Popular children's content creator Ms. Rachel says that criticism for her continued advocacy for Palestinian children is unfair and that it "should be controversial to not say anything.”
Ms. Rachel, whose full name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, addressed the backlash she has gotten in recent months for her advocacy during an interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan, on his independent publication Zeteo.
“It’s sad that people try to make it controversial when you speak out for children that are facing immeasurable suffering,” Accurso said in the interview, posted May 12. “The idea that caring for a group of children in an emergency situation means you don’t care about orether children is false.”
Accurso said that her experience as a mother of two young children influenced her to raise awareness for the traumatic events being experienced by children in Gaza.
