Ms. Rachel, the YouTube personality who has become wildly popular among toddlers, says she’s willing to “risk her career” to stand up for children in war-torn Gaza.
Ms. Rachel, whose full name is Rachel Accurso, is a children's educator who has become a sort of modern-day Mr. Rogers — with denim overalls, a pink headband and a cheery smile.
She has billions of views on YouTube, where her videos and songs focus on language development.
Recently, even Netflix began streaming some of her episodes.
But she has made headlines in recent weeks for speaking out on her other social media platforms about children living inside Gaza. Her comments have sparked backlash from people who say she has not spent as much time talking about Israeli children.
