The Most Explosive Evidence In The Anti-Israel Nurse Case Tossed Out

An Australian court has handed a stunning legal lifeline to two nurses who were caught on video bragging they would kill Israeli patients — ruling the damning footage can’t be used against them at trial.

Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court Judge Michael McHugh dealt a potentially fatal blow to the prosecution Tuesday, tossing the viral video of Ahmad Nadir, 28, and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 27, because it was recorded without their consent.

“I’ve come to the firm view that the video evidence must be excluded from each of the trials of the applicants,” McHugh ruled.

The footage — which sparked international outrage when it surfaced in February 2025 — showed the pair making chilling threats during a random online chat with Israeli influencer Max Veifer on ChatRoulette while working a night shift at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital in southwest Sydney.

In the video, Abu Lebdeh declared: “I won’t treat them, I will kill them,” when asked about Israeli patients. Veifer pressed her: “You’ll kill them? So if an Israeli is in Australia and God forbid something happened to him and he comes to your hospital, would you kill him?”

Nadir answered by making a throat-slitting gesture, then said: “You have no idea how many Israelis came to this hospital and —” before trailing off. He also told Veifer: “I am so upset that you are Israeli, eventually you are going to get killed,” and boasted he had sent many Israeli patients to hell.

BREAKING NEWS: Australian courts just ruled that this video cannot be used in the upcoming criminal trial of the Sydney jihadist nurses.

Lawyers for the pair argued the nurses were recorded without their consent when they promised to kill Jewish patients.

Nadir later tried to walk it back, telling the Sydney Daily Telegraph it was “a joke, a misunderstanding.”

The judge acknowledged the obvious outrageousness of what was said — calling the nurses’ alleged statements “at the very least likely highly disturbing to right-minded people” — but tossed the evidence anyway, citing both the privacy violation and the footage’s already-massive spread across social media and news outlets worldwide.

Prosecutors had argued the random, public nature of ChatRoulette meant the nurses had no reasonable expectation of privacy. “Not all private conversations are created equal,” Crown prosecutor Justin Hannebery KC said.

The pair, who pleaded not guilty, are still scheduled to face trial August 31. Both were fired and suspended indefinitely from practicing nursing anywhere in Australia after the video went viral.
