A Sydney nurse has been suspended and charged following a controversial video advocating violence against Israeli patients.
A 26-year-old nurse from Sydney has found herself in legal trouble after being charged with multiple offenses stemming from a video that ignited outrage due to its anti-Israeli sentiments. The nurse, Sarah Abu Lebdeh, was suspended from Bankstown Hospital along with another individual following the video's release on an anonymous online chatting platform. The provocative content showcases alleged claims of refusing treatment to Israeli patients and making threats against them. While authorities have confirmed there is no substantiated evidence of actual harm to patients, the incident has drawn ire from the public and officials alike. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the video's content as "disgusting," while police acted quickly in their response to the growing outrage. Abu Lebdeh is out on bail and is scheduled to return to court in March.
