Syre Elementary School, a highly ranked public school in Shoreline, Wash., near Seattle, taught children as young as 7 years old to chant “Free Palestine” and “From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea,” and instructed them to hold mock anti-Israel protests.

That’s according to the pro-Israel nonprofit StandWithUs, which says that Syre engaged in “indoctrination, promoted hatred and created a hostile classroom environment towards the Israeli and Jewish communities.”

Randy Kessler, northwest regional director for StandWithUs, added that the anti-Israel teaching “?threatens to solidify antisemitic thoughts and carries the potentialof encouraging further violent actions.”

“They use their voices,” another chyron states, as young children yell, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

The video further suggests that indigenous peoples support Palestinians and ends with a man holding a microphone up to toddlers in strollers. He says “Free” and they say “Palestine” before the video ends with a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.

JNS sought comment from the school principal and the district superintendent but did not hear back by press time. StandWithUs told JNS it also has yet to receive a response from either.

Beyond that video, StandWithUs says the Washington school instructed children to make anti-Israel signs and engage in a mock protest.
