ALBAWABA - Beloved children's social media personality Ms. Rachel was recently dubbed "Anti-semite of the Year" by American Jewish nonprofit group StopAntisemitism. The incident sparked debate among pro-Palestine and human rights activists, with many taking to the influencer's defense.
The children's content creator is best known for catering content towards children across various platforms. She has been a strong advocate and a supporter of the Palestinian children affected by Israel's two-year aggression on Gaza, by using her platform to spread their voices and raise money for them.
According to Gaza's Health Ministry, Israel's two-year aggression on the Strip resulted in the killing of over 70,000 Palestinians and the injuring of more than 170,000, of whom were women and children.
Ms. Rachel featured Palestinian children affected by the war on her platform to promote children's rights and showcase the atrocities Israel committed.
