After the brutal Muslim terrorist attack on a Chanukah party at Bondi Beach, the Australian government and the media scrambled to whitewash Islam, ignoring the Jews, including an elderly couple, who were killed tackling one of the gunmen, and focusing all their attention on a Muslim who tried and failed to stop the gunman from continuing his massacre.
PM Albanese visited him in the hospital, but not the Jewish victims.
The authorities have been denying that there’s a larger systemic problem of Muslim genocidal antisemitism in Australia. This story neatly sums up the horrifying reality that the hospital treating one of the victims after the attack had to hide her identity to keep its Muslim staffers from finishing the job their co-religionists had started at the beach.
She was struck in the head by shrapnel and began bleeding heavily before she was admitted to Liverpool Hospital under her real name, with her surname and Jewish religion recorded.
“Next day, just before the operation, some administration staff came and she said, ‘We have to change your name’,” she said.
“They cut my (wristband) and put my new band on with ‘Karen Jones’ without any religions,” Ms Shikhverg told Sky News.
Hospital staff told her the change was to protect her from media attention, but Ms Shikhverg said the explanation made little sense.
“I start to remember not long ago the two people from Bankstown Hospital, they (were) openly threatening to kill Jews when they will come to a hospital. So I was so scared.”
“I was so scared and so upset. … I was thinking, ‘I have to be discharged very quick’ because I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t drink (and) I cried all the time.”
The incident follows the Bankstown Hospital scandal in February 2025, where two nurses were suspended after being filmed on TikTok threatening to kill Jewish patients.
She believed her name was changed to protect her from staff, rather than the media, and she was worried similar cases would happen to other Jewish people.
“In my opinion, they were afraid of staff (confronting me). They can’t trust their own staff,” she said.
“Now do Jewish people have to be afraid to go to (a) public hospital?”
Mr Park said the situation “could’ve been handled better” but was adamant hospital staff acted with “good intent” and that “Jewish people are safe in western Sydney hospitals”.
No one is safe under Islam. No one except Muslims.
You may remember Bankstown from that previous story in which Muslim ‘medical personnel’ employed there bragged about having already killed Jews.
Rashad Nadir, an Afghan refugee, said on video, “You have no idea how many [Israelis] came to this hospital, and I sent them to Jehannam [the Islamic equivalent of the underworld].”

“You have no idea how many Israeli dog came to this hospital and I,” Rashad says before making a throat-cutting gesture.
The Muslim personnel in question were barred from working in the health care system for only two years.
Local Jews have taken to hiding their identities to be treated at the hospital which apparently has large numbers of Muslims.
Rabbi Mendel Kastel is chief executive officer of Jewish House, a crisis centre in Sydney’s east, as well as a Jewish chaplain in a number of NSW hospitals said there were people in the community who felt anxious in the wake of the video.
Rabbi Kastel said a woman in her 40s recently underwent surgery at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney’s east and told him she “made a conscious decision to not write I was Jewish when asked to identify my religion”.
She told him it had gone against her nature to hide her identity.
Brisbane woman Sarah, whose name has been changed to protect her privacy, told the ABC she too sought to conceal her religion at a recent appointment with unfamiliar medical staff.
“I had a high level of distrust of medical staff, especially something as sensitive as trying to pass a work medical where you may not be cleared for a whole set of reasons which can be impenetrable.
“I was really worried about it.”
NSW Health secretary Susan Pearce said, “We understand the impact but what I would say [is] NSW Health is a very safe place. We very rapidly reviewed any actual harm associated with the comments made on that day, and we found none, and we were able to say that quite quickly because we had to take it seriously.”
“The day after the Bankstown incident, Rabbi Kastel and a senior Muslim chaplain along with others were filmed together to show the strength of their partnership,” she said.
“We understand the impact but what I would say [is] NSW Health is a very safe place. We very rapidly reviewed any actual harm associated with the comments made on that day, and we found none, and we were able to say that quite quickly because we had to take it seriously.”
The hospital is a very safe place because a video was made about how Islam is peaceful. And it will stay safe as long as none of the Muslims working there find out that the patients that Muslims tried to kill are Jewish.
