Another blight on the Australian healthcare industry, with revelations that Jemima Rose Demanuele, one of the members of the lynch mob that attacked Melbourne Israeli-owned restaurant Miznon, worked at St Vincent’s Hospital.
I say “worked” in past tense.

An unruly anti-police and anti-Israel protester who was snapped sticking her middle finger up during a chaotic attack on an Israeli restaurant has been stood down from her job at one the state’s busiest hospitals.
Jemima Demanuele, a prominent pro-Palestine activist, has been dropped from her role transferring patients at St Vincent’s Hospital after she was caught flipping off terrified staff and patrons amid the violent ambush at Miznon on Friday night.
Ms Demanuele was part of a group of about 20 activists who ambushed staff and diners at the popular Hardware Lane restaurant, chanting “death to the IDF”.
The busy CBD hospital told the Herald Sun she had been stood down pending a full investigation into her alleged conduct.
“St Vincent’s is aware of social media content connecting a staff member with a protest that took place at a Melbourne CBD restaurant on Friday night,” a spokesperson said.
“St Vincent’s is a health organisation founded on love and compassion.
“All patients – whatever their backgrounds and beliefs – are welcome and safe in our services, and we have zero tolerance for any behaviour that interferes with people’s right to feel safe while going about their lives.”
The Herald Sun can also reveal that Ms Demanuele, who regularly appears at weekly protests, has previously been charged over her anti-social behaviour.
She was hauled in front of the Magistrates Court in May for charges including obstructing an emergency worker on duty and behaving in an offensive manner in public.
It’s understood she received a good behaviour bond, with no conviction.
When the Herald Sun called Ms Demanuale for comment she hung up.
She seems nice.
Actually, you don’t know the half of it.
In an Israellycool exclusive, I can reveal that over a year ago, she bragged on Instagram about her backpack “swag” – which clearly included the Hamas logo in a number of places:
From what I understand, she has not brandished those on her backpack for the past year – probably to prevent arrest – but the fact she was ever proudly displaying those speaks volumes.
Similarly, she seems to have been wearing a Hamas logo at the protests; the below image of her is from June 2024:
If you Zoom in, it seems she is wearing the Hamas logo beneath her Karen-keffiyeh:
which definitely puts the “Intifada” sticker on her drum into perspective.
Meanwhile, Jemima Rose Demanuele is not the only vile “Demanuele.”
Gaye Demanuele, said by some to be Jemima’s mother, was also at the violent protest:
I have done a deep dive on the Demanueles and the Melbourne hard-left activist scene.

and she has quite the past:
Midwives who cared for Melbourne mother Caroline Lovell, who died hours after giving birth to her daughter at home, were “grossly incompetent”, an expert believes.
Gaye Demanuele and Melody Bourne were alongside Lovell when she delivered her second daughter in a birthing pool in her Watsonia living room in January 2012.
Lovell fainted getting out of the birthing pool and later went into cardiac arrest. She was resuscitated by paramedics and rushed to hospital but died from multi-organ failure.
Demanuele and Bourne are charged with manslaughter, allegedly a result of gross negligence in their care of her.

Euan Wallace, who was the head of obstetrics and gynaecology at Monash University before becoming Department of Health secretary last year, found their actions were “grossly incompetent and significantly below the standard of care expected” by Australian midwives.
The charges were later struck out.
And there is also an Anneke Demanuele, who was one of the organisers of the Land Forces International Land Defense Exposition protests last year in which all sorts of vile hijinx occurred.
She’s Gaye’s daughter, which means she is possibly Jemima’s sister.
Turds of a feather.
Update: Let’s not forget Ella.
