When shocking video emerged of two Sydney Muslim nurses – in their scrubs, in the hospital break room – openly bragging about killing Jewish patients, we were told that this was a mere aberration. ‘The moderate majority’, blah, blah, blah.
Except that, even then, it was obvious just how wide and deep the anti-Semitic streak ran in the Australian hospital system. The virulently left-wing nurses’ union jumped happily on the anti-Israel bandwagon. A litany of instances came to light of doctors and nurses, including senior specialists, being disciplined, stood down or removed from front-line positions, over anti-Semitic statements.
And they were just the ones who got caught.
Just how unsafe Australia’s hospital system is for Jews has now come to a horrific new light.
A Jewish woman injured during the Bondi terror attack has claimed she was given an Anglo pseudonym during her hospital stay in western Sydney, as NSW Health Minister Ryan Park conceded health authorities should have handled the situation better.
An investigation by Sky News on Tuesday revealed Rosalia Shikhverg was allegedly given the alias “Karen Jones” when admitted to Liverpool Hospital on December 14, after receiving gunshot wounds to the head when at the Chanukah by the Sea festival.
The pseudonym was reportedly printed on her discharge summary, hospital wristband and medication.
So, even after the most horrific pogrom in Australian history, the worst in the world since October 7, Jewish Australian victims weren’t even safe in Australian hospitals.
To pile on further insult, NSW Health too-obviously lied about it.
A NSW Health official told her it was to ensure she was protected from media coverage.
Well, this is odd, because they had no qualms about trumpeting Ahmed al-Ahmed’s name all over the place.
“They cut my (wristband) and put my new band on with ‘Karen Jones’ without any religions,” Ms Shikhverg told Sky News […]
She believed her name was changed to protect her from staff, rather than the media, and she was worried similar cases would happen to other Jewish people.
“In my opinion, they were afraid of staff (confronting me). They can’t trust their own staff,” she said.
Even as they lie through their teeth, NSW Health officials can’t keep the truth from slipping out.
Mr Park said […] “From my perspective, it was clear it was more to do with what was happening at that time in and around Sydney, and the heightened risks and threats we were dealing with.
“We didn’t want people coming in and trying to engage with her or threaten her or make any comments to people who had already been through hell and back.”
And just what was happening in Sydney at the time? Oh, that’s right: years of open, violent anti-Semitism spewing from the Muslim community. Culminating in two Muslims going on a murderous anti-Jewish rampage.
And the victims clearly aren’t safe from murderous anti-Semites, even in hospital.
What a low pass this country has been brought to.
