The target
"..There’s a woman in my house every day who my toddler loves almost as much as he loves me, and her name is Ms Rachel. If you don’t spend much time with preschool-aged children, Ms Rachel – some people mistakenly say Miss, but the Ms is important, I feel – is probably not a name that will ring a bell. To parents and grandparents and other caregivers, however, she has become the closest thing that we have to a cult figure. You see, Ms Rachel is an angel, a goddess who has bestowed upon us her supreme gifts for entertaining and educating children. I have seen her referred to as “the world’s babysitter”; people jokingly offer to Venmo her cash for all the “childcare” she provides in keeping toddlers occupied. And it’s true that she has a unique talent when it comes to entrancing children, but the content she makes is so much more than that.
Ms Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Accurso, started her Songs for Littles series of videos because she was frustrated by the lack of media resources for her son, who had a speech delay and said his first word at two years and eight months. As a public preschool music teacher with a background in music education who is married to a Broadway music director and composer, she was incredibly well placed to become the resource she knew other parents were desperately searching for. Making herself the star and donning a now-famous pair of dungarees and a pink headband, she deliberately borrowed techniques from her son’s early intervention speech therapist to create her videos. As of this week, Ms Rachel has clocked up 8.6bn total views. In short, to many of us, and our kids, she has become a superstar..."

the shameful attempt to shut her down,...
If you believe that babies can tell when a person is truly good, then it should be no surprise that Ms Rachel – the beloved kids’ YouTube sensation – has remained on the right side of every sociopolitical debate since the image of her pink tee and denim dungarees became ubiquitous in households with children across the world.
But when Ms Rachel, whose given name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, began speaking out about the genocide in Gaza, pro-Israel rightwingers put a massive target on her back.
Accurso first made her stance public around May 2024, when she announced a fundraiser for children in Gaza and other war zones. Since then, she’s consistently drawn attention to the tragedy in Palestine by sharing statistics on the crisis along with images of Palestinian children with her social media audience of tens of millions of followers, and the right has been after her since.

Back in March, the New York Post ran an article about Accurso calling her a “Woke brainwasher” and warning parents against the influence they were allowing into their homes.
Then, last month, the pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether Ms Rachel was operating as a foreign agent because of her posts about children in Gaza. In an open letter to the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, they asked authorities to find out whether Accurso was “being remunerated to disseminate Hamas-aligned propaganda to her millions of followers”.

Meet Ms Rachel, the YouTube goddess worshipped by toddlers and parents alike | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
Her videos offer so much more than speech therapy and a brief respite from childcare: she is part of the fabric of our lives, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

Why is a pro-Israel group asking the US to investigate Ms Rachel?
The beloved children’s entertainer has been speaking out as tens of thousands of children are killed or injured in Gaza
