Thread: Australian police link explosives and list of Jewish targets to antisemitic plot

Australian police believe explosives found on Sydney’s outskirts were evidence of a deadly escalation in a campaign of antisemitic arson and graffiti crimes that has been waged in major cities for months, officials said on Wednesday.


Police found a list of Jewish targets together with a cache of Powergel, an explosive used in the mining industry, in a trailer in the outer suburb of Dural on Jan. 19, New South Wales state Deputy Police Commissioner David Hudson said.


Hudson said there were enough explosives to make a bomb with a blast zone of around 40 meters (130 feet).


“This is certainly an escalation,” Hudson told reporters, referring to a recent series of antisemitic crimes in Sydney, where businesses and cars have been torched and buildings graffitied. “The use of explosives … have the potential to cause a great deal of damage.”


He said several suspects had been arrested who were not directly related to the explosives.


He declined to identify the potential Jewish targets.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to nominate the targets. I can indicate that the Jewish community will be made aware,” Hudson said.


Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called the attempted attack “intolerable” in a post to X, formerly known as Twitter. “The epidemic of antisemitism is spreading in Australia almost unchecked,” he wrote. “We expect the Australian government to do more to stop this disease!”


Since the Israel-Hamas war began in 2023, targeted arson and graffiti attacks have soared in Australia’s largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, which are home to 85% of the country’s Jewish population.


A worshipper suffered burn injuries in a fire that was set at a Melbourne synagogue in December. The attack is being investigated by a joint counterterrorism team involving federal and state law enforcement authorities.


New South Wales Premier Chris Minns said counterterrorism authorities were also investigating the explosives discovery.


“This is the discovery of a potential mass casualty event. There’s only one way of calling it out and that is terrorism. That’s what we’re very worried about,” Minns said. “This would strike terror into the community, particularly the Jewish community, and it must be met with the full resources of the government.”

Mr. Saar's comments are very worrying. Hopefully the former Queensland butcher and copper soon becomes Prime Minister and focuses on law and order and a crushing of antisemitism. Bye bye to the current woke agenda.

What percentage of the Lebo population lives in those cities then?

ragheads and their sympathisers doing the only tjkng they know, terrorist violence.

Fun fact: Arabs are semites too, so they must be anti-themselves.

It's been reported some Sydney healthcare workers have been bragging on social media about Killing and refusing to treat Israeli tourists. Dumbasses. The police are now involved.

Bloody Aussies at it again!

Australian police investigate nurses who claimed to have killed Israeli patients

After Wednesday’s viral circulation of a video of two Australian nurses claiming to have killed Israeli patients and threatening to kill more, the Sydney area medical practitioners have been suspended.


The New South Wales Police Force’s antisemitism task force has taken over the investigation, interviewing staff and seizing CCTV footage. It has identified the likely location within Bankstown Hospital where a male nurse told Israeli English teacher and social-media influencer Max Veifer: “You have no idea how many Israeli s**t dogs have come to this hospital, and I sent them to hell.”


“I won’t treat them, I’ll kill them,” said a female nurse in a hijab, according to a post of a random video chat interaction Veifer posted on his social media account. The video had been temporarily suspended on Instagram.

The female nurse expressed her hope that he would remember her face when he died the “most disgusting death,” trailing off into expletives.

Antisemitism contiues to rise in Australia


“It’s Palestine’s country, not your country, you piece of shit,” said the nurse.


The male nurse, claiming to be a doctor, said at the outset of the conversation: “You have beautiful eyes, but I’m upset that you’re Israeli. Eventually, when you’re killed, you’re going to go to hell.”

As Australian and Israeli officials and Jewish citizens expressed outrage, NSW Police Force Commissioner Karen Webb said Strike Force Pearl was investigating the matter.


Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the Australian Federal Police had offered “whatever assistance” to the state police, Reuters reported.
“This is a sad day for our country,” Webb said. “It is unthinkable that we are confronted with and forced to investigate such an appalling incident.”

New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park said in a post on Facebook: If the “investigation concludes that this behavior has occurred, these individuals will no longer be working for NSW Health.”


In a post on X, Albanese said NSW authorities have suspended the suspects.


NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce said state authorities had immediately contacted the police and launched its own investigation.

“Please be aware that our hospitals are safe,” she said. “They are safe places, and we have already taken steps to review the safety of the hospital concerned in this matter, and we have identified nothing that indicates the hospital is unsafe. You should be confident that you’ll receive safe care in our hospitals from our dedicated and caring staff.”


Jewish organization reacts


Nevertheless, Australian Jewish Association (AJA) CEO Robert Gregory said his organization was aware of Jewish patients who have decided to hide their identity while visiting the hospital.


“Patients in hospitals are vulnerable, and it is understandable that Jewish patients would have concerns,” he told The Jerusalem Post. “We are hopeful that Jewish and Israeli patients will be treated like everyone else at Australian medical facilities. But nowhere in Australia is immune to the recent surge of antisemitism.”


AJA was concerned about how widespread such views might be, Gregory said, adding that while in this situation the staff members were exposed, but in other cases, staff members might have acted on such views.


Zionist Federation of Australia president Jeremy Leibler said the incident had exposed a harsh reality about how much antisemitism has been normalized in Australian society.


“For more than a year, we have watched as violent rhetoric on our streets has turned into violent attacks, labeled domestic terrorism by law enforcement,” he said. “That two nurses could openly discuss harming Israeli patients is a chilling reminder of how far this has gone.


“While we welcome the swift response from authorities and political leaders who have rightly called this antisemitism for what it is, we must also confront the deeper issue: This did not happen in a vacuum. This is the cost of tolerating hate and demonization of Israel in this country,” Leibler said.
The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies said in a post on Facebook it was sickening that the nurses had felt comfortable making the comments while wearing state-branded scrubs.


“The rhetoric captured in this video is deplorable and has no place in our healthcare system,” it said.


Macarthur MP Mike Freelander, himself a doctor, said the incident had “shaken me to my very core as a Jewish Australian.”


“The fact that they come from the area health service that I work in, and live in our society, is disgusting,” he said in an address to Parliament.


Israeli MKs expressed anger and called for an immediate investigation into what Likud MK Dan Illouz called “incitement to murder.”
Religious Zionist Party MK Ohad Tal said the nurses had betrayed their Hippocratic Oaths to “uphold a Nazi-fascist ideology.”
“As chairman of the Israel-Australia Friendship Association, I will be reaching out to my counterpart in Australia today to demand swift action on this matter,” he said.


On Wednesday, Israeli Ambassador to Australia Amir Maimon spoke with New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, who assured him that all necessary measures were being taken.


The Democrats MK Gilad Kariv said the trend of rising antisemitism in Australia was indicative that Jews were not safe in many places in the world.
“The State of Israel has a moral and historical obligation to the security of Jews living in the Diaspora,” he said, promising to prioritize fighting against antisemitism if he assumes leadership of the Immigration and Diaspora Committee.


New Hope-United Right MK Sharren Haskel said the incident had occurred as antisemitism surged in Australia at “an alarming rate, increasing by hundreds of percent.”


“Several months ago, I issued a firm and unequivocal call to Australian authorities, government officials, and public representatives, urging them to take decisive action and assume responsibility for combating antisemitism, which has become a serious societal illness,” she said. “Having lived in Sydney for nearly seven years, I am deeply saddened by what it has become.


“A country once regarded as one of the safest, most tolerant, and open for Jews has now turned into a hotspot for antisemitism. The discovery of an explosive device intended for a major attack against Jews is proof that antisemitism is escalating dangerously and crossing all boundaries,” Haskel said.

Australia investigates nurses over threats to Israeli patients - The Jerusalem Post

New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park said in a post on Facebook: If the “investigation concludes that this behavior has occurred, these individuals will no longer be working for NSW Health.”

WTF? They are on video saying these terrible things. Fire them and take their licenses!

I suspect the nurses are more dingbats than killers. Goodbye to their careers.

They said stupid shit on video. The video has been edited. They’ve lost their jobs, will lose their health care licences and Dutton is talking about stripping their citizenship. They have not been arrested or involved in illegal activity before. There does not appear to be any evidence that they actually denied any Israeli medical treatment nor killed anyone. Though, that is being carefully investigated now.

I'm not defending them, but I’m wondering if the response is proportionate.

They've really undermined confidence in the health system. They can probably be charged with something but it's the work sanctions that will hit hardest.

of course its proportionate you ignorant oaf.

a minority religious group have been threatened by doctors and nurses of another faith with being killed by should they turn up at hospital seeking medical treatment.

it is terrorism. they are dangerous, and should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Yes, their moronic comments were designed to impose terror on Jewish people using the health care system in Australia. I hope they can charge them with some serious offences.

There’s a surprise reaction from our resident Muslim hater that nobody could have predicted.

It’s not terrorism at all, you absolute twit.

Tax, you’ve called for the death of Arabs and Palestinians on this forum. Does that mean you should lose your business, lose your license and be stripped of your citizenship?

No, your words as unpleasant as they are, are only words. Same thing.

It’s not the same thing at all. No one knows who Tax really is on this forum. No one is threatened and no one is made to feel afraid to seek dental treatment.

I am not a Muslim hater but I do agree what these two nurses did amounts to terrorism. Furthermore, they are medical workers and are supposed to help anyone who needs help without bias.

It is the same thing. It was a random video encounter on social media. The person who ‘met’ them had no idea who they were either and is not a user of the hospital at which they were at.

Furthermore, they are medical workers and are supposed to help anyone who needs help without bias.

Agreed, but there is no indication that this occurred. Literally just a very nasty and unpleasant video right now.

They said they had killed patients and turned patients away? If Tax said he in the past did that, even though he's retired, he risks someone turning him in.

The twin towers, ISIS, yazadi slave women, beheadings, bombings in the uk, spain, charlie hebdo, salman rushdie, the beheading of lee rigby on the streets of london, ariana grande concert bombing, the batley teacher in hiding for 4 years. Do I need to go on.

Wherever these animals wash up in the west, there is trouble. We dont get trouble from buddhists, from jews, from sikhs, from the chinese or ukranian refugees, its only from the misogynist, women beating, rapist, head chopping islamist scum.

And have you seen the news from munich today, some neanderthal afghan refugee has driven a car at speed into a crowd, over 20, including children and women seriously injured.

And you wonder why people are wary of them, hold negative opinions of them, cannot trust them, and wish they would all fuck off back to the medieval shitholes they slithered out of. Most of them are incapable of integrating in civilised societies.

So tell me again. Why do they persist in committing violent acts on the societies that have generously accepted them?
