A Sydney nurse has now been charged over an antisemitic video which captured her and a male colleague allegedly threatening to “kill” Israeli patients.
In the vision, which went viral online, the former Bankstown Hospital nurse could be heard telling an Israeli social media influencer “one day your time will come and you will die the most horrible death”.
Police were alerted to the “abhorrent” video and immediately launched an investigation into the comments made in the footage.
Following extensive inquiries, investigators arrested a 26-year-old woman after she attended Sutherland Police Station about 7.30pm yesterday.
She was charged with three commonwealth offences including threaten violence to group, use carriage service to threaten to kill and use carriage service to menace/harass/offend.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the charges were a major development in what has been a “very thorough and exhaustive investigation” by detectives attached to Strike Force Pearl.
“Strike Force Pearl detectives must be commended for acting swiftly under enormous pressure and public expectation,” Commissioner Webb said.
“These charges have been laid following a lot of hard work and legal advice, received yesterday from the Commonwealth DPP.
“Detectives have overcome obstacles and jurisdictional challenges to get where we are today.
“This is the fourteenth arrest under Strike Force Pearl with a total of 76 charges laid which demonstrates the commitment of strike force detectives investigating these offences,” Commissioner Webb said.
The woman was granted conditional bail to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday 19 March 2025.
Investigations under Strike Force Pearl continue.
