San Francisco high schoolers chanted antisemitic slogans as they marched down the hallway amid the Israel-Hamas firestorm.
A video posted on X showing adversarial students dressed in headscarves while shouting went viral on Thursday. “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free,” the group repeatedly shouted.
Holy shit, we have our work cut out for us in deprogramming a whole generation of antisemites. This is a high school in San Francisco.

More than a dozen students appeared to participate in the demonstration. One person is seen in the video holding a sign in the back of the crowd.
“Holy shit, we have our work cut out for us in deprogramming a whole generation of antisemites,” Eli Klein, who posted the viral video, wrote as a caption. “This is a high school in San Francisco.”
Klein explained that the students’ chant is “generally understood as a call for the elimination / destruction of Israel.” He called the slogan a “staple of antisemitic discourse” adopted by Islamic terror groups like Hamas.

Several college student organizations have held protests promoting Palestine and opposing Israel following Hamas’ attacks against Israel on Oct. 7. (RELATED: Donor Flees Harvard Over Failure To Take A ‘Clear And Unequivocal Stand’ After Hamas Attack)
A Cornell University professor was recently caught on video calling the Hamas attacks against unsuspecting Israelis “exhilarating” and “exciting.” In another incident, a Texas A&M University professor put a positive spin on Hamas, referring to the terror group as a “charity organization” and a “humanitarian group.”
