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

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.
