(JEWISH GROUP) Sydney nurses plead 'not guilty' for viral video threatening to kill Israeli patients


Two Sydney nurses accused of threatening to kill Israeli patients in a viral video last year pleaded not guilty, local media reports.

Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 27, and Ahmad Rashad Nadir, 28, were seen in a viral video last February, allegedly showing them making threats against Israeli patients during a chat with Israeli influencer Max Veifer.

The video sparked outrage across Australia and the Jewish world after it was released. The pair were later barred from working as nurses nationwide.

At the Downing Centre District Court, both entered not-guilty pleas when asked by Judge Stephen Hanley to respond to charges of using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend. Abu Lebdeh also faces a charge of threatening violence against a group.

If this is their strategy…”Nadir’s lawyer said he will challenge whether the video can legally be used in court as evidence”…fat chance. I’m interested in his legal argument since his client posted it on social media himself.
