Rachel Griffin Accurso, whose ‘Ms. Rachel’ channel has 10 million subscribers, says she was cyberbullied for mentioning Gazan kids, but not Israelis, in a conflict zone fundraiser.
Following a backlash against a video fundraiser for children in numerous crisis zones, including Gaza, popular children’s video educator Ms. Rachel released a song Thursday in support of “all the children,” including hostages and those in Israel.
Rachel Griffin Accurso, also known as Ms. Rachel by her children and adult fans, has approximately 10 million YouTube subscribers and over 4 million TikTok followers.
Griffin Accurso began the fundraising on May 13 through the charity Save the Children, for which she is an ambassador.
The fundraiser, which sold out and raised $50,000, supports children in Gaza, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine, “and more,” according to the description on Cameo, where she is recording the 500 videos purchased so far.
While the majority of responses to the fundraiser has been positive, one vocal element of the internet has been divided: Jewish mothers who believe that Israeli children were left out of the event.
Save the Children does not operate in Israel, so the website redirects users to partner charities that do.
Save the Children has also published remarks regarding the situation in Israel and Gaza, including one expressing worry about the status of child hostages.
Ariel and Kfir Bibas are the two remaining kid hostages in Gaza.
Other critics argue that the fundraiser downplays the atrocities of Oct. 7 — when Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, including 39 children, and kidnapping 252 — and that some have even created parody videos of Ms. Rachel’s content to show footage from the attacks.
Griffin Accurso has spoken up about her experience being the target of cyberbullying as a result of the fundraiser.
Griffin Accurso has recently created a series of short videos explainingwhy the situation in Gaza is an emergency.
Comments on her Instagram postings about the fundraiser have been closed.
