Popular Kids Entertainer Says She’ll Risk Her Career To Stand Up For Children In Gaza

Ms. Rachel sparked controversy last month when a 3-year-old girl from Gaza who lost her legs in an airstrike danced and sang in one of her videos.

Ms. Rachel, an extremely popular YouTuber whom toddlers may adore even more than chicken nuggets and bubbles, told NPR’s “Here and Now” Tuesday that she’s willing to risk her career to advocate for children in Gaza. On May 21, she posted a video to her social media accounts in which she sang her popular song “Hop Little Bunnies” while a 3-year-old girl from Gaza named Rahaf, who lost her legs in an airstrike, danced beside her. In response to the video, the pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism — which the Guardian says “doxes people it deems antisemitic” — wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi calling on her to investigate Ms. Rachel for being “remunerated to disseminate Hamas-aligned propaganda to her millions of followers.”
