A coalition of leading Muslim organizations and leaders, including Muslim Votes and Muslim Votes Matter, have criticized what they describe as “selective outrage” in response to a video showing two nurses from Bankstown hospital claiming they would harm Israeli patients.

The edited footage, shared by Israeli influencer Max Veifer, sparked widespread backlash, including from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who labeled it “sickening and shameful.”

The video shows nurse Ahmad Rashad Nadir stating he had sent Israeli patients to “Jahannam” (hell), while nurse Sarah Abu Lebdeh, when asked by Veifer what she would do if an Israeli patient arrived at the hospital, responded, “I won’t treat them, I will kill them.”

Both nurses have been suspended, and police are investigating.

In a statement released on Sunday, the coalition of Muslim groups expressed concern over the “speed, intensity, and uniformity of reactions from certain political leaders and media outlets,” calling it “revealing.”

They argued that the same voices condemning the nurses had “actively provided diplomatic and journalistic cover for the ongoing crimes of the Zionists.”

The coalition clarified: “This statement is not an endorsement of inappropriate comments. It is a response to the double standards and moral manipulation at play, especially when the mass killing of our brothers and sisters in Gaza is met with silence, dismissal, or complicity.”
