Ms. Rachel Accuses Silent Celebrities of Racism Over 20,000 Palestinian Children Killed in Gaza

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 13

Summary

  • Instagram posts on Saturday showed Ms. Rachel saying celebrities and leaders who stay silent on Gaza are racist, arguing they would speak out if the children killed were White.
  • Her remarks cited a toll of more than 20,000 Palestinian children killed and framed the silence as proof of a “hierarchy” in how children’s lives are valued.
  • The comments came less than two weeks after podcaster Avi Lichtschein confronted her over repeatedly calling Israel’s war against Hamas a genocide and warned that her platform carries consequences.
  • Israel has rejected U.N. findings that cited 20,179 Palestinian children killed through March 31 and accused the inquiry behind that figure of major methodological flaws.
  • The latest dispute adds to scrutiny of Ms. Rachel’s Gaza activism after a January apology over an accidentally liked antisemitic comment and her insistence that she opposes the Israeli government, not Israelis.
