Comment on Two NSW Health nurses have been stood down after video emerged showing them allegedly bragging about killing and refusing to treat Israeli patients.

  So they would deny treatment to a Muslim Israeli? 18% of Israel is Muslim. They would call an Israeli Muslim a dog?

  I am certain this is about hating Jews.

    “Hating Jews” is a broad and unhelpful way to frame this.

    The article quotes them specifically and repeatedly saying “Israeli”, never “Jew”, so we can assume they’re not discriminating against Jews in general but against Israeli Jews. And that is important to qualify, because in the context of Zionism and the Zionist Regime, there is an important and over-century-long distinction between Zionist Jews and anti-Zionist Jews. It’s harmful and antisemitic to assume all Jews are involved in or supportive of the Zionist Regime and its actions, so that’s why it’s important to clarify that anti-Israel sentiment (anti-Zionism) is different to merely “hating Jews” (antisemitism).

    They would call an Israeli Muslim a dog?

    In most cases I’d assume not, because most of them are simply Palestinians remaining where they already lived prior to the occupation, rather than colonising supporters of the Zionist Regime who identify as “Israeli”, but if they were one of the minority of Muslims or Arabs who declare themselves pro-Zionist then I reckon they would be called a dog no matter what their ethnicity or religion. On the same note, an actively anti-Zionist Jew living in the Zionist State wouldn’t be called a dog. It’s not about a person’s religion, it’s about their Zionism, which for historical reasons has strong religion and ethnic bias in the Zionist ethnostate.

    It seems unlikely that a Muslim Israeli is in favour of what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza.

    If you want to insist that those in favour of what the Israeli government is doing must necessarily be Jewish, feel free to, but that seems fairly antisemitic in and of itself.

    Ofc these people in the video are morons. As a healthcare worker you have a duty to medically assist anyone imo.

      Of course. But where was the outrage over Christian doctors refusing to provide medical service?

        Unfortunately that’s legal. I saw a GP who straight up told me he would not prescribe or give any advice on birth control as it went against his religious beliefs.

        While I strongly disagree with it being allowed, I can see how different it is to the OP article.

  I’m pretty sure this is about Palestine, not hating Jews.

  6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

    Not really, no. There’s a difference between being Israeli and being Jewish. A lot of people are pissed off at Israel and that has nothing to do with them being Jewish.

    Your logic is the same logic zionists use to say anyone who is critical of Israel is antisemitic, which isn’t necessarily true
