"A sweeping investigation by #TheAustralian has detailed a series of allegations that #antisemitism has intensified across #Australia’s #healthcare system since #October7, prompting some #Jewish #patients to conceal their identity when seeking #medicaltreatment.
The report includes testimony from patients and #medical professionals who allege that Jewish patients were, in some cases, deliberately mistreated while receiving care. The claims include repeated and painful attempts to insert intravenous lines, failure to provide pain relief to women after childbirth and offensive remarks by #medicalstaff.
As a result, the investigation found that many #Jews are afraid to seek care at #hospitals and #clinics, while those who do often conceal their Jewish identity out of concern that it could affect the way they are treated."

@dukepaaron@babka.social this is horrific but predictable. The international communities refusal to hold Israel to account for genocide along with the conflation on Zionism with Judaism has lead to so much impotent anger, some will spill over into lashing out at innocent parties. In the same way that Muslims and Sickhs were target after 911, Russian foreigners today. People yell at the innocent employee at the lost luggage counter, or the train conductor if the train is late, horrific but predictable.

@dukepaaron@babka.social Absolutely terrifying, and honestly, I have similar worries about Canada. I've met openly antisemitic Canadian doctors.
