May 14, 2025"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!
Toddlers shouldn’t be on twitter anyway
No one should be on twitter. It’s a nazi-owned platform.
Did you eat paint chips when you were young or something?
You do realize it is the parents who are choosing the videos for their children to watch, right?
UnCiViL!
Maybe toddlers whose home is rubble need a little mental escape into a Ms. Rachel video. Mr Rogers would be better, but it’s not like they can go to a nice park.
Are either of them dubbed? I don’t think subtitles that young would be appropriate
There are people in Gaza who speak English and want their kids to learn it. Also, subtitles or closed captions is a good first step in teaching toddlers to read.
Yes to the English. But toddlers can’t read yet, so subtitles won’t be useful unless an adult is also reading or explaining them — just watching TV, even with subtitles, is not enough for language development in toddlers.
What does this mean?
She does educational videos on YouTube that parents put on for their toddlers.
Toddlers shouldn’t be on YouTube anyway
The toddlers aren’t the ones on YouTube.
There’s an ad free kid friendly version of YouTube that hides all the weird shit.
Where is the show?
On whatever screen the adult plays it on 👀
What, do you expect parents to parent instead of letting the TV parent? Based.
Or, hear me out: These videos can be a fun way to supplement what parents are teaching their children.
Anything less than actual human or world interaction is less effective for child development. If we look at Coco melon, it is actively detrimental.
Found the non parent who thinks they know better.
Do you think Coco Melon is a good thing?
Having your house reduced to rubble is also pretty bad for early childhood development. Maybe let’s focus on the bigger issues here.
That’s ridiculous. 🙄
It’s like buying an expensive car and not doing any maintenance on it and then getting pissed off when it kills a classroom full of kids.
I mean yeah, but only if you pointed the car at the school and put a brick on the gas pedal.
If you don’t point it there…… it won’t go there.
Mate. I think it’s you who needs less YouTube.
I don’t use google products.
