Back in September last year, I posted about a couple of Australia healthcare workers who claimed to have been “falsely accused of antisemitism,” as part of a “Zionist witch-hunt” to “silence people who speak out against violence or criticise Israel since October 2023.”
One was Dr Jennifer Martinez, the head doctor for the sexual assault service at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, as well as a GP for a national mental health charity. As I wrote at the time, she had used repeated social media references to other doctors, including Jewish doctors, as “Zio doc flops”, “Zimbos”, “butthurt Zio doctors”, “Zionist extremists”, “demons”, and “gronks,” and also appeared to back the doxxing of 600 Jewish creatives.
In other words, a real piece of work.
I am pleased to report it seems she has either left her role… or been pushed out.
The head of one of Sydney’s busiest sexual assaults services has abruptly left her role midway through her term, following a News24.com.au exposé revealing allegations of antisemitic abuse.
Dr Jennifer Martinez, a vocal anti-Israel activist, quietly left her senior position at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital last week, despite having only been appointed to the role in February last year for a minimum of five years.
The GP’s sudden departure follows a 15-month investigation by NSW Health into a formal complaint of “antisemitic bias” and “online bullying”, first revealed by News24.com.au last year.

Dr Martinez emailed hospital colleagues on October 27, informing them she would be finishing in her role in six days.
She did not disclose the reason for her departure, but hinted: “I’m not very good at staying quiet when something doesn’t seem right… I hope you’ll keep asking questions… and keep speaking up for the people who need you to.”

Last Friday, RPA acting general manager Rebecca Tyson emailed Australian Zionist Healthcare Alliance co-founder Sharon Stoliar, who had lodged the initial complaint, to advise her the formal investigation into Dr Martinez had been completed.
“As you will appreciate, the outcome of the matter is confidential, however please be assured that the appropriate action has been taken by the [Sydney Local Health District],” Ms Tyson wrote.

Alliance committee member Sue Beutem said the hospital’s response was not good enough.
“It would be very difficult to be assured if you’re not quite sure what the action is,” Dr Beutem said.

Dr Beutem said she would be surprised if Dr Martinez had left the hospital on her own accord.
“It’s very unusual for someone to leave a role of such a nature after two years, considering it’s a very lucrative role and it’s an important role in the community and it probably would be significantly more lucrative than a general practice job,” she said.
But don’t feel too sorry for her (!) – she has apparently landed on her feet as the medical director for a corporate medical service in Sydney, where she presents herself as “well-rounded”:
Interesting an old photo of her appears alongside that bio – and not how she actually now looks:
Note how she is “currently developing a support program aimed at new mothers.” Which is all well and good, although given her apparent feelings towards Zionists, one wonders whether all new mothers can expect the same level of support.
And apparently she enjoys horror movies.
Perhaps she should try watching the October 7 footage. Although unlike her preferred genre, that horror was real.
