Parents, Take Note: The Anti-Israel Move by the Popular Children's Star

Children's star 'Ms. Rachel' donated $3,000 to the Senate campaign of Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who accused Israel of 'genocide'. The donation was revealed in Federal Election Commission documents and sparked harsh criticism in the US.

Popular children's star 'Ms. Rachel' (Rachel Griffin Accurso) donated $3,000 to the Senate campaign of Michigan Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed, as reported by the New York Post. El-Sayed has previously called the Israeli government a 'pariah state' and accused it of 'genocide'. The donation was revealed in Federal Election Commission documents from July 19, though it is unclear whether it is a donation or a loan. The move sparked an uproar in the US: Sheila Nazarian, a plastic surgeon and reality TV star, said the decision is 'very disappointing', and Samantha Cantrell, a spokesperson for the Republican Senators' election committee, attacked the move. Accurso chose not to respond. 'Ms. Rachel' has over 20 million YouTube subscribers and about 5 million followers on social media, and is also popular in Israel. In recent years, she has criticized Israel and accused it of 'genocide' and harming children in Gaza.
