The two nurses were immediately resulting by NSW Health when images of the clip on social media were published by the Israeli influencer Max Veifer on Wednesday.
Now midwife and nurse, Sharon Stoliar, has claimed that she warned hospital bosses for medical staff who used hate -sowing speech about Jewish people in 2023.
She says that she has submitted complaints about her colleagues after the Hamas attack of 7 October on Israel, in which 1200 people were killed and activated the Gaza war that cost nearly 50,000 lives.
In November, hundreds of nurses, midwives and health workers organized protests throughout Australia and called for a strike -the fires while singing: “From the river to the sea.”

Mrs. Stoliar said that a total of eight complaints about her had been submitted to APRAH and the Health Care Complaints Committee [HCCC]in which she is called to be stripped of her medical licenses.
