American YouTuber Rachel Accurso, who runs the beloved children’s channel Ms Rachel for Littles, has said silence wasn’t a choice for her after she watched videos of children suffering in Gaza.
In an interview with Mehdi Hasan for his independent media company Zeteo, Accurso, who has remained vocal on the plight of Gaza’s children, said that it should be controversial to not say anything.
“It’s sad that people try to make it controversial when you speak out for children that are facing immeasurable suffering.” The YouTuber said her compassion didn’t have boundaries or borders, adding that she simply loved children.
“The idea that caring for a group of children in an emergency situation means you don’t care about other children is false.” Last year, Accurso said she was facing severe bullying for not caring about “all children” after she started a campaign to raise funds for children in distress in Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan, but did not include Israeli children.
