Ms. Rachel claims celebrities silent on Gaza would ‘probably’ speak if children ‘were White’

Children's YouTuber star Ms.

Rachel accused celebrities and leaders of racism on Saturday for remaining silent about Palestinian children killed in Gaza, claiming the lack of public advocacy reflected a racial double standard in how children's lives are valued.

Ms.

Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, directly accused those who have not spoken publicly about the war of treating Palestinian children differently because of their race.

"They probably would say something if these kids were White and from a different place.

Please stop being racist and risk something," Accurso said on Instagram .

CHILDREN'S YOUTUBE STAR 'MS.

RACHEL' STIRS CONTROVERSY WITH RACIAL CLAIM ABOUT NOLAN WELLS INVESTIGATION The accusation came less than two weeks after podcaster Avi Lichtschein confronted Accurso over her repeated characterization of Israel's war against Hamas as a "genocide." Lichtschein told Fox News Digital that even if Accurso's advocacy comes from concern for children, her enormous platform requires her to consider the impact of the rhetoric she promotes.

"When you have an audience as enormous as hers, you have a responsibility to understand the consequences of the claims you’re amplifying," Lichtschein said.

Accurso divided celebrities and leaders into two groups: those willing to speak publicly about Palestinian children and those she claimed were deliberately remaining silent because they placed less value on their lives.

"Those who are willing to shout at the top of their lungs that over 20,000 Palestinian children shouldn’t have been killed in the Gaza genocide and those that remain silent because these children are not worth it to them," Accurso said.

"I see that you have a hierarchy of children’s lives."
