Avi Lichtschein said he confronted Ms. Rachel at a neighborhood park after she accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, citing 20,000 children killed in the war with Hamas.
Rachel Griffin Accurso, the children's YouTuber, told him she was not anti-Israel but opposed the Israeli government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Lichtschein's account.
Lichtschein said he rejected that distinction, accused her of spreading "blood libel" and harmful rhetoric, and argued her large audience gives her responsibility for downstream effects on Jews worldwide.
He later apologized to Accurso's husband for upsetting her but said he did not retract his criticism; Fox News Digital said it sought comment from Accurso.
