Footage has emerged of one of the nurses stood down over a vile anti-Semitic rant leading a prayer about martyrdom.
Rashad Nadir, 27, was filmed at a Sydney mosque leading a Noha or Nawha.
The Islamic elegy commemorates the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali in the historic Battle of Karbala.
Nadir passionately sang the poem in front of dozens of fellow Muslims in a nearly seven-minute clip posted by his brother to YouTube in June 2020.
The video of Nadir was uploaded exactly two months before the refugee, originally from Afghanistan, was granted Australian citizenship.
The clip was deleted on Wednesday night, hours after disturbing footage emerged of Nadir and his Bankstown Hospital colleague Sarah Abu Lebdeh, spouting anti-Semitic hatred to Israeli influencer Max Veifer.
'It's Palestine's country, not your country you piece of s***,' Abu Lebdeh told Mr Veifer.
Both Nadir and Abu Lebdeh claimed they 'won't treat Israeli people'. Abu Lebdeh added 'I'll kill them', and Nadir was filmed making a slicing gesture over his throat.
Nadir later insisted his comments were 'a joke and a misunderstanding'.
He vowed to apologise to the 'Jewish community and anyone I've offended' as soon as he had spoken to police, who are now investigating the pair.
'It was a joke, a misunderstanding … I will use social media, anything, to apologise but I need to go and see the detectives first,' he told the Daily Telegraph.
'I didn't mean to offend. It wasn't meant to be like this.'
He covered his head in shame when Seven News confronted him at his western Sydney home.
