Two Sydney nurses have been suspended after filming and sharing a vile antisemitic video that had the entire country collectively asking: “What in the actual hell?” The clip, uploaded to social media in what can only be described as a career-suicidal moment of bigotry, sparked immediate backlash—and rightfully so.

The nurses, who clearly skipped the ethics lecture during their training, were filmed spewing hateful rhetoric that had no place in any setting, let alone from people sworn to care for others. Their employer acted fast, suspending them and launching an investigation while issuing a very pointed “we don’t tolerate hate speech, thanks” statement.

Community leaders slammed the video, calling it disgusting, dangerous, and completely at odds with everything healthcare is supposed to stand for. The broader Jewish community responded with grace and fury, demanding accountability—and rightly pointing out that antisemitism doesn’t magically disappear just because it’s 2025.

Why it matters? Because hate has consequences. Especially when it’s broadcast from a profession that holds lives in its hands. Bedside manner isn’t just about handing tissues—it’s about basic humanity. Latest update? The nurses are under review, the internet is still fuming, and HR departments across the country are updating their “don’t be a bigot” training slides.
