YouTube star educator Ms Rachel draws ire over Gaza appeals

  • YouTube educator Ms Rachel Accurso launched a fundraising drive in May last year to support Palestinian children in Gaza amid ongoing conflict.
  • The fundraising and her public appeals followed an abrupt shift in her focus triggered by the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel which killed 1,218 Israelis.
  • Accurso's advocacy highlighted the plight of more than 10,000 children reportedly killed or starved in Gaza, while also drawing accusations of anti-Israel bias and calls for a federal investigation.
  • Accurso stood firm in interviews, arguing that remaining silent on these issues should be seen as more problematic, and highlighted her commitment to supporting children from all backgrounds.
  • Despite mounting backlash and a pro-Israel lobby group's urging for investigation, Accurso doubled down on her message as aid slowly trickled into Gaza after weeks of cutoff.
