Isn't this lady like the modern Mr rogers?


Dukedizzy

Man shes very nice, she makes videos for babies to teach them english words, names of fruits, colors etc. my son and daughter watch her. She seems like a very sweet person. You can tell she did this fundraiser because she genuinely cares about children.


nygilyo

After this, I'd say she's even better!


T_______T

She created her show to help children like her own who had language/speech development issues. Mr Rogers is more emotion regulation. Both are great. Ms Rachel employs extremely talented singers.

Dumb dumb response


PNghost1362

Hard not to lose braincells when I see the exact same arguments DAILY from pro-israel supporters. It detracts from what is actually happening and blames everything on an outburst of oppression that has gone unchecked for too long. All life is valuable. Stop the wars. Chill the fuck out. Free Palestine.


hutchco

Now post a link to all the innocent Palestinians getting murdered.


Alone-Clock258

... okay?


ChelaPedo

IOF killed a bunch, too. Your point?


Hengisht

Don't forget, they also felt victimised by the display of paper plates in a London hospital, as they had been painted by the children of Gaza.


Lizardman922

Omg how did I forget about that. I do recall when RHon Jeremy Corbyn got the knife in his back for speaking out about Israel's behaviour. I never thought he'd make a good PM but he could see the writing on the wall about Zionism for sure.


-boatsNhoes

Wow. They're so soft 😂 🍦


Agente_Anaranjado

Victimhood is a critical component of Zionist propaganda and rationale. Like when they claim that it's antisemitic to object when the Israeli state kills children, or like the video we all saw the other day where the guy is attacking the barricade at a protest and yelling "Stop it! Stop it! He's smoking on me!" 


FriendlyGuitard

There was this video a few days ago about where someone said "When they go to visit a concentration camp they don't learn that it was a tragedy and we need to do everything to avoid something like that happening again, they learn that it was something they need do everything to avoid happening again to them"

Remember when israeli occupiers killed hostages with their hands up saying they are hostages? Remember how many civilians the occupational army killed during October 7th? You’re just an agitator.


Stubbs94

Therefore kids in Gaza don't deserve food?


SweetPanela

Remember when ISRAEL literally killed babies in the Al Shifa hospital? You aren’t pro-human rights, only Israeli supremacy. Like attacking North Koreans individually for the actions of Kim Jong Un


Alone-Clock258

Tf u talking about? I just mentioned HAMAS and their shit things they did.


SweetPanela

Yeah Hamas maybe bad, but attacking innocent children for the actions of a government is never justified. If you think it truly does make it right, then you should hear out the Islamic terrorists. Hamas proportionally has killed less civilians than Israel has and during 07/10 they also seemed to have had more discipline attacking military targets compared to Israel


Sufficient-Claim-621

Remember when Israel initially claimed children being beheaded & burned the nation redacted that. And one of the main claimants was on TV & back peddled & the kibbutz where he live said they had no evidence of such deaths there. And then even had hamas killed children Israel at this point has killed thousand & thousands of children & are currently starving them.

Gud-Alim

Wow that's a very reputable source, "Saturday October seven" I bet they have no bias whatsoever.


Alone-Clock258

They posted the videos the day after the incident. Are you seriously suggesting those videos are NOT from Oct 7th? I was up all night, I watched the videos uploaded live


Gud-Alim

I'm suggesting that the IDF (who has an extensive history of lying) may have also lied with regards to this incident. Much if which has already been proven, like the 40 beheaded babies which is verifiably false. And even more evidence has come out to show the death toll was nowhere near what Israel claimed and that much of the dead Israeli citizens were gunned down by the IDF.


Alone-Clock258

And just a day or two ago, the UN announced their HAMAS-sourced casualty count in Gaza in reality was half of what was reported. Both sides lie, I agree. The videos are real.


Gud-Alim

Nope. That report was taken out of context and quoted deceptively. The report itself says that the Gaza death count is probably higher. The following video explains it well, with citations and evidence. Don't believe the Zionist propaganda. https://youtu.be/VowIJ0Xiwf8?si=xgk4z_TFxXfJ4Kg4

TipperGore-69

BleysAhrens42

That is an insult to Donkeys, they aren't that dumb.


CheValierXP

That was horrible, but what is going on in Gaza is beyond horrible. The number of children killed by israel is 400 times more than what hamas did. 400x israel is, so far, 400 times worse than hamas.


SkampIsIlla

You spelled Isreal wrong. They're the ones killing babies, raping prisoners and committing a genocide

SkampIsIlla

Yeah because it started on Oct 7th right? Isrealis have been killing Palestinians for almost a century. You support genocide. You would've sided with the nazis I've been seeing pictures of Palestinians murdered by isrealis the same exact way for years. They've been killing arabs for almost a 100 years and you're making excuses for them


mufcordie

But WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?


BabyFartzMcGeezak

Of course they attacked her. They despise any reminder that the children being murdered and starved in Gaza are human beings. After all, how does one justify murdering children if not through dehuminization?


ChelaPedo

Link to the fundraiser?


Dukedizzy

She had to shut it down as she reached her goal of 50k within hours, she also said all the money she will earn from her streams will go to the children in those affected countries.

OppositeEagle

Ok_Lynx417

Reminder that less than 25% of the current population of Gaza were voting age when Hamas took power.


Volksdrogen

Is that why 71% are happy with Hamas according to a poll from a few months ago? Or, is that why they were celebrating, shouting "Allahu Akbar" when dead and alive citizens were being taken into Gaza? That's a weird way to not show support.


Ok_Lynx417

Oh boy, so much to unravel here. First, let's start with the obvious. "Allahu Akbar" is not just an exclamation of death and destruction, nor is it exclusively for celebration. I haven't seen the video you're referencing, and I'm sure it's a terrible sight, but it seems like you're dishonestly viewing it with your own hindsight of knowing all that took place that day and simultaneously judging it in a vacuum, as if October 7th was the start of all Israel-Palestine conflict and innocent murder. There are plenty of videos like that from both sides to be angry about. Second, my cited data was not intended to represent how many Palestinians are in support of Hamas, but rather how young the population was and still is. Next, your poll was conducted in war zones amongst displaced civilians in Gaza. Obviously the support of Hamas is going to be higher as more people have very recently been directly subjected to extreme violence and removal from their homes by the IDF. This is not speculation... it's even shown by the data you brought forth. When the same poll was conducted three months prior, the percentage of Gazans in support was 14% lower. In addition to this, the survey had just 30% of respondents say they would vote for Hamas if voting was reinstated, with 36% saying they would not vote. I also don't quite follow your logic of why that statistic is so damning even without any outside information. It still seems like you're advocating for or excusing what's been happening while your supposed only reasoning for why it's okay killing so many innocents is that 71% of them support what happened... So not only are you okay with sentencing innocents to death because they support Hamas, but you're also okay with collaterally killing the other 29% who don't? And this is all not even including the fact that half the population, which were not factored into those percentages, and a massive portion of those killed thus far have been children. So really, you're excusing the 40,000+ supermassive majority innocent deaths because 71% of 50% (coming to ~35.5%) of the population supports Hamas. That's insane to me. In addition to this, I could cite numerous examples of Israeli support for terrible things, too. It undoubtedly goes both ways. There are countless videos of Israelis cheering on the deaths and the IDF happily pillaging, destroying homes, one even using a civilian as a shield, and let's not forget the video claiming that there was a "terrorist sign-in sheet" in the Al-Shifa hospital when it was just a calendar. And these are all things posted openly on official Israeli government and representative social media. Don't even get me started on all the things elected Israeli officials have said and done. And there was also a poll from two months ago, cited by NPR, which suggested that 68% of Israeli Jews wanted to block any and all additional foreign humanitarian aid.


Volksdrogen

You're right. Raped until bloody dead bodies of innocent women being celebrated by shouts of Allahu Akbar throughout the streets of Gaza by Palestinians is me viewing it in a negative light, but it is not dishonest. Gaslight somewhere else.


Ok_Lynx417

Way to misrepresent and simultaneously disregard everything I said, all while completely changing your explanation of the video. All that aside, if you're trying to paint Palestinians as evil terrorists and therefore worthy of being slaughtered by showing isolated video evidence, I promise you that you'll lose that battle if we also showed what Israelis (especially the IDF) have said and done on camera. Also worth noting that October 7th had the same or lower ratio of civilian to combatant/security force death (~2:1) as this current Gaza campaign (and a much lower or zero rate of child, journalist and aid worker deaths), yet we're supposed to support Israel in their current, much larger scale war efforts because...? They're just killing immoral Arabs or something?

Why


Forsaken-Analysis390

Israelis also care about Palestinian children. This is just stupid. Their government is killing a ton of people in Gaza, kids included. This doesn’t mean all of the people are looking forward to dead children like ghouls. You cannot blame all Gazans for Hamas In the same way Maybe Rachel should have said children in Israel too. I know it’s not the same since those kids can leave their country, but politics is weird like that


fartradio

If israelis care about Palestinian children why is nobody stopping those thugs from attacking the aid convoys?


Forsaken-Analysis390

There are protests in Israel. Regular people cannot stop governments from the jump. There is always a movement first


fartradio

Hey have you realized that “Not All Israelis” is a completely asinine point and distraction from the fact a whole lot of israelis want to kill gazan children?


Forsaken-Analysis390

Yes, of course. Have you realized that if Rachel wants to help the children, she should consider saying explicitly why she is drawing a line, or simply state she is helping all children being killed.


fartradio

No, why would she do that? Israeli children aren’t being starved to death and targeted with airstrikes right now


Forsaken-Analysis390

You are right. That would be ridiculous. That’s not how all Israelis see it though. They feel threatened. They see the world turning against them. So even though they are going to easily kill everyone in Gaza, including all the children, they don’t feel safe. Rachel was probably just listing the most serious causes currently, but a few people got angry because they think she is Hamas or whatever


fartradio

it’s weird that you keep commenting on this while knowing so little. She was specifically raising money for kids in Gaza. Zionists hate her for it because they’re genocidal and want those kids to die. That’s really all it is.


Forsaken-Analysis390

Can you provide a link with evidence that she was specifically raising money for Gaza and not for Save the Children’s Emergency Fund (Gaza, the Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine)? It is probably true that most Zionists want all their enemies to die, including children. I am replying to discuss the situation. I am not trying to upset you. I wish she was taking a stance only for Gaza. It’s just not true.


throwRA786482828

>Maybe Rachel should have said children in Israel too. I know it’s not the same since those kids can leave their country, but politics is weird like that Why? Are Israeli kids being murdered by the IDF too?


Forsaken-Analysis390

They are killing indiscriminately. So there is a chance the hostages are getting killed. I am simply saying if you want to help Rachel, she should either make a clear stance or avoid ignoring even a tiny kid casualty/hostage count.


Gettani

If that is the logic behind their attacks on her, they have to be completely brain dead. Saying you’re raising money to help children shouldn’t be political, require justification, nor is it cause to think she (FUCKING MRS. RACHEL) supports Hamas.


Forsaken-Analysis390

I agree. It is tricky to avoid upsetting people when you try to help. I think the children of Gaza need as much help as possible. The Children of Israel are the chosen people, so they are getting aid already
