A quick Google search on hebrew remove nikkud gave an answer.

On Github there's a JavaScript with a live preview code. If it's little text you could use the JavaScript either online or download and use it on your pc (save as .js).

The Hebrew charcodes are all between 1425 and 1479 and the nikkud are between 0591 and 05C7.

Python implementation (tested):

import unicodedata
# nikkud-test.txt is the file you save your text in.
f= open('nikkud-test.txt','r', encoding='utf-8') 
content = f.read()
normalized=unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', content)
no_nikkud=''.join([c for c in normalized if not unicodedata.combining(c)])
no_nikkud
f.close()
f = open('no-nikkud-test.txt','w',encoding='utf-8')
fw = f.write(no_nikkud)
f.close()

This works very fast.
