Viral Antisemitic Chant Sparks Legal Action Argentina

A viral video from a graduation trip in Argentina shows students from Escuela Humanos chanting the antisemitic slogan "Today, we burn the Jews," with a trip coordinator even joining in. The incident, which occurred during a trip to Bariloche where students from a Jewish school were also present, sparked national outrage and condemnation from Argentine President Javier Milei, who called the behavior "reprehensible." Both the school and the tour operator Baxtter condemned the chant, with Baxtter firing the coordinator involved and pledging to improve oversight. The Delegation of Argentine Jewish Associations (DAIA) filed a criminal complaint for incitement to hatred, emphasizing the need for educational and legal measures to prevent such incidents. Escuela Humanos, which promotes itself as training "ambassadors of peace," distanced itself from the event, attributing responsibility to the tour company and committing to anti-racism education. This episode has reignited concerns about antisemitism and Holocaust awareness among youth in Argentina.
