Piers Akerman: Labor policies stir up anti-Jew hatred

Far from being an exception, the loathsome video featuring two NSW Health nurses gleefully expressing their desire to murder Jews is the horrifying norm, writes Piers Akerman.

The loathsome video featuring two NSW Health nurses gleefully expressing their desire to murder Jews in the most barbaric manner is no aberration.

It is the norm in readily identifiable groups and has been for at least 40 years.

It is institutionalised in some industries and state and federal government departments.

The ALP has not only turned a blind eye to their constituents’ anti-Semitism, it has assisted with the permanent migration of some of the most virulent anti-Semites.

That anti-Semitism is endemic within a large cohort of health workers is obvious.

Just look at the treatment nurse Sharon Stoliar received at the hands of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency when she reported nurses and midwives chanting “From the river to the sea” shortly after the October 7, 2023, massacre, rape, torture and kidnap of Israeli civilians.

The genocidal slogan calls for the annihilation of Jews.

Instead of acting on Ms Stoliar’s complaint, she was subjected to punishment by process when the agency and the Health Care Complaints Commission placed formal adjudications on her registration. This is par for the course for NSW government departments.

The institutionalisation of anti-Semitism has been promoted by the heads of leading universities, not the least Sydney University, which permitted a rabble of activists to intimidate students, Jews and non-Jews alike, with a semi-permanent encampment of advocates for leftist causes.

It is clear from the hateful genocidal chants and signs at public service protests that there are many more supporters of terror embedded in government organisations than the two nurses at Bankstown Hospital.

That they were ever employed in any health system in any capacity is a chilling indictment on the NSW government.

Our multiculturalism and immigration policies have failed the nation.
