Summary

  • Rolling Stone reported Tuesday that Ms. Rachel said criticism over her Gaza posts no longer fazes her, even after what she described as the fiercest backlash of her public advocacy.
  • Rachel Accurso said she will keep using her platform for Palestinian children despite warnings she could lose partnerships or views, arguing the children "gave me the platform."
  • Days earlier, she accused celebrities of a racial double standard for staying silent on Gaza and faulted Ed Sheeran for dropping Macklemore after the rapper's pro-Palestinian performances.
  • Pro-Israel critics say her posts spread anti-Israel propaganda and ignore Israeli victims; Coalition for Jewish Values executive Yaakov Menken contrasted Gaza's 0.031 million children with 35.5 million malnourished children elsewhere.
