St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney will investigate the head of its transplant unit, Professor Peter Macdonald, over his claims that Israeli spy agency Mossad was behind two suspected anti-Semitic terror attacks in Australia last year. 

The leading cardiologist had been in the audience of a panel discussion organised by Palestine Justice Movement Sydney last weekend.

During the question-and-answer session, Professor Macdonald stood up and said: “I learned this week that Iran was behind the ‘terrorist’ attacks, the anti-Semitic terrorist attacks in Sydney,” using air quotes when he said “terrorist”.

He continued: “I thought it was a no-brainer that these were Mossad-engineered events. Am I being totally naive, or has the Zionist lobby infiltrated, taken over ASIO as well?”
