"In March, for instance, Accurso posted a video of two children watching a Ms. Rachel video amid rubble. The caption read: “My friends Celine and Silia in what used to be their home in Gaza. They deserve to live in a warm, safe home again.”

On Monday, Accurso posted to her Instagram account photos of a meeting she said she had last week with Rahaf, a 3-year-old girl from Gaza who lost her legs in an airstrike, and the child’s mother. The meeting was arranged through the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund."

    But Accurso’s advocacy on behalf of Gazan children has led some supporters of Israel to accuse her of treating Palestinian children with more sympathy than Israeli ones, including those abducted in Hamas’s attack of Oct. 7, 2023.

    Maybe because there’s like 100x more Gazan children who have been injured and killed, and it is on-going, so focusing on the overwhelming majority is the logical thing to do here?

    Accurso “posted nearly 50 times about the children of Gaza, most of which is filled with misinformation from Hamas, and only 5 times about Israeli children,”

    So she actually posted disproportionately more about Israeli children, relative to the number of victims.

    Last month, the advocacy group StopAntisemitism labeled Accurso the “Antisemite of the Week”

    See my previous comment. These fucking clowns will bitch about anything and everything won’t they? Victim complex much? Help, we only have bipartisan support from the U.S. government, but that’s not enough! How dare private citizens not suck us off?

    StopAntisemitism tracks the statements of public figures for antisemitism under a polarizing definition that can include undermining Israel’s right to exist or comparing Israeli policy to Nazi policy.

    Antisemitism is about people. I do not acknowledge any inclusion of the state of Israel in the definition of antisemitism and will simply ignore any attempt by anyone to include it.

    “Antisemite of the week”

    Absurd. This just goes to show how hateful the Zionists are. They will call someone, who is trying to use their platform to bring more attention to the suffering children of Gaza, an antisemite. Fuck them. Hopefully they will all get what they deserve ☺️ Seriously, absolutely zero compassion for them. It should be universal to support children, especially those who are being starved, maimed and killed. Fuck Israel. From the river to the fucking sea!
