate the intention here is absolutely clear,” he said.

“I want to make sure people understand that these individuals won’t be returning to the office but there’s a process to be followed and that will take place as soon as possible.”

Minister Park this morning said he has been “made aware of an appalling video circulating social media”.

“The comments are vile, dehumanising and unacceptable,” he 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.”

Authorities are now investigating the pair, believed to be NSW Health employees, who are expected to be sacked.
