Brickbat: First, Do No Harm

Two nurses with Australia's New South Wales Ministry of Health have been removed from their jobs pending an investigation of a video, apparently shot in a hospital, in which they said they would refuse to treat and perhaps kill Israeli patients. "I won't treat them, I won't treat them. I'll kill them," said Sarah Abu Lebdeh. Rashad Nadir added, "You have no idea how many [Israelis] came to this hospital and I sent them to jaheem [hell]." Nadir later told local media his remarks were a joke.

And then they trans'd some kids. Because, why not. If you're going to go full evil - then go full evil.
“Congrats to me, I’m officially an Australian Citizen. Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi.”
Taqiyya.
Rather obvious that he's not sorry he said it, he's just sorry he got caught:
Nadir spoke from his Bankstown home on Wednesday, deeming his comments a “joke” and saying he planned to publicly apologise to the Jewish community and those he offended.
“It was a joke, a misunderstanding … I will use social media, anything, to apologise but I need to go and see the detectives first,” he told News Corp.
“The entirety of what happened is just a mistake, ok? But I’m not in the mindset to talk about it right now.”
He said the matter was “serious” for him and “not a small thing”, given the extensive media coverage.
He declined to comment further on his remark that the video was a “mistake”.
“I didn’t mean to offend,” he added.
Sort of sounds like Mike Birbiglia's "Just kidding!" girlfriend:

AT has it right. Taqiyya.
It is fortunate how often terrible people are also incredibly idiotic.
I prefer them that way, it makes it easier to weed them out and at times eliminate them if needed.
Yes, there's a connection between low intelligence and violently anti-social behavior. Several people I've known who have worked in corrections have told me that corrections facilities are full of dumb people. One psychologist in the system described his job to me as "separating the ones who are stupid and violent from the ones who are just violent." The just violent but not stupid ones were the better candidates for rehabilitation programs.

So they find the Palestinian struggle against genocide to be funny?
Waiting until your drunk Aussie friend passes out on your couch, drawing a star of David on his forehead while he's asleep, giving him some juice with a dose of ipecac when he wakes up, and then driving him to a NSW hospital would be a proper joke.
. . . said Sarah Abu Lebdeh. Rashad Nadir added . . .
Ah those traditional Aussie names. Immigration / importing people from 3rd world shitholes and backwards, illiberal cultures is really paying off for western civilization.
Remember the 00s when, supposedly, homophobic doctors were trying to genocide the gays by insisting that they be allowed to treat AIDS patients differently than other people, or rather than trying to sift through convoluted NOK paperwork and getting caught up in who could be by what bedside when, they focused on saving the homosexuals that they were supposedly trying to genocide?
Then remember in 2020s when first-worlders were openly declaring that people should be denied medical care by virtue of the healthcare scam they enacted even if it violated the caregivers' ethos?
It's almost like there's a foundational conception or cultural ethos that actually wants to help people and do no harm while still being oriented towards greater liberty and many more cultures or ethos deliberately and dishonestly presenting themselves as better abiding those precepts for no other reason than to try to tear it down.
Well you beat me to it....

Those crazy Australians!

Anyway, lawyers and blood relatives aside, you might think that given the egregious professional, ethical and moral breaches of trust this episode represents, and how...unfortunate the optics are for non-hateful Muslims, mainstream Islamic organizations in Australia would want nothing to do with this pair. You'd be wrong:
50 Muslim groups and leaders have come out in support of the NSW nurses who said that they will and have murdered Israeli patients.
The Bankstown nurses video shocked us all, but it turns out it’s simply the tip of the iceberg. I can now further expose a toxic and racist culture in the Australian health sector with shocking cases of doctors praising Hamas and saying Zionists should be destroyed. They are still registered health professionals holding down jobs. Jewish doctors claim prejudice against Jews is systemic in the health system. In fact, more than 260 Australian doctors wrote to Health Minister Mark Butler on 26th October 2023 to raise the issue, but nothing was done...In one of the most abhorrent examples, Dr Mohamed Ghilan, shared a post saying: "Live like Sinwar or die trying". He shared another post showing slain Hamas leader Yaha Sinwar saying: "Humiliation will never be for us". Yet another post says: "I am Hamas, they are Hamas, we are all Hamas".
In another he said: "Antisemitism is just a weaponised cop-out to protect this criminal entity which is Zionism and all its followers". While resharing a post which called for Zionists to be "defeated, crushed and utterly removed from power", he added: "Any supporter of Israel is a rotten human. If nobody had any sympathy of rate Nazis, nobody should have any sympathy for any of these people". In one of the worst examples I’ve seen, a Western Sydney doctor wrote on twitter: "I've even become fearful when I see new patients Jewish names book in with me"...In one instance a manager described someone as: "He’s such a f**ing Jew", in another a colleague said to her: "There will be peace (between Palestinians and Israelis) when one side puts down their arms, and that side should be Israel". He was implying that Israel should be wiped out.
..."non-hateful Muslims"...
I have not seen any evidence that they exist. Islam is built on hate and slavery, it's in the name. House of Submission as in, submit to us or die! When they talk peace, they mean submit to us peacefully or die!
Make Istanbul Constantinople Again.
"I won't treat them, I won't treat them. I'll kill them,"
Spoken like a true ignoramus. If she won't treat them it means she will simply ignore them and do nothing but killing them is absolutely a form of treatment. Let's be honest if you slit someone's throat from ear to ear severing carotid, jugular, and trachea is absolutely a form of treatment, albeit not one likely found in JAMA as a cure for anything other than life because it will undoubtedly resolve any and all pesky symptoms associated with being alive in fairly short order.
Fire them, revoke their nursing certificates, and deport them to their country of origin.

Now why in the world wouldn't the USA want it too? /s
