The brother of an NSW nurse in the middle of an anti-Semitic video claimed that she was 'setup'.
Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh from Bankstown Hospital in Sydney's Southwest, were filmed by the Israeli influencer Max Veifer in an internet chat room and said they would refuse to treat Jewish patients.
“I will kill them,” said Abu Lebdeh.
But Mohamad Abu Lebdeh jumped against the defense of his sister on Wednesday evening and told Daily Mail Australia that she was 'approached' to make the pathogenic comments and that parts of the video were 'cut' and 'edited'.
“Sarah wanted to be a nurse all her life. She loved her work. She helps people, she doesn't hurt them, “he claimed.
“That video was a setup. You can see that it has been edited. You can see the springs.
“Sarah said those things, but she was pushed. She was luring. '
Muhamad also claimed that his sister was antagonized by Mr. Veifer.

“Sarah was born here, but has lost 70 family members in Palestine, completely wiped out,” he said.
“She snarled. Everyone would hear that.
“To hear those things. It is too much, but he cut that part and showed it as if she just said that. She was provoked. She is a nurse and has won prizes. '
The police have since asked the full, uncut version of the influencer as the investigation continues.
Both are expected from Nadir and Abu Lebdeh to be sued in hate crime laws.
Mr. Veifer broke his silence on Wednesday evening on Sharri Markson's sky program and gave a grim warning for all Australians about the rise of anti-Semitism.
The Israeli influencer Max Veifer called on Wednesday evening to investigate the past of the couple in a television interview.

“I hope that I have opened their eyes a bit for this enormous anti -Semitism that happens in Australia and I hope they will finally take action to prevent these events from happening,” he said.
“It's not the only case. I just recorded it, right?
'I dropped it on the internet, but how many other cases happen in Australia. You should take this seriously. '
Earlier on Wednesday, the Abu Lebdeh family told the media that they suffered 'an extreme panic attack'.
Her uncle has insisted that his niece was 'sorry' for her anti -Semitic tirade and was so worked out 'that we might call an ambulance for her'.
“I try to calm her down to see what the F *** happened,” he told the Australian.
“She has been a nurse because God knows how long. She has never done anything to hurt someone. '
The second nurse involved also broke his silence to insist that his comments were 'a joke and a misunderstanding'.
He promised to apologize from the “Jewish community and everyone I insulted” as soon as he had spoken to the police.
“It was a joke, a misunderstanding … I will use social media, everything, to apologize, but I first have to see the detectives,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
“I didn't want to insult. It was not meant to be the case.
The Minister of Health condemned the actions of the nurses.
'This act of bastard, this despicable disgusting behavior of two individuals will in no way the value of the secretary, myself as the minister, but more importantly our state in the work that have [NSW Health staff] Do every day, “he said.
“If the investigation concludes that this behavior has taken place, these people will never again work for NSW health.”
