A group of young children were heard chanting slogans calling for “intifada” and labelling Israel “haram” at a so-called “kids excursion” to the pro-Palestine encampment at the University of Sydney on Friday.Both Arabic terms, intifada translates roughly to “uprising”, while haram means “forbidden”.
A video posted to X showed children alongside a number of adults chanting pro-Palestinian messages, with one small girl using a megaphone to lead a call and response of: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. The social media video also showed the children doing arts and crafts, painting the Palestinian flag on pieces of paper and on their hands and cheeks.
